“The HHYF board recently reexamined our efforts and found we needed to readjust and rededicate in an attempt to reach even more young people” said Executive Director Ellen Taylor. “To achieve this, HHYF is planning to include for this year 5-, 3-, and 1-day events depending on the location. This also means we are doing our best to ‘extend the season’ in coordination with school schedules.”
HHYF activities are almost solely supported by private donations. The organization is now seeking sponsors and contributors to assist with the summer programs, from travel expenses to child registration fees as well as full sponsorship of members of the HHYF stable of Trottingbreds who are used extensively to teach the fundamentals of horsemanship.

A charitable organization, HHYF seeks to provide young people and their families information and experiences with harness horses in order to foster the next generation of fans and participants.
