Extreme Trail Ride Benefit

ride October 10 as a benefit to assist Mike Dines and his fight with cancer.

The event starts at 10 a.m. and will run till 3 p.m. Held at the Blackstock

Ranch. The course will have plenty of tests for the horse and rider. Our

spring trail ride is a leisurely 2 hour ride. The difference now, "Bumps"

up the pace to an "Extreme" trail course. The course is short and riders

are individually timed. Challenges will include a donkey, goat, bridge,

water crossings, jumps, cows, deer, and some "on the edge" obstacles.

There will be 2 divisions for Cowboys & Cowgirls. The fun of it is you could

trot the course and be consistent or faster? with refusals and added time

penalties. The best time wins the buckle.

Mike has supported us and the community every year and now its time to

support him. 4-H groups & friends are offering to help and donate. There

will be raffle items. A "Horse shoe" toss along with a "Jackpot" for another

"chance" at the trail! We ask all horse owners and groups to donate the

cost of a horse shoeing or "more" for Mike. There will be games for the 13 &

under division with trophies and ribbons starting at 12 p.m. Lunch will be

available and the kids are always fun to watch. We hope for a great day.

Join us and support a 4-H family. Donations gladly accepted. For more
