There are few things more graceful than a horse and rider moving as one as they seamlessly complete a well-appointed jumping course. Place it in a bucolic setting like Phoenix Horse Farm in Patterson, NY and the experience is breathtaking. Thanks to our friends and neighbors Peter Connor and Debbie McCarthy Connor of Phoenix Horse Farm and Spencer Lampert and Diane Garnick Lampert of Freedom Hill Farm and Rescue, Green Chimneys had a front row seat to five days of exciting horse jumping!

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

For the second year, Green Chimneys had the honor of being the charity of choice for the annual 2018 Phoenix Horse Farm Classic Horse Show at Freedom Hill Farm. A “boutique style,” one-ring jumper competition, the Phoenix Horse Farm Classic is a wonderful event that celebrates horses, riders and owners.

“Phoenix Horse Farm and Freedom Hill Farm share Green Chimneys’ admiration and respect for horses,” states Kristin Dionne, Green Chimneys Director of Development. “We are so fortunate to have wonderful neighbors to include us in such an exclusive event.”

Great partners — from near and far — enrich our organization.

Gyrfalcon

Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
