The Somerset County Park Commission Lord Stirling Stable,
located at 256 South Maple Avenue in Basking Ridge, New Jersey has graciously
accepted two generous gifts that will benefit both horses and riders at the
Stable.
The Somerset County Park Foundation donated $58,000 to fund
needed new pasture fencing and two new barn units that will house six horses.
The Friends of Lord Stirling Stable donated $25.000 to replace
the old footing in the indoor arena with professional grade and absorbent
footing that offers a more cushioning experience for the horses. This footing should last at least ten years
at the facility.
The Somerset County Park Foundation is a 501(c)(3) created to
preserve, support, and promote Somerset County Park Commission programs,
facilities, and open space through advocacy and fundraising. Over
the past 10 years, the Foundation has supported the Somerset County Park
Commission by granting one million dollars in projects.
The
Friends of Lord Stirling Stable is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to
promote, support, and supplement the educational and recreational programs of
Lord Stirling Park Riding Stable, which is part of the Somerset County Park
Commission, as well as to educate the
general public as to the benefits and facilities available at Lord Stirling
Park Riding Stable and the Somerset County Park Commission.
