"It is with deep respect and love that
I rode in memory of my friend
Lorraine - on the same horse she
rode and with her name on the
bridle ribbon. For Lorraine, for the
too many women like her, for our
sisters, mothers, daughters and
friends, and for all those forever
changed by their loss, we must find
a cure for breast cancer."
Ronnie Green, rider, 2007 & 2008

Komen Connecticut Ride for the Cure
Sunday, October 3
Tyrone Farm, Pomfret, CT
This year we have set a goal of involving 150 riders in raising $150,000! Our annual Ride meanders through northeastern Connecticut's "Quiet Corner," a place of gentle hills, endless fields, and colonial architecture - a place where life is slowed and where you can have the time to appreciate the simple things.
Hidden in these hills, a private cross-country equestrian course has been opened exclusively for this Ride by our host, Tyrone Farm. The course leads you through farms, forests and beautiful country estates and will provide a relaxed trail ride and fences for the jumping enthusiast.
The Ride for the Cure has raised more than $507,000 to date to support Connecticut women. Come ride with us this October and make an impact!
