The Lord Stirling Stables are one of the jewels of the Somerset County Park System. I was as frustrated as many others to learn of the secret sales of our horses to private farms, without any public discussion or input. This doesn’t lessen our commitment to the Stables and the benefits they provide for the community.
We need to find new sources of revenue, such as the potential retail sale of composted horse manure, that allow us to maintain Lord Stirling as an oasis for so many residents of Somerset County, including those with special needs. Here children and adults alike can learn about the environment and caring for animals and experience new and exciting opportunities for exercise and joy.
Somerset County’s parks are special because they are so diverse, and provide so many opportunities for education, peaceful enjoyment, and healthy living. We have to continue to protect our park resources, and ensure they are available for generations to come.
