PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:BY STEVEN THOMPSON
What can I say other than wow: The Inauguration ride was a huge success. We had 37 riders and 3 drivers do the full ride and 13 riders do the fun ride. The food was great and the weather was perfect, I hope this is a trend for the new year.
The Spring Fling on March 1st had 30 riders and 3 drivers do the full ride and 14 riders do the fun ride; and the weather held off just some afternoon wind and excellent food. We also had Projections photography at the ride taking pics coming off rattlesnake hill; they got some nice pics of everyone.
I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED AT THESE RIDES: WITHOUT YOU THEY WOULD NOT HAPPEN!; ALSO THANKS TO ALL WHO BRING A DISH TO SHARE, BECAUSE WITH THIS WE HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS,THANKYOU ALL!!!!!!!

SUBMITTED BY WRANGLER RICH: BLONDE RIDER
A blonde decides to try horse back riding, even though she has had no lessons, nor prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion, it gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slide from the saddle. In TERROR she grabs for the horse’s mane but cannot seem to get a firm grip, she tries to throw her arms around the horse’s neck, but slides down the horse’s side anyway.
The horse gallops along seemingly impervious to its slipping rider, finally giving up her final grip the blonde attempts to leap off the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately her foot has become caught in the stirrup, she is now at the mercy of the horse’s pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over, as her head is battered against the ground she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune……
Frank the walmart greeter save the day and unplugs the horse.
And you thought all they did was say hello.
