6 Experience The Thrill of Eventing Somerset County: Equine Central The Essex Horse Trials is the cornerstone of a strategic plan developed by community leaders and local equestrian organizations, including Far Hills Race Meeting Association, Inc. and Gladstone Equestrian Association (GEA). Their mutual goal is the revitalization and growth of premiere equestrian competitions, events and clinics in the region. Essex Horse Trials & Moorland Farm Perfect Together The Essex Horse Trials will be the first equestrian event, apart from Far Hills Race Meeting, to be held on the beautiful Moorland Farm Estate, 230 pastoral acres at the cross-roads of Somerset, Hunterdon and Morris counties. Far Hills Race Meeting, a world class steeplechase event celebrating its 97th year, attracts over 35,000 spectators to its private race course each fall. Eventing 101 Eventing combines the elegance of Dressage, the thrill of Cross Country, and the precision of Show Jumping. At any level, eventing provides a rare opportunity for spectators of all ages to witness the unique trust and bond between horse and rider. Dressage: Gait, suppleness, and communication are tested through a series of prescribed, intricate movements. Cross Country: Horse and rider maneuver at high speed over a natural course of varied terrain and natural obstacles. Show Jumping: A sequence of obstacles and tight turns are carried out within an arena the final test of stamina, agility and precision. julie@essexhorsetrials.org

9 About Our Beneficiary The Life Camp movement began in 1887, when the original editor of Life Magazine founded the Life Fresh Air Fund to aid underprivileged children by sending them to the country for fresh air and sunshine. The Life Farm in Pottersville was first opened 93 years ago in 1923, and we continue to provide children from Newark with an enriching summer program in the country, something which they would otherwise not be able to experience. Today, LifeCamp provides a summer day camp experience for 300 Newark area youths per day for six weeks during the months of July and August. Campers are between the ages of 6 and 13, and come from the greater Newark public school system, as well as from Newark Charter School Programs (KIPP, Philip s, North Star, Link, Newark Legacy and New Horizon). The LifeCamp campus is located on 90 acres of open fields, rolling hills, woodlands and the Lamington River. The campus is an effective teaching environment that makes learning enjoyable by providing experiential and contextual learning linked to the camp s curriculum. The curriculum provides all campers with the opportunities to gain selfconfidence and a sense of accomplishment as we continue to add and improve challenging and enriching opportunities. The overall LifeCamp program balances the arts, athletics and academic enrichment as well as personal growth and development, and is designed to help Newark s youth become more confident in their abilities, improve their self-esteem, and foster greater autonomy and leadership qualities. julie@essexhorsetrials.org
