While Saratoga is described as "the best six weeks of Summer", Saugerties also has a major horse competition and venue as well. HITS, (horses in the sun) is a really big annual event that brings a LOT of visitors here to the Hudson Valley, (Bruce Springsteen even came to watch his daughter compete)! The horses mostly compete in jumping courses with the Catskill Mountains as an awesome background. The venue also has an end of season concert and this year Michael McDonald is playing on September 9th. http://www.hitsshows.com/
I previewed a GREAT horse farm yesterday in Saugerties on TWENTY acres that is PERFECT for anyone looking for property for horses. Here is the property...
I spend as much time as I can in Saratoga during racing season, and this year had an excuse. I have two really great listings in Saratoga!
The first is a motel I have stayed at for years now because it's right on the backstretch and as close to the horse "action" as you can get!
The second is a restored historic building with three store fronts and two 2 bedroom upstairs apartments. It's in Saratoga's "arts district".
This weekend is the "Travers Stakes" and I will be in saratoga all weekend and hopefully not only win big, but sell both of these great properties I've had so much "action" on during this season! "AND they're off"!!
