You may register online here, or registration forms are also available online through the AHC website in the Events section, and can be filled out and sent in via email to [email protected] , via regular mail to 1616 H Street NW, 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20006, or via fax to 202-296-1970. The theme for this year's National Issues Forum, sponsored by Luitpold Animal Health, is "Protecting and Promoting the Horse." The issues that the horse industry has faced over the last decade have changed, but there are several consistent challenges that include federal regulatory challenges, attracting newcomers to horses and equine activities, maintaining equine activities that we enjoy, and welfare initiatives to protect our horses. But as with any challenges, they also create opportunities, and this year's Forum will focus on how the industry is dealing with them. Also being highlighted during the Issues Forum will be the AHC's Time to Ride program and its $100,000 Horse Challenge, and the Unwanted Horse Coalition, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary and is planning a special update on its current activities and initiatives over the last decade. This year's National Issues Forum will be held on Tuesday, June 16th, here in Washington, DC during the AHC's annual meeting, which is taking place from June 14th-16th at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. If you have any questions about the meeting itself or registering, please contact Ashley Furst at afurst@ horsecouncil.org or 202-296-4031.

Future Changes on BLM Lands Written by Ken Lair, president of High Desert Trail Riders; Submitted by Elaine Macdonald Ken Lair and Jackie Lindgren attended the Bureau of Land Management /West Mojave Route Network Project (aka WMRNP; or WEMO) public meeting in Yucca Valley on Wednesday, April 15. This Future Lands report is the result of their educated opinion based on review of the BLM literature and presentations. Inquiries or questions can be addressed to Ken by email at [email protected]. This project addresses, in summary, the new proposed routing and access control of public roads and camping facilities on BLM lands, particularly for motorized recreational use. Concern has been voiced by several organizations (e.g., various rock hounding and trail riding groups), expressing fear that many of their familiar and well-used routes and sites may be closed under the draft plan and EIS. The meeting was structured to provide a brief overview of the BLM review process for their Draft Plan and Draft Group photo take on BLM lands Owl Canyon Rainbow Basin. 10 Submitted by Elaine Macdonald Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) regarding the West Mojave Route Network Project. Oral public input was conducted with individual BLM staff and their contractor representatives (who are helping BLM with the review process) after a general presentation. Individual or organizational comments on the proposed BLM route network plan can be submitted in writing, or electronically on the BLM web site. Comments must be received by June 4, 2015. A CD is also available from the BLM, detailing their plans for route networks (including specific maps) under all the EIS alternatives reviewed. This can be requested from their web site at: www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/cdd/west_mojave__wemo. html In summary, the following are what Jackie and I took from the discussion and written handout materials, as we understand it: 1. Under the BLM’s preferred alternative (No. 3), Volume 15, Issue 3 Future Changes on BLM Lands there actually will be an increase in available routes provided for motorized public recreational access. 2. The BLM is closing several routes across the whole Western Mojave Desert area in sensitive wildlife habitat (denoted as DWHM routes). However, other routes to be designated for public use will be opened, resulting in a net increase in total miles of public access available to the public. 3. One of their prime objectives is to contain/curtail public roadside camping outside of designated camping facilities. They plan to accomplish this by narrowing the permissible camping zone adjacent to BLM roadsides to within 100’ of the road centerline in non-DWHM routes, and within 50’ of the road centerline on DWHM routes. 4. Another prime objective is to decommission certain grazing allotments that have been in non-use for several years, devoting that forage to wildlife use. 5. No current access to, or facilities for, horse camping and trail ride staging are planned for closure under the preferred alternative. This was confirmed via specific question to BLM staff and their contractor. 6. The preferred alternative may be subject to requirements in the final, approved version of the DRECP. However, even if modified by the DRECP, BLM still anticipates no closure or moving of horse camping facilities. Submitted by Elaine Macdonald as currently designed would remain as-is, with dedicated staging areas. One thing the BLM did confirm with us personally, in response to our questions, was that they NEED and WANT to hear from horse organizations as to preferred locations of horse camp facilities and horse riding trails on the approved public routes (i.e., maintenance and modification of existing facilities, as well as construction of new facilities). This is our opportunity as a club and a unified voice to provide needed and worthwhile input that may actually improve BLM facilities and routes available to us over time. At present, I am aware of only two horse camping facilities on BLM – Owl Canyon (Rainbow Basin), and Black Canyon (Hole-in-the-Wall). I’m sure that many of you are aware of others that may potentially be used or desired for future use. If you have other candidate BLM sites that you wish maintained or new sites considered for creation, please submit comments to the BLM. Contact points for submission of comments are as follows: [email protected] or mail to: Bureau of Land Management, California Desert District Attn: WMRNP Plan Amendment 22835 Calle San Juan de Los Lagos Moreno Valley, CA 92553 7.

