Level one campers, having concluded a four-day hands-on camp will drive the HHYF’s stable of Trottingbreds in the exhibitions which will start from the mobile starting gate at the Goshen Historic Track on Main Street. Leadership campers wrap up their six-day event by serving as judges, charters, photo finish operators and announcers.

“Our camps are designed to give youth hands-on experience in all facets of harness racing,” says HHYF Executive Director Ellen Taylor. “Goshen has been a regular stop for both our level one and leadership camps and opening up this event to the public is our way of giving back to the community, which has been so supportive of our mission.”

The Harness Horse Youth Foundation is a charitable 501(c)3 organization dedicated to providing young people and their families educational opportunities with harness horses, in order to foster the next generation of participants and fans. The Foundation has been making a difference in young people’s lives since 1976, and its programs include interactive learning experiences with these versatile animals, scholarship programs, and creation and distribution of educational materials.
