All manner of equines, from miniature ponies to huge draft horses, will be on display at the MV Horse Council’s spring open house on Saturday, May 16, at Tracey Olsen’s Woodbe Farm, 628 State Road, West Tisbury, next door to Fiddlehead grocery. The event is from noon to 3 p.m.

This is the third year for this event, which showcases the many horse professionals on the Island. Representatives from barns large and small will be on hand to offer information about different riding disciplines, lessons, summer camps and volunteer opportunities. Anyone with spare tack for sale is encouraged to bring their own table. There will also be free pony rides and a tack swap where riders can sell or barter used apparel and equipment.

The horse council is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping riding affordable and accessible to Islanders. The council hosts four horse shows through the summer and fall.
