According to their official website, Leatherman Lane hosts an annual event at Leatherman Lane farm in Concord, North Carolina to commemorate Horse lovers’ day. Only once a year, they open up their exclusively private facility for everyone to visit to show their appreciation for the people’s love for horses.

What’s more, Leatherman Lane Farm organizes a gala event known as the “Ride Jen Ride”, where everyone can participate with their personal horses to ride on an attractive trail on that day. And it’s on October 7th this year. What would happen if a person who doesn’t own a horse wanted to ride? One might ask.
