HRYL COMING TO NJ – GAITWAY FARM TO HOST
 |
Always on the move: The HRYL will make six stops during the 2010 schedule. |
The Harness Horse Youth Foundation is pleased to announce that Gaitway Farm, located in Englishtown, NJ, will host their first Harness Racing Youth League summer camp on July 12 – 16, 2010.
HRYL camps are designed for young people ages 12 to 14 who want to learn more about harness racing. No previous experience with horses is necessary. During the 5-day program, participants are immersed in the daily care of seven horses, learning about their equipment and the regular routine of barn chores. In addition, the participants are introduced to career opportunities, equine conformation, driving techniques and strategies and many other facets of the horse industry.
The Gaitway Farm camp joins the list of five HRYL events previously scheduled. Those include Odds On Racing June 16 – 20; Vernon Downs July 6 – 10; Goshen Historic Track July 18 – 22; Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs July 27 – 31; and the “final” at The Meadowlands August 6 – 7.
HHYF is also participating in Family Days at Harrington Raceway on June 5 and Goshen Historic Track on June 6 as well as sponsoring the HHYF Leadership Program for ages 14 and older on July 22 – 24.
Applications for the Gaitway Farm camp and other HRYL locations can be downloaded here. For more information call the HHYF office at 317-867-5877.
