FUN BATH “ROOTS”

In my younger years, I enjoyed the equestrian activities at the former Firestone Estate, a part of which is now the Bath Nature Preserve. I was a member the Bath Pony Club, went to summer camp at Camp Christopher and attended Greenberry Riding Center, now the Bath North Fork Preserve. I continue this legacy today in Bath by helping organize the Annual Bath Barn Social and volunteering at the BVS-Bath Pony Club Horse Show.
