It is hard to believe that another year has literally sped by. I guess time really does fly when
you're having fun. And we at NEECA really ARE having a blast! 2009 was filled with a
number of events sponsored by NEECA that our members could participate in, having fun
with their horses, enjoying the companionship of other NEECA members, and often availing
themselves of the opportunity to increase their "horse smarts" through a number of
educational clinics we offered.
We are very pleased to be able to say that NEECA now has a beautiful 240' X 100' arena in
which we can hold events, or members and other organization can rent for their use. A 100'
X 200' warm-up area was completed this year, along with our first primary trail loop that
travels out to the beautiful Davenport Pond and back. We are currently working on installing
a pump in the well so that on-site water will be available. Combine all that with plenty of
parking and a convenient drive off of Route 2, and you can see how the NEECA facility is
starting to shape up to be a "go to" destination for horse lovers of all disciplines.
We have a number of events already scheduled for 2010. Please be sure to check out the
Calendar of Events page for updated dates/locations/contact persons, and save those
dates!!
