Q&A with GRTA President, Leslie Pottow 🐎

How has horseback riding and the trails impacted your life?
Physically, emotionally and spiritually. However overly dramatic this might sound, it is true. Riding has taught to fall gracefully, both literally and metaphorically. I fall, I brush myself off, and I get back on again. Horseback riding, at any age (I didn’t take it up until my late fifties) is a lesson in humility. It is not a matter of if but of when you will fall. Riding has taught me to relinquish control. It requires mutual respect and clear communication between man and horse. The horse can only react to signals; it receives what you send.. I find the sport to be equally invigorating, challenging and enlightening. Easy Kelsey introduced me to the trails several years ago. Venturing beyond the ring is freeing and fun.

Wear your RED, WHITE, AND BLUE and join us for our annual Summer Solstice Ride! Participate in a wide variety of rides, short and easy to longer and quicker. It’s a ride at your own pace morning, so people can ride out as long as they’d like to. There will be jumps in Sabine Field (low and high options). Register via link in bio or thegrta.org.events

We will have a food truck on site and will offer a nice lunch with tablecloth seating, wine etc. for spectators, should you have friends who don’t ride but want to get out and enjoy the camaraderie and atmosphere.

Enjoy a Champagne Station sponsored by Mackenzie and Ryan Brumberg.

We encourage trailers and vans to arrive promptly at 8am to park, enjoy a quick breakfast bite (included for early birds!) and meet and greet. Ride off will begin shortly after 9 am.

We are greatly looking forward to seeing many old friends and meeting new ones!

The closure of Jamaica Bay Riding Academy has left many horses in urgent need of safe placement and proper care. A local farm has stepped forward to provide a home for three of these horses- one of which is blind. The horses are arriving tomorrow and have significant unmet needs. They require veterinary evaluations, vaccinations, farrier care, dental work, nutritional rehabilitation to help them regain their health and thrive in their new environment.

The goal is simple: to give these horses the care, dignity, and second chance they deserve. The cost of rehabilitation is substantial, and we are asking our equestrian community, friends, and animal lovers to help us provide the best possible care. LINK IN BIO ⬆️

Every contribution—large or small—will go directly toward:

Veterinary care and vaccinations

Farrier and dental services

Feed and nutritional support

Rehabilitation and training

Ongoing daily care and boarding expenses

These horses have spent their lives serving riders and bringing joy to countless people. Now it is our turn to help them.
