Horse Lovers Day History...
Leatherman Lane hosted its 5th and final Horse Lovers Day event back in 2015. Having outgrown our small farm, with over 2500 people in attendance at this 1-day event, we shut “HLD” down for safety reasons, promising to bring it back when we expanded our facility “someday”. This cherished, family friendly event was a fun, horse themed day for the community to get together and experience all things horse related. Countless children and adults took their first horse ride at this event, which also offered food, horse drawn carriage rides, shopping, demonstrations, and more for those in attendance.
In 2021, Leatherman Lane hosted its first breast cancer awareness event and partnered with HerScan to offer onsite breast ultrasounds (more on that below). The Go Jen Go Foundation was the beneficiary of all fundraising efforts with our “Ride Jen Ride” trail ride, online auction and raffles held throughout the day. This amazing event was thrown together in just a few weeks and very quickly, we knew it was something we would need to go bigger on moving forward and commit to hosting yearly!
For 2022, we fulfilled a promise made to the community back in 2015 by bringing Horse Lovers Day back to our expanded equestrian facility (directly across the road from our original facility) and combining it with our breast cancer event to make this a HUGE, family friendly, horse themed, fundraising, day of awesomeness for the community to get together for a great cause and an amazing time! We raised over $6500 for the Go Jen Go Foundation at the 2022 event, and more than doubled that in 2023, raising over $15,000! THANK YOU for being part of this amazing effort to help those in our community, while enjoying horses and friends together!
