Thank You Yard Salers!

Yesterday's Christmas in July Book and Yard Sale drew a wonderful crowd! Thank you to all who came to shop. Congrats to those who found treasures they had been seeking for some time. (We love to watch visitors faces when that happens, and to hear the stories behind what makes that treasure so special!)

Very special gratitude to all who donated tack, books and sale items of every imaginable type. Residents of Spotsylvania, Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia and surrounding areas are unquestionably some of the most generous on the East Coast. TREES received sale goodies ranging from brand new or barely used items to well loved and impeccably cared for vintage treasures. Without you, the sale would have been far less successful. Funds raised will go toward dental exams for all of our vintage horses, to include treatment where needed.

In anticipation of future sale events, TREES will happily accept yard sale items, tack, stable supplies and books at any time during the year.

Thank you again to all who participated. We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
