United Way Days of Caring - THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS

On September 22nd, Ivy Hill had over 28 volunteers mostly from Univest and Hatfield Quality Meats come and spend the day at our facility as part of the United Way's Days of Caring.



They helped with a variety of tasks including:
~removing sawdust/manure, removing and cleaning stall mats, leveling the stall grit, replacing the mats and adding new sawdust.
~all run outs were cleared of manure
~two stall doors were repaired
~flower beds were weeded and fall mums planted.
~property was weed whacked or mowed.
~indoor ground hog holes were repaired and more grit added.
~white fence at driveway entrance was secured from leaning.
~indoor ramp was supported ~cobwebs were removed from ceilings.
~barn stalls were painted
~round pen was moved as requested
~one stall window repaired.

These volunteers did an amazing amount of work in one day & really helped to make Ivy Hill shine. The barn is so much brighter with the stalls freshly painted. Thank you for help!

4th Annual Golf Outing a Success!!

On September 22nd Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center hosted its 4th Annual Golf Outing at the Indian Valley Country Club, Telford, PA. Under cloudy but warm skies, 28 golfers teed off in a shotgun start. After several hours of great competition the winners were determined. The first place team was comprised of players Mark Smolij, Jim Walker, Kevin Hunt and Dave Shaw Close behind in second place were Bill Shelow, Russ Talone, Fred Dunhour and Janice Dunhour. To add to the excitement Dennis Keating won the men's long drive competition and Janice Dunhour won the women's long drive competition. Bill Donnelly won the closest to the pin competition.

The evening wrapped up with a fantastic dinner and awards ceremony in the Indian Valley Country Club ballroom. Ivy Hill Board members Chris Brockett and Bill Shelow presented awards to the winners and spoke about Ivy Hill's continued growth and benefit to the community which it serves only with the help of friends and donors like those in attendance.

In the end it was a great day for Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center. Ivy Hill would like to thank all of the golfers, sponsors and the friendly staff at Indian Valley Country Club for making our annual golf outing and fundraiser a success!
