Feel like horsing around? Saturday is Day of the Horse in Woodside.
Trot on down and learn about the horse’s heritage and legacy in shaping the character of San Mateo County. This is a great way to introduce children to the magic of horses and give your horse-crazy family and friends a place to learn about the possibilities of riding lessons and other activities.
Attend the Blessing of the Horse at the Mounted Patrol Grounds at 9:45 a.m., 2:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. At the Horse Fair at Woodside Town Hall from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. you can watch a blacksmith at work, visit the equine petting zoo, decorate horse cookies, bob for apples or get your photo taken on a pony. Wells Fargo Stage Coach Rides leave from Woodside Town Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
A progressive trail ride will be going on all day around Woodside, so keep your eyes open for riders, a number of whom will be in outfits appropriate to the breed of their horse. The theme of the ride is "James Bond 007” and that might bring out a few surprising costumes. Woodside Town Hall is located at 2955 Woodside Road. The Mounted Patrol Grounds are located at 521 Kings Mountain Road. For more information visit www.whoa94062.org
