Adults will enjoy exploring the offerings at the annual Silent Auction, which benefits the Lord Stirling School Horse Retirement Fund, another FLSS initiative. Themed gift baskets, specialty items, and gift certificates for local businesses will vie for bidders’ attention. The FLSS gift shop will offer unique items for purchase

 

In conjunction with the festivities, guests are invited to enjoy the Winter Holiday Horse Shows that provide Lord Stirling students the opportunity to showcase the horsemanship skills they have learned in class.  Horse shows begin at 9:00AM each day.  The Junior Drill Team performs on Saturday and the Adult Drill Team is featured on Sunday during the lunch break. 

 

Spectators may enjoy the shows from the climate controlled viewing area. The horse shows are made possible in part by the sponsorship of Marcello’s II Restaurant & Pizzeria located at 260 Main Avenue in Stirling, NJ.  Admission and parking are free.
