It’s all about spring cleaning, so clear out your excess tack, blankets, riding clothes, horse-related jewelry, models or knick-knacks and donate them to a good cause.
Mane Stream at 83 Old Turnpike, Oldwick, will hold a sale April 7. It helps support the organization’s mission to improve the quality of life for individuals with physical, developmental, emotional and medical challenges through a diverse program of equine-assisted activities, therapy and educational initiatives.
Proceeds of the sale, which runs from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., benefit Mane Stream’s horses and equine-assisted programs including “Take the Reins” for Veterans and “Horses for Healing” for those living with, recovering from and coming back after cancer.
Those with items to donate can drop them off during regular office hours. Questions? Contact Holland Kochanski at holland@manestreamnj.org, 908-439-9636 or visit Mane Stream’s website at www.ManeStreamNJ.org.
On April 8, Mane Stream will have an open house from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. offering tours of the facility, see the in-house therapy clinic, take a peek in the barn and pet the horses and ponies. Parents can speak with trained therapists (occupational, physical, and speech-language pathologist) and PATH International Registered Instructors, camp director, volunteers and participants.
Children will have the opportunity to participate in a sampling of activities and crafts planned for our 2018 Summer Day Camp, while parents can learn more about the camp schedule of eight week-long sessions. No prior experience with horses is necessary. Anyone attending who registers for camp at the open house will receive a $25 discount.
