Stable Accepts Gererous Gifts

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.
