There will be a day of learning Saturday, July 12 in Pittstown, N.J., to honor the legacy of Debbie Haimowitz and launch the Debbie Haimowitz Horsemanship Foundation (DHHF).
Debbie, who died last year, was someone always willing to help who had a true commitment to classical training and horse care.
Debbie Haimowitz was happiest around horses and those who loved them.
The Foundation will support emerging equestrians ages 18-25, giving them an opportunity for an educational experience that will include horse care and training.
Saturday’s program, which runs from 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., includes a training session with Olympic show jumping double medalist Chris Kappler, questions and answers with veterinarian Dr. Brendan Furlong, information on shipping safety with Kevin and Patty Hennessey of Nobody’s Business Farm and a presentation by Chris on setting courses. Lunch is being provided by Sergeantsville Grain and Feed, and Purina also is a sponsor of the day.
The session will be held at Chris Kappler Inc, 731 Route 579. A donation of $50 is requested via Zelle or at the event. Space is limited, so those who want to attend should text 845-893-2364 by noon on Friday July 11.
Those who cannot attend the program may make a donation by Venmo or Zelle via Jonnagaston@gmail.com. Checks also can be mailed to the Debbie Haimowitz Foundation c/o Jonna Gaston, 20 Stillwater Dr., Slate Hill, N.Y. 10973.
