    Attention horse lovers of all ages. Valley Riding invites you to
    come to Rocky River Stables in Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River
    Reservation on Sunday, August 5 from ll:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a
    full, fun, family day of horse activities.



    Come early so you will not miss the festival parade at 11:30
    a.m. led by Cleveland Metroparks Mounted Rangers and at 11:45 a.m.
    the Northern Ohio Outlaws will make their first appearance and
    demonstrate mounted cowboy shooting, one of the nation's
    fastest-growing and most exciting equestrian sports. 
    Throughout the afternoon, there will be a variety of riding
    demonstrations, drill team performances, pony rides, stick horse
    races, games, raffle prizes, barnyard bingo, food and
    refreshments. 



    The festival gives Valley Riding's therapeutic students an
    opportunity to show off their riding skills and it is Valley
    Riding's opportunity to introduce the horses and ponies and riding
    programs to the surrounding communities.



    Valley Riding is a non-profit affiliate of Cleveland Metroparks,
    providing quality English horseback riding instruction and
    equine-assisted activities to children and adults and enhancing
    awareness and appreciation of horses in a metropolitan
    setting. 



    All proceeds of the event support Valley Riding's Therapeutic
    Riding Program for special needs children and adults.  Pony
    rides are offered for $5.  Children must be 3 years or
    older.  There is a l60 pound weight limit for older
    children. 



    Parking is available on the stables' front lawn starting at 11
    a.m.  There is a $5 parking charge.



    Rocky River Stables is located at 19901 Puritas Avenue in Rocky
    River Reservation, at the bottom of Puritas Road hill in Cleveland,
    across from Mastick Woods Golf Course.
