from Standardbred Retirement Foundation

Millstone, NJ — The Driving Clinic, being taught by Susan and Adam Skipper from Get Go Farm is an introduction to driving and is great for beginners. The clinic is being held on Sunday, November 9, at the SRF Adoption Center at Walnridge Farm at 42 Arneytown-Hornerstown Rd., Cream Ridge, NJ from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m., prior to the Meet & Greet which follows from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m.

The clinic is FREE thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who hopes to bring the joy of driving to all, followed by a future SRF adoption.

Please bring a chair for your comfort if needed.

Both events are weather-permitting.

We are currently anticipating a larger than expected crowd for the Driving Clinic and for better preparation, parking, and other necessities, are requesting that you RSVP by email with the number attending by emailing officeaa@srfmail.com

It is recommended that you download either parts of or the full driving manual, The 4-H Driving Manual, developed and written by the Pacific Northwest (PNW) 4-H Driving Publication Committee to help you at the clinic to identify driving bits, lines, harness, etc. The manual can be downloaded at

There will be numerous boards set up in order to get acquainted with bits, harness, lines, whips and more, and questions will be taken at the end of the instruction.

There will be light refreshments available for sale to help support the horses of SRF.

All the horses used for the clinic are SRF’s and are available for adoption. Standardbreds make ideal driving horses and can switch back and forth to the saddle, or even a sled at any time. The Meet and Greet following will have the horses under saddle demonstrating their riding talent.
