October 2004 Update - Part 2
Oakland Equestrian Coalition
Update
October 20, 2004
l. Equestrian Opportunities in Oakland County†brochure is already in its third printing and
hopefully you have picked one up at one of the county parks or State Recreation Areas. They
will also be available at trail events and at the Novi Horse Spectacular, November 12-14.
2. Camp Has-O-Rec in Rose Township has been cleaned up and secured thanks to 26 equestrian
volunteers who worked hard from 5:30 –8:30 p.m., August 10, 11, 12, 2004. Thanks to all
those volunteers who did so much dirty work. We have no guarantee that we will get
equestrian usage there, but we showed our willingness to work so that we are included in the
Headwaters Trails. Thanks again.
3. Our presentation was presented on July 15th to the Oakland County Board of Township
Supervisors. This had led to invitations to present at Milford Township. That presentation
will be on Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 7:30 p.m. in the Civic Center, behind the Post
Office. We don’t know the exact place on the agenda, but I will send the specific time when I
get it. I would like for Milford equestrians to show up and show their interest. The greenway
that will connect Milford, Highland and White Lake Townships should be in the planning stage
very soon. We will also be giving our presentation in Holly Township and Groveland Township
in the near future. A presentation was also planned for the Michigan Horse Council at their
regular monthly meeting on October 5, 2004.
I have also attached a copy of the list of our accomplishments so far. It appears that Oakland County Parks is finally on board for equestrians.
