Charlie Horse OPRC, COCHRANVILLE, PA
The Charlie Horse Riding Club formed in 2004 and grew rapidly from 8 members to 25+. We have a lot of fun while learning about riding and horse topics. Some of our meeting topics have included making horse treats, foxhunting, nutrition, breeding, yoga for riding, camping with equines, pasture management, as well as numerous lectures/discussions with vets, farriers, chiropractors, etc. We have held dressage clinics, jumping clinics and have a Games day every year. We tailgate at a polo match every summer, and many of our meetings include a field trip to interesting locations.
Our objective is to create a non-competitive atmosphere with informational and fun activities. Our emphasis is on education and improving riding ability in a safe and supportive environment. Mounted events are geared toward enjoyment and safety.
Our membership dues are $35 for the 2017 calendar year. We welcome new members, including non-riding members at a rate of $20 (usually spouses). Please contact one of the officers below if you are interested in joining.
Our current 2013 roster of officers is as follows:
- Peggy Bell Cole - President 610-869-2337
- Dawn McCuen - Vice President 610-869-0746
- Bootsie Pannell - Treasurer 610-869-2863
- Sue Geiger - Membership Chairperson 610-869-0384
