TRAIL RIDE
RIDERS... shown
here are some of the 32 riders that braved the elements...the photos taken
after the ride and under the cover came out too dark to reproduce, but here
is a list of some of those brave and drenched souls: Jennifer Talavera,
Sandy Cooper, the Robinson's (Devin, Kelly, Hailey), Valie and Jack Horne,
JoAnn Stark, Claire Felton Terry Foster, Marilee Lowe, Stan Bailey, Bill
Bates,
Greg
&
Shawn Ufers, Kimberly Clark, Jennifer Youngren, Tracy Sahagun and many more
who crowded under the shelter and had hot coffee, steak, chicken, chili,
desserts, and all sorts of good things to eat.

Pam
Herron does gate duty while the brave 32 head out on the
trail, led by Ward Brookshier and his
good-looking sidekick.

Angela Dase thinks this
is much more fun than working... |
|

Even the youth got in to the trail riding spirit...they (with riding
helmets and all) went out dry and came back wet
but happy. |

With a smile and a wave Ruth and Jim McVeigh are ready to
go. She and Jim really support this
annual event and not even the rain daunted their spirit...
(except Ruth's hair was a little
"soggy and saggy" at the end of the ride...oops!) |
|
 For those who wondered where Harry Blackburn went, they could have found him at the trail ride! What a pleasant surprise to see
him and he looked great on his gorgeous horse - he survived the wet weather also.
|

Joining the group was some neighboring Clydesdales
masquerading as the new
"full-bodied Arabian-in-disguise trail
horse" - a sensation to say the least! |
|

And the rains came... the friendly furniture mover at
her best (Brigitte Garrett - and soaked to boot!) |

Ron Anderson says it looks like rain, smells like rain,
but Ward promised me no
rain if I showed up... so here I am. |
|

Three wet riders and a dog who says I'm heading for my dog house where
it's dry and warm - my master (trail boss) said it wouldn't' rain so I
left my rain gear at home! |

Like a rider out of the old west!
I came prepared
but my horse is the one
who forgot his rain gear!
|
|

Sloshing up the
driveway it appears, by the smiles on these faces, that none seemed to
mind the rain and had a good time. |

Jim (no rain gear) McVeigh escorts Margaret (poncho)
Haverstock back after a pleasant ride in the rain...

Little Keri Garrett says that next year SHE'S going to go on
the ride with her Mom - none of this sittin' around for me.... |
