A new competitive trail ride, Ride for the Ribbons, will be held on Oct. 6 at the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park in Blackwell’s Mills, N.J. The ride—a memorial tribute to a special Arabian mare, Taffeta Ribbons—will benefit the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) New Bolton Center.

Ride for the Ribbons, previously known as the Canal 25, was a favorite for “Ribbons” during her three-year endurance career. The bay mare underwent several knee and leg surgeries during her 17-year life, which ended in November with a fractured leg.

“Ribbons was a frequent patient at New Bolton Center and became a staff favorite due to her wonderful personality, perseverance, and will to survive,” said Ribbons’ owner, Jessica Wysocki, of Spider’s Nest Farm in Ringoes, N.J. “The ride will benefit New Bolton Center in her memory, so they can continue to provide outstanding care for all horses, but also to acknowledge everything they did for Ribbons.”

Ride for the Ribbons will offer a 25-mile competitive train ride and a 15-mile conditioning distance ride. Both rides are sanctioned by the Eastern Competitive Trail Ride Association
