Members of SFTR-Broward enjoy state-wide trail rides and camping trips year round with locally hosted rides at least two or three times per month. SFTR-Broward participates in the Orange Blossom, Holly Day and Electric Light parades, sponsors charity events and fundraisers. In the fall we hold a fun show, our Halloween Costume Ride, then our Annual Christmas Party, which are tradition celebrations for our members’ – riders and spectators, parents and children alike. Another great event is our Annual Pancake Breakfast and Tack Sale held at scenic Robbins Lodge in Davey. There is something for everyone, whether you own a horse, know someone who does, or are hoping someday to make one part of your family. |
