The Rich Equestrian History of Long Island in the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Let’s go on a trip back through time and see the racetracks, estates, parks, and shows that have made Long Island one of the most important equestrian venues in the world, as Jerry and Rita Trapani will present “A Look Back at The Rich Equestrian History of Long Island in the 19th and 20th Centuries.” Jerry & Rita are the owners of Shadbelly Farm  as well as members of the Carriage Association of America, Inc., American Driving Society Inc., the Four in Hand Club, and they are founding members of the 40-year-old Paumanok Driving Club of Long Island. Also involved with the carriage and coaching aspects of The Long Island Museum at Stony Brook, as well as active volunteers and supporters of the Friends of Connetquot the Trapanis will most certainly have a wealth of knowledge to share.

This meeting is open to the public at no charge. Refreshments will be served. Masks are optional at the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Library as part of COVID-19 safety regulations. Learn more at: https://www.bayshorehistoricalsociety.org/programs-news
