MARTHA'S VINEYARD HORSE COUNCIL
MEETINGS
Monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 6:00 PM at the Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Hall, 35 Panhandle Rd, West Tisbury.
The Holiday season is upon us and the winter weather has just begun. Time to take some fun trail rides and relax a bit if you can.
Before you know it you will be busy shopping, baking and eating and then the New Year arrives!
​
The Lyme Disease & Parasites lecture with Dr. Lockwood was very interesting and helpful. For those of you who attended it confirmed what we knew and gave us a bit more information. I was impressed by our members cutting edge knowledge of the topics and their concern for their horses. Dr. Lockwood sent slides from the presentation which have been posted to this website.
​
In the New Year we hope to present a Disaster Preparedness lecture. Climate change is already creating new issues & challenges. We all need to start to plan for these new issues. We would welcome any information that you may have which is relevant to the topic. Please email me with any ideas. julie@flandersrealestate.net

Happy Thanksgiving! Julie
