Adult Enrichment Fall 2025

What to do with your Minnesota race horse in the long winter months? Why not give them exercise, have them earn their keep, and have a bit of fun at the same time? From 1888-1929 winter circuit racing schedules existed in the Twin Cities from December to March. Learn who were the owners, the drivers and the horses skimming swiftly across the frozen ice of city lakes. 

This class is priced on a sliding fee scale. Please pay the price you are able. This helps to ensure that Community Education can provide quality opportunities for all of our participants.
