The Friends of Horseshoe Bend Park had a beautiful day for our gathering. We woukd like to thank each of you for attending. We had great conversation and lots of laughs. We even got lucky enough to have the newest member of Godwink Farm show his overloaded cuteness just 2 days before. We ended our night with one of the most beautiful sunsets.

We are so proud to have been a sponsor of the Horseshoe Bend Boogie 2025! A huge thank you to Meg Sleeper, the incredible ride manager, for all of her hard work in bringing this event to life.

Endless gratitude to the riders, who gave it their all on the trail, the dedicated volunteers who made everything run smoothly, and the caring veterinarians who kept the horses safe and sound every step of the way.

Events like this remind us why we do what we do, keeping horses happy, healthy, and rideable through their 30s!

Posting for a rider at Horseshoe bend park.

Hi! I rode at horseshoe bend a few days ago and I am looking to recover a ba****ck pad I think I dropped there and lost. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone found it and could return it.

HSBB Riders 👇
Its has been one full week Since the Horseshoe Bend Boogie Endurance Ride! We spent months looking forward to hosting you at this event, which is a major fund raiser for the park. The Friends of Horseshoe Bend Park is a 503(c) charitable organization and all proceeds go back to the park. It keeps the trails beautiful and maintained. We would like to thank everyone for your entry, time and support. The care provided to your horses during the ride is what made this event successful. The heat and humidity always make a challenging ride more difficult. Kudos to each and every one of you 🙌. We received a very large number of "thank you" messages and are thrilled you all had a great time despite the heat.

We now begin looking forward to seeing you all in 2026. Happy trails. Stay safe out there.
