Lunar New Year Hike

Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 11:00am

Horse energy is fast energy, and this is a Fire Horse — the fastest of the five Horse Chinese zodiac signs. The energy of 2026 is fast, forward-moving and full of breakthroughs. This is a year where opportunities open suddenly, where your confidence rises and your path becomes clearer. The Horse year pushes you to trust your instincts and take bold steps. Technology moves fast, innovation moves fast, and opportunities come and go at lightning speed. If you have a goal or destination in mind in 2026, you can get there very quickly.

Come celebrate the New Year with a brisk hike in the Preserve, followed with traditional New Year snacks while we enjoy a presentation on our Long Island Equestrian History!

Jerry and Rita Trapani will present A Look Back at The Rich Equestrian History of Long Island in the 19th and 20th centuries. Jerry and Rita Trapani are life members of the Carriage Association of America, Inc., American Driving Society Inc., the Four in Hand Club, and are founding members of the 40-year-old Paumanok Driving Club of Long Island.

Jerry is a retired farrier and Rita is a retired art teacher and artist. They have shown their horses in many disciplines and bring a lifetime of knowledge and love of history. Let’s take a trip back in time together!

This program is free to members of the Friends of Connetquot. Become a member today and enjoy this and other events.
