After a few false starts, spring has actually sprung! Now it’s the hurry up and wait game for forest roads to open—can’t wait to get in the mountains! Merrill Springs Rd (Long Barn) usually opens with trout season, which is the last Saturday in April. Fingers crossed!

Our spring Top Hand ride is Saturday, April 20th. The flowers at Peoria are spectacular! Top hand wins a buckle!

It’s Spring! We had a few nice riding days and then bam! The door closed and we are back to a week of rain starting Wednesday. At least the hills will be greener longer. I spent the last weekend at Back Country Horsemen’s Rendezvous at Diamond Bar in Ceres. I know a lot of our members are also member of BCH Mid-Valley…

No letter this month, because Linda has her toes in the sand down in Mexico.

Well, the year is just about over. It’s been a roller coaster for some, and smooth sailing for others.

Wherever you might fall, here’s to 2024!

Happy November!
It’s almost Thanksgiving—how did that happen? Hope y’all have your wood stacked and ready to go and the leaves raked because winter will be upon us before we know it!

We’ve got a few great events coming up that should be fun for everybody.

October at last!
I look forward to this month every year.
I rode to Camp Lake recently and the colors were amazing.
The days are warm and the evenings are cool. Perfect riding weather!
Two big things coming up! The Christmas Dinner and installation of 2024 officers and board members is December 15.

September already!
August went by quickly and we were blessed with awesome weather. There has been enough rain to keep the dust off the trails and flowers blooming, and not too hot day after day.

We’ve passed the middle of August, and summer is making its last stand—with lightning and thundershowers, kids ready to go back to school, Tuolumne Rd North opening, days getting shorter, and the High Ride behind us. Time to relax and enjoy!

I’d like to start off this month’s Prez Sez with spreading sunshine to Sandee Watts. She is a strong, determined woman, and an inspiration to all. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Twain Hart Horsemen’s participation in the Motherlode parade was followed by a celebratory lunch, including a cake marking the 75th Anniversary of Twain Hart Horsemen….
