Prayers for rain found the skies taking on<br />
a more traditional part in January. At long<br />
last the thirsty ground is beginning to recover,<br />
but it can take several years. This is “the high<br />
desert” (as it used to be known by the folks toward<br />
the coast).<br />
Check your trailers and your gear if you<br />
store it in your trailer. Unwanted surprises<br />
can be found in a variety of colors including<br />
grays, black, green, etc. The spores never truly<br />
go away, but they lie in wait until conditions<br />
are ripe and then attack your gear.<br />
Benefit Ride<br />
<strong>February</strong> 18, gather up your gear and dust<br />
off your saddle (this year take a look underneath<br />
as well), then head to San Miguel and<br />
the Work Ranch for fun and new friends.<br />
Amid the green hills and friendly folks a<br />
Second Annual Benefit Trail Ride for Partners<br />
in Equestrian Therapy a treat awaits<br />
you. Becoming part of the history of the<br />
Work Family Guest on their working ranch<br />
while helping others. A commitment to<br />
sustainable ranch practices and family life<br />
is shared with those who like to ride their<br />
horses and help others. Don’t miss this<br />
opportunity to help and to share with others.<br />
The Work Family is one of our historic<br />
treasures.<br />
A delicious BBQ lunch will await participants.<br />
The cost is $75 which gives you<br />
a poker hand and access to a terrific silent<br />
auction. There will be some games and activities.<br />
Might as well have some fun while<br />
you are helping others. JP Robertson will<br />
provide the music.<br />
Take home a limited commemorative<br />
tote as a souvenir. For those 12 and up the<br />
moderate terrain ride will be fine, but it is<br />
not suitable for green horses or riders. The<br />
rain date is set for 2/19. If there is a lot<br />
of rain or the trails are not conducive to a<br />
ride, expect the ride will be canceled. Nonriders<br />
are welcome to attend. Sign up at<br />

fun (by 2/15).<br />
