A few weeks ago while in New Hope, PA I had the pleasure of meeting, Leigh Robertson who owns an academy in Lambertville, NJ where she teaches Capoeira, a form of martial arts combined with music. Capoeira was developed in Brazil by African slaves to resist oppression 400 years ago. Her description of it intrigued me and prompted me to view the many videos posted on her website http://www.newhopecapoeira.com/live/. I couldn’t help but think how this sport/art form could enhance fitness, balance and strength for equestrians. It could also improve the sense of rhythm which is important for all riders. I can remember my trainer, the late Jean-Claude Racinet, giving me lessons devoted to trying to feel the beat of a correct 3 beat canter vs a 4 beat canter, something I thought was a lot easier than it actually was.

Have a look yourself and contact Leigh if you would like more information. info@newhopecapoeira.com

What a great way to keep fit and have fun (especially during the winter months!)

SHAD FESTIVAL, Lambertville, NJ The 30th Annual Shad Festival will be held this Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May 1, in Lambertville, sister city and just a walk across the Delaware River from New Hope, PA. Begun 30 years ago as a means of attracting visitors to the shops, art galleries and antique stores of this charming river town, Shad Fest highlights our region's substantial arts community, the city of Lambertville, the Delaware River and our favorite local fish - the shad.

Eighty of the region's finest artists and crafters will set up shop for this 2 day event with everything for the casual and serious collector in jewelry, ceramics, furniture, apparel, accessories, home decor and so much more. The famous Shad Fest Food Court will feature everything from burgers and fries to taco salads and fried calamari. Lemonade, cream soda, root beer and sasparilla will also be available to cool your thirst.

Children's activities include Sand Art, Face Painting, and rides!

Live music will be featured both days. Be sure to stop by the First Presbyterian Church 31 N Union Street to see the more than 100 original Shad Fest Posters, created and donated by local artists. The posters will be auctioned off beginning Sunday a3 PM. Proceeds go to scholarships for students pursuing a "collegiate career in the arts."

Stop by the Hearth to Hearth Cookery Booth to learn about colonial cooking methods of cooking shad. Learn how the Lenni Lenape Indians - the region's early resident cooked and preserved Shad too,

Celebrate Spring, the arts and everything that makes our region so special at the Shad Festival, Lambertville, NJ this Saturday and Sunday. I hope to see you there.
