Equestrian History of Long Island in the 19th and 20th Century

Saturday, January 18, 2025 - 1:00 p.m.

Presented by Jerry and Rita Trapani

Jerry and Rita Trapani, lifelong equestrians have created a look at the rich equestrian history on Long Island. Let’s go on a trip back through time and see the racetracks, estates, parks and shows that have made Long Island one of the most important equestrian venues in the world. We’ll also see how many celebrities and Olympic equestrians started right here on our small island. We’ll look at polo and foxhunting and how they have changed over the years. Hop on the time machine and hold on tight.
