FOW's Progress on Warming Shed

By Denise Larrabee December 22, 2011

Volunteers from FOW’s Structures Crew worked a total of 789 hours during the fall, working primarily at Andorra and the warming shed at Valley Green, which burned down in October 2010 due to an electrical fire during a rain storm. Crew leader Mike Souders estimates that the shed will be finished by the Spring of 2012. The Pennsylvania Equine Council and FOW organized the "Ride to Rebuild" in November 2010 that raised over $8,000 toward the estimated construction cost of $20,000. Members from Courtesy Stable in Roxborough, Monastery Stable in Mount Airy, and Northwestern Stable in Chestnut Hill all participated in the fundraising effort, as well as riders from New Jersey, Harrisburg, and York.