Unlike most cone courses, Driving Derby has a set cone gate dimension that does not change by equine or vehicle size. The course design allows the smaller equines a speedier run through the hazards while the larger distances between cone gates give the advantage to larger horses. The hidden plus of the derby is the ability to hold it in a limited space setting. The average driven dressage court offers enough room for a challenging course. This helps keep venue costs down and can be run with less volunteer staff.

Corral 138 Trail Trial Wrap-up By Kimberly Dwight We had fabulous weather for the Trail Trial April 26! It had been windy all week and actually rained the day before. It just drizzled a little at the arena while we were flagging Saturday afternoon but other places got a down pour. Thank you, Sue S Winthers, Leah Frankenberg and Shonda Shubert for flagging with w me Saturday. We have some wonderful volunteers in our Corral, C and I appreciate you so very much. Diane D Garton judged the first obstacle the rail road tie bridge with the t blue tarp under it. Susan Turner judged the rope gate. Cory Calkins C judged the little ditch. We had to change it at the last minute, m but it worked well. Susan Mustaffa helped Sue Winthers at a the “trim the tree” obstacle. Bobbie De la Fuente judged the tack check with help from her daughter Emilie. Brian Krauz helped t Erin E Seem at the big down and up. Leah and Shonda came back Sunday to judge the S back up. Stacy b O O’Hara had help from her h daughter Heather at a the uphill. Marcy Watton with Pam Thomas were at a fallen Joshua walk ov over. Sharon Boyle and Kelly Naia had a new obstacle: the Pony Express. Riders took a mail bag from a sign saying Tejon Stage and took it to the Butterfield Stage (sign) and then brought back the mail from there. My entry helpers were Nancee Barnett, Judy Slayton, Linda Therrien and sometimes anyone else who was just hanging around. Paul Frisbey was drag rider. r Elaine Macdonald and Debbie Stevens a cooked, served food and c cleaned c up. We W had eight Juniors this t year; I think that’s a record. 30 in novice and 13 open riders. This T year we had a tie for first place in Open. Sorry for the delay, e everyone, while I contemplated how to decide who go the buckle. W Whenever we have a tie, we pick the winner by a predetermined o obstacle number. This worked well with the few other contestants w were tied. But Jean Chadsey and Glori Fioramonte only had ONE who p point. We had picked four obstacles, but this would be a matter of c continually choosing obstacle till we got to the rider with a point at that one obstacle obstacle. Just not fair fair. So I sent my husb husband home for another first place ribbon and buckle which we just happened to have ordered for next time, and everyone was happy. JUNIOR WINNERS Rider 1. Jessica Rose 2.

