Hello Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying our beautiful weather! It looks like we might even get some rain. As I said in
our last newsletter we will be going to Morro Bay for August 24 - September 1. Thanks again to Jim
Renze, Patty Hug, Craig and Cindy Tognazzini and John Richardson who were able to obtain
reservations!
Tina Pollard our C22 Historian completed C22’s history!! What a job! Thanks Tina! In a few months
we’ll start putting pictures in the history write up. So if you have a favorite picture or two send it to
Tina!
The Vasquez Rocks Ride is on April 13th. This is a beautiful scenic ride. Afterwards, we’ll shuttle over
to Maria Bonitas for lunch. For non-riders meet us around 12:00PM for lunch. Arrive an hour early and
shop at Bullwinkel's antique store across the street. I’m sure you will find some treasures you can’t
live without! Tell them C22 sent you!!!
Don’t forget your cameras!!
The ETI Jim Hester Ride April 26-28 will be held at Black Rock Canyon at Joshua Tree. Susan Jackson
says, “the trails there are great!” The reason ETI is not going back to Pioneer Town is that it got too
costly with the change of ownership.
Our new member Lori Morris who is the Director of Hope Ranch Animal Rescue will be leading a ride
out of Malibu May 18th. This is a new ride in a new location. So lets show Lori our support an join her.
Be sure and let her know if you will be attending her ride.
The ETI Spring Ride June 9 -14 will be at Cuyamaca.
Don’t cancel the Inspiration Point Ride just yet!! Our VP, Kathleen Ungamrung may lead it. Susan
Jackson is not available this year to Trail Boss the ride. If you’ve ever followed Susan, you know she
always leads a great ride! The Inspiration Point / Wrightwood Ride is scheduled for June 21.
Happy Trails,
Sharon

2014 Cheri Blue Ride
Our February ride was The 8th Annual Cheri Blue Ride . Cheri was a longtime member of Corral 22, a wonderful horsewoman
and a dear friend to many. Twenty-five riders set off from Rose Bowl Riders located in the Lower Hahamonga Watershed Park in
Pasadena for a three hour ride. The weather was perfect - clear and sunny but not too hot. We rode the Flint Canyon Trail which
takes you along the Arroyo, through the beautiful residential areas of La Canada, onto Cherry Canyon Trail, up to Liz's Loop and
stopped at Ultimate Destination for a toast to Cheri Blue and Liz Blackwelder. When we returned to RBR, thirty guests enjoyed a
tasty brunch of scrambled eggs, omelets, bacon, sausage, potatoes, various fruit and pastries, orange juice and coffee. Our 50/50
drawing was won by member Antoinette Dohmen. Many thanks to Lea Tanasale for setting up the clubhouse and receiving the
catered food and quite a few 22er's that helped Kat and I clean-up the clubhouse. I was trail boss and my partner in crime,
Kathleen Ungamrung, was drag rider. We would like to extend a special thanks to Rose Bowl Riders for donating the use of their
facility for this event every year. Cheri was also a RBR member and would have been thrilled that we honored her memory there.

Wildwood Ride
We gathered at the Santa Rosa Park Equestrian area, which has a very large dirt parking area with lots of room for the trailers, clean
bathrooms and direct access to our trailhead. The recent storm had cleared out a lot of dust, leaving great footing and filling the
numerous water crossings with fresh water that the horses enjoyed.
A total of 17 riders headed out, including several non- members who are thinking of joining our group. We rode for several miles
through easy dirt trails, crossing the river several times and many riders noted how nice the crossing were, with good footing, green
grass along the banks and beautiful trees for shade.
The trail started uphill and proved to be a good workout for the mounts before we got to a resting place by some houses and allowed
the horses to rest a few minutes before continuing to the next hill, which was steeper. We kept a steady pace and were soon rewarded
with a cool breeze and a panoramic view of Thousand Oaks.
Our horses quickly recovered from the climb and we proceeded down through a housing area and across a road, then worked our way
down a gentle descent through scrub oaks for several miles down into another valley, following the river to the waterfall where we
stopped for a minute to let some of the riders walk over to see. There were groups of hikers along the way and several mountain bikers,
all of whom were very friendly and considerate- a real pleasure to share trails with such nice people!
About 5 minutes from the falls was a large, shady picnic area, complete with hitching posts, barbecues, picnic tables and even
bathrooms with flushing toilets and fresh water faucets- pretty fancy for the middle of the woods! Everyone enjoyed the company (and
the amenities), then we mounted up for the last leg of the ride, which was only 45 minutes before reaching home base.
We quickly passed by the rather noisy water treatment plant and walked for about ¼ mile along an access road then picked up our old
trail back. All the equines and humans had a lot of fun and enjoyed gorgeous weather and great company. Thanks to Paul Jacques for
leading the ride and to everyone who participated!

2014 DAY AT THE RACES
As with previous Santa Anita events, this year’s “Day at the Races” was incredibly fun for all 37 attendees,
many of whom repeatedly come back each year. In previous years, we have always taken advantage of their
buffet menu but this time we mixed it up. Instead, we sampled the set course menu, which actually turned
out to be much better! As usual, folks wandered throughout the park visiting the infield’s BBQ contest or
the horse stalls and the club house. Others took advantage of the private betting and helped their friends
learn the system! All in all – it was another wildly successful afternoon and we look forward to doing it
again in 2015.
