Rochester Trail Riders

This episode is a delightful concoction of humor, hardship, and the hidden threads that connect our present to the rich heritage of the city. Tune in for an episode that promises laughter, empathy, and the uncovering of how Rochester's equestrian community is tied to the legacy that shaped its cultural and philanthropic spirit.
