This year’s TTA Membership Meeting brought together long-standing and new TTA members to celebrate the start of the trail riding season and to hear the latest news from the TTA Board members.
The meeting commenced by expressing gratitude to departing board members Louise Sargent and Joy Custer. Fortunately, they won’t be leaving the TTA all together as they both will still stay active in supporting the TTA and of course will continue to ride our beautiful trails!

Tewksbury Horse Community
Tewksbury Township has rightfully earned the label “equestrian township”. In addition to the TTA, there are many other horseback riding organizations active. We all work closely together to create the best environment for all kind of riders and their horses, both from Tewksbury and from neighboring towns.
At this year’s meeting, we were happy to welcome the Essex Fox Hounds to speak at our meeting. Lynn Jones and Ruth Beesch gave an update on the Essex Fox Hounds organization and invited all TTA members to join their Social Roading at the start of the season The purpose of social roading is to get the hounds and the horses acquainted again.
