Lord Stirling Stable Pleasure Drive

– The Friends of Lord Stirling Stable (FLSS) invite horse and driver and spectators to attend the annual Spring Pleasure Drive at Somerset County Park Commission Lord Stirling Stable, 256 South Maple Avenue in Basking Ridge, New Jersey on Sunday, April 17, 2016. Teams will depart between 9:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M.

Carriage drivers will follow a predetermined, well-marked route through the miles of beautiful trails. Drivers have a unique perspective from which to enjoy the landscape as it begins to come alive with spring colors, sights, and sounds. The last team will depart at 11:00 A.M. Time is not a factor in the outcome. A just-for-fun cones course will also be available if weather permits.

Pre-registration for drivers and horses is helpful but not necessary. The entry fee is $40 on the day of the event. If the Pleasure Drive is cancelled due to severe weather, entries will be returned. Registration forms are available in the Stable office and on the Friends’ website, www.flssnj.org. Fee includes coffee and light breakfast items.

Spectators are invited free of charge.

Lord Stirling Stable is situated on 450 acres with 18 miles of trails (wooded and fields), one indoor ring, three outdoor rings, and an outdoor-jumping course.
