Islip Horsemen's Association
Welcome All To.....
Founded in 1970, The Islip Horsemen's Association is open to all horsemen and
horsewomen and their families, not just residents of Islip township. The
intent of this club is to be involved in community affairs that may effect
horse ownership, to educate horse owners and horse lovers, to sponsor horse
shows, and just have fun!
Monthly meetings which are open to all are held on the fourth tuesday of each
month. Each month we try to have a guest speaker on horse related topics. Our
great monthly newsletter, IHA NEWS, contains articles, letters, artwork and
information on upcoming events and meetings.
The club has its own drill team called "The Spirit of Long Island Mounted
Drill Team", which performs for the public several times a year and are the
public relations team for our club. There are also many parades on Long
Island that our club is invited to ride in. The club also schedules and
organizes special events, clinics , trips, parties and our November Awards
Dinner Dance.
Anyone who would like to be put on our mailing list for English Western, Dressage or
Gymkhana shows or who would like to become a member can email us or fill out a membership form and mail it to us.
Come back often!

Dear Members of the Suffolk County Equestrian Task Force and all other interested parties:
Legislator Robert Calarco is pleased to announce that he has recently introduced Introductory Resolution 1059,
which would change the Suffolk County Farmland Preservation Program so that its criteria for inclusion mirror the
New York State Agricultural Assessment Program. Newsday recently wrote an article describing the move

The legislation amends Suffolk County code to allow the County to acquire development rights to commercial equine operations
and is consistent with the recommendation made by the Task Force last year to "Update Existing Governmental Preservation Programs."
If you have questions, let our office know.
Please help us ensure this important legislation passes and consider speaking in its favor at the Public Hearing on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at the Riverhead County Center, County Road 51 in Riverhead.
Thank you.