It never got hot, but if the wind came up it could feel quite cool on the mesa. By Charlotte Brodie I immediately had a challenge greeting me when I arrived at 7am Sunday: there was a car parked blocking the entire access through the front gate. Fortunately, the back gate was accessible. After getting in, I called Keltie for some assistance with the front gate. across the Highlands and up the hill and to the Wildflower Trail. From there, riders went down the Valley of the Dolls trail and Saugus Road to the low rock wall, then onto the Twin Lakes upper roads, and down the switch-back trail to the eucalyptus grove for a grand tour. Then, they went up and around the Chatsworth Trails hill, across the meadow (avoiding the scary bridge), and back through Devils and up to the mesa. Without stopping for the obstacles, it was a two hour ride. I was grateful to have Jerome Ruzicka (broken toe and all), Cindy & Mickey Strauss, and Bill UpdeGraff helping to set things up. Jerome went home and brought back his Jeep and a long chain to move the rock that somewhat blocked the back entrance. He and Bill moved the large rock out of the way so rigs could easily come in the back way until the front was cleared. We thought we’d try something new this year. A friend, Ryan Carpenter, offered to take a movie of our event with his drone. It seemed to be a good idea…getting pictures of our eventers and the open space that will soon be gone. However, it turned out the horses on the ride were not liking the “good idea” with the drone. It got scraped soon after it started, and Ryan just took pictures. Susan Grossman and Diane Brewer arrived next to take over the entry booth duties; Mickey started handling all the poker business and Jerome became busy with his parking duties. I want to make sure that everyone that helped me in any way to make this event a success knows how much I appreciate their time and efforts. Thank you all so very, very much. The trail flaggers, Emily Souza and Ashley Shrader, rode up ready to pick up the bags of flagging to mark the trail. Several competitors remarked that this was the best marked trail trials. After all the paperwork was done, our Trail Trial winners are: When Keltie and her sister later arrived with their horses (they were competing as well), she proceeded to find the car’s owner and have it moved. The Road Kill Café came to feed our workers and competitors. It was run by Patty Hug, Jim Renzie, Patty Munson and Walt Conner. Food was good! Our starter, Babe Coverston, arrived about 8:30 with his wife, Helene, the #1 Tack Check judge ready to take their positions. I took care of making sure all the judges received their score sheets, signs and props before sending them out on the trail: #2 Bill UpdeGraff/Map; #3 Cindy Strauss/Can on Wall; #4 Janice Thompson/Gate; #5 Sharon Ryerson/ Downhill; #6 Sandee Andrews/Stepover; #7 Arianna Bateman/Backup; #8 Lynn Leonard/Uphill; and #9 Barbara Nielson/Dismount-Mount.

Betsy Cole (626) 403-4573 www.eticorral2.org Sunshine, blue skies, and cool breezes greeted the ETI Corral 2 Western Schooling Show held at Rose Bowl Riders on Sunday, April 26. We could not have asked for a lovelier day or for happier riders and spectators. The day began with a beautiful mounted flag ceremony and the playing of the National Anthem. There were Western Pleasure and Equitation classes for various age groups as well as trail classes featuring new obstacles and challenges. Participants included visiting riders from San Dimas and Glendora as well as many of Julie Unamuno’s Arroyo Canyon students, both junior riders and adults. New and longtime Rose Bowl Riders boarders and Corral 2 members also took part, including Gail Young on Megan, Nancy Rose on Sue’s Song, Ann Regan on Jango, and Phyllis Ginter’s new horse Mati (ridden by Julie). The show’s culmination was the costume class, which ended in a tie between a stylish mounted Minnie Mouse, and Thing One and Thing Two (rider and horse respectively, both wearing wigs). The standout performers were unquestionably Eric Stewart and his mule Thumper who placed high in every class they entered and were audience favorites (Eric was overheard to say, “Take that, short ears!” while grinning and brandishing a first-place trophy). There was good riding and good fun, and a fabulous time was had by all – including the organizers, who hope you’ll come to Volume 15, Issue 3 ride or watch at the next Corral 2 show in October!

Congratulations to Walt Coursey, Cherri Monson and Julie Sandona for passing the County’s first re-certification test! Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to set up the arena at Bonelli Park for testing. The judges, who have already been tested themselves, were very patient with us and our horses. More of our members will be attending the next re-certification test. Two of our recruits, Jeanne Martin and Arlene Hamblen, attended the Whittier Narrows Obstacle training in April, which was very useful towards hours for training and for certification, and they also attended Walnut Creek training on May 9, which they stated was very well planned and informative. Darlene McGrady will be attending the Antonovich Ride on May 31 at Ft. Tejon. Marshall Canyon MAU is actively looking for new members.

