The Ladies Horse Society Now on Facebook
Randi Thompson states, “The
Ladies Horse Society ™, is an interna-
tional social organization for horse
women. Co- founder, Paddy Down-
ing-Nygard and myself were discuss-
ing what we could do that would be
fun for women to do together. We
decided to focus on women’s horse-
back riding vaca-
tions that included
social activities
such as wine tast-
ing and good food.
Once the logo
was finished we
started the Ladies
Horse Society FB
page at https://
www.facebook.
com/ladieshorse-
society and a FB
Group/Communi-
ty at https://www.
facebook.com/
groups/ladieshors-
esociety.
Thompson con-
tinues, “That was
when we discov-
ered that the Ladies
Horse Society had
an even greater
purpose. We were
bringing horsewomen together from
all over the world! Many of our
members are professional horsewom-
en, others either own horses or have
come to a point in their lives where
they are not able to ride, yet they still
want to be around horses and horse
people.“ The Ladies Horse Society is
what they have been looking for.”
Downing states, “I have been a “R”
Hunter/Jumper/Equitation Judge for
most of my life. I love what I do, but
have been looking for other ways to
enjoy the horses and horse people in
my life. This was a new way of think-
ing for me and I am excited to be a
part of what is happening with the
Ladies Horse Society. The response
has been amazing and we are looking the original focus, women’s horse
vacations. Our first event will be in
the spring of 2019 at Camp Hobbit
Hill in the beautiful mountains near
Asheville NC. We can take what we
are doing anywhere with the Ladies
Horse Society anywhere in the world
and we have already had inquiries
forward to meeting more horsewom-
en from everywhere.”
Thompson adds, “It has been
fun to watch what is happening as
our community of horse women
continue to network and support
each other’s dreams in the horse
world. The Ladies Horse Society
will continue to build a community
of horsewomen through Facebook
and will also be moving forward with from different locations the US, the
UK and Africa.”
