We Can Ride Trail Ride Fund Raiser!

I might have to retire my little old digital camera because these photos do not adequately represent the fun we had on the trail ride this past Sunday (and they're a little blurry)! It was a great day for a ride, that's for sure. The sun was out and it was a nice 70F.

Several groups of folks and their horses gathered in the Minnesota Valley Recreation area in Jordan, MN for some food, fun, and riding all in the name of raising money for We Can Ride. I don't know the official count but I think we raised over $1000! We had a variety of horses from cart horses to barrel racers attend the ride. Everyone was welcome and I think everyone had a great time.

Once again this year our very own barn manager, Stephanie, was the top fund raiser! There was also a drawing for door prizes that included saddle blankets, hay bags, and leather halters. Just about every horse from my barn was there, including Tom's newly trained Pintos! Check out the photo of Dick helping Tom get situated before the ride. Stephanie's dad flew up from Colorado to ride with us and we had a pretty good showing for the Thursday Minnetonka volunteers.

If you missed out, you'll have to keep an eye open next year and try to join in. The more the merrier!
