But soon it was Martin’s turn to be nurtured and his boo-boo cured by nurse Louise Tabbiner.

Alex Pacheco) Robin Hood Foundation to Host LemonAid Project at Bridgehampton Today R obin Hood invites families to “take a stand” against poverty through Lemonaid. Every summer Robin Hood donors and their families set up lemonaid stands in their communities and send the proceeds to Robin Hood to fund the best poverty fighting organizations in New York City. Lemonaid is a fun, creative way to introduce philanthropy to children and encourage the act of giving. Last year, kids raised more than $100,000 to provide education, housing, food and job training for New Yorkers in need! Robin Hood holds steadfast to a single mission: fight poverty in New York City. We find, fund and create programs and schools that generate measurable results for families in New York’s poorest neighborhoods. We work closely with the 200 organizations we support to help them reach capacity and maximize outcomes. A rigorous system of metrics and third-party evaluation of these groups guarantee accountability. The board pays all administrative, fundraising and evaluation costs, so 100 percent of donations goes directly to organizations helping New Yorkers in need to build better lives.

Jessica Walsh, Expo Co-Founder said “We are proud that Belmont Park has offered us the rare opportunity to host demonstrations in the center of the raceway. We have invited a variety of riders to perform, from Olympic level to pony club and will be hosting an exciting match of polo. Not only will these events have a large audience at the Park, they will be shown on the Race TV Broadcast System to approximately 3 million people. In addition to the broadcasted Infield events, portions of Belmont’s historic grounds have been reserved for exhibitors and special tents will feature fabulous ecofriendly to equestrian lifestyle products. Walsh said visitors can view different breeds in hundred stalls under one tent. The Expo will also have a special tent specifically for families with a young equestrian. Demonstrations and workshops will be held throughout the two-day event. Located between Manhattan and the Hamptons, Belmont Park is easily accessible to thousands of equestrian enthusiasts. Vendors can reserve 10 x 10 booths, as well as larger exterior spaces. Lazarus noted that various sponsorship packages are also available.

The action started with the Leadline, then the Walk/ Trot group. In the Canter/ Gallop group there was record numbers this year, and three strong teams played a round robin. In the Rock and Roll Group there were several talented youngsters who looked ready to move on to the 20 goal the next day! The players came from all over, as there were local Californians and children who had come from Florida and Argentina along with their high goal playing parents. Roper Kiesner, a youngster who travels with his family to rodeos, was in town for the weekend and thanks to a generous horse loan from Audi, was able to play as well. The ponies being played varied from furry Shetlands to Harrison Azzaro’s mount, which I think he borrowed out of his dad Mike’s high goal string. The MVP of the World Gym tournament was Phillipe Bercellino, and the BPP was Joaquin Avendano’s horse “Pink Panther.” On Saturday, the Linfoot Memorial saw kids swarming the field, as there were 37 participants! Most of the participants of the World Gym tournament returned for more polo action, and several players from Poway came up to join in the fun. MVP (leadline)- Riley Jordan, MVP (walk/trot)- Mackenzie Weisz, MVP (canter/ gallop)- Roper Kiesner, MVP (rock and roll)- Gonzalo Weisz and Phillipe Bercellino.
