Apple Knoll Farm H.T.

Welcome all the Apple Knoll Farm USEA June Horse Trials. Apple Knoll has free range chickens, a heathy population of barn cats, and its own dogs. Please keep your dogs leashed at your trailer if they must visit. We ask that you help us keep AKF a nice place to be by taking your manure and garbage out with you. We are always in need of volunteers. Sign up at EventingVolunteers.com
