Lord Stirling Stable to Donate 330 Food Items

Riders had the opportunity to make Thanksgiving a little brighter for Somerset County residents in need during the “Stuff the Turkey” Hunter Pace presented by The Lord Stirling Stable, 256 South Maple Avenue, in Basking Ridge.

A Hunter Pace is an event for horse and rider in which teams of two to three competitors follow a well-marked course that is 6 to 8 miles in length. There are usually more than 30 fences, up to 3’ in height.

Participants were asked to bring non-perishable food items for donation to the Somerset County Food Bank. Among the nearly 330 items that were generously contributed were canned vegetables and fruit, mashed potatoes, stuffing mix, gravy, pasta, breakfast items, sauces, soup, and much more.