When one of our riders could not use their horse, Ashlynn offered to share her horse for last two competitions of the season…even though the other rider was in her division and could have cost her points. In her spare time, Ashlynn likes to go on rock collecting trips with her dad, hang out with her mom in Big Bear and play with her younger siblings. Ashlynn rode clean, kept a good attitude and ended up winning it all. We are so proud of her accomplishments. Shadow Hills Rough Riders Pres.

Oak Creek Corral’s 2014 Race for the Saddle Every season Corral 21’s Gymkhana Series hosts the Race for the Saddle where participants in every division have the opportunity to win the golden prize of a beautiful western barrel saddle. Last year our corral had a huge turnout of competitors. With the extra competition, the Race for the Saddle was on. The season was a tight race with several competitors possibly able to win the saddle. This year’s award banquet was the biggest surprise yet. Competitors were happily surprised to receive amazing tack awards to use in future races: beautiful hand painted headstalls, breast collars, bronc halters and pads, were just some of the prizes. Everyone waited on the edge of their seat to see, wondering who won the largest prize of the season. After what seemed like a long story, recanting the year’s event, Tracy Boldroff finally announced that this year we had an exact tie. Not only one, but two competitors won saddles. Ashlynn and Maddie were called to the front to accept their beautiful and well deserved saddles. Ashlynn, happy to have earned such a grand prize. 26 Ashlynn is a young competitor that has won the saddle in the past, so at eleven years old she has earned two ETI saddles. Riding since she was five years old in both Western and English, Ashlynn is a solid rider and great girl. Even though she is driven to win, she never Maddie overcame great odds throughout the season. At the beginning of the season, she came out on her horse Red. Halfway through the season, Red and Maddie were doing some light training, when Red toppled over, on Maddie’s leg, causing her to fracture her leg in three places. Red was unable to finish the season, and we were not sure about Maddie. We had a month break from our series for the ETI National Convention, giving Maddie a little time to heal. In the meantime, another horse, a pretty Paint named Kahlua, was in training. When Maddie was ready to ride again, she considered taking Kahlua on, even though she was young and green. After a lot of work and patience, she and Kahlua did pretty great together…Great enough to win the saddle. When Maddie is not at the ranch, she is probably at the dance studio, working on her archery skills, and getting great grades; she is a very accomplished student. Maddie overcame some huge odds last year, but she stayed strong, kept a great attitude, and came out on top. Congratulations, girls! We know there are many more wonderful seasons under your belt.

I have so many people to thank for helping me put this event together. First of all, Bill and Tina Pollard, who were extremely instrumental in helping me put the service together. Our lovely editor, Mary Timmer, created John’s Memorial Pamphlet. Mary did a splendid job! Mary also put the slide show together along with music from Willie Nelson. Again, Mary did a superb job! Rachel Swain, Kathleen Ungamrung and Tom Smart also helped on the slide show. Longtime friend and colleague of John, Yoshio Muki was the Master of Ceremonies. Yosh was very eloquent in his presentation. Bill Pollard was instrumental in bringing in the Navy Honors Detail who proudly presented me with the flag! I was extremely honored to accept the flag and thinking of all our soldiers who gave their life for our country. My family provided the lovely flowers for the Memorial Table. The Pollards provided the delicious desserts. Rachel Swain made the parking memorial poster. Walt Connor helped set up, serve food along with Tina Pollard and Susie Ellenger provided the coffee. Dwayne Gipson and Craig Tognazzini served the beverages. Thanks again for all your help! You are truly wonderful friends, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. In Remembrance On Monday, April 13, 2015, we lost our secretary of 20 years, Carole Norris. Carole was very dedicated to the Corral. She spent many years as membership secretary and drove all the way from Huntington Beach to attend meetings. Please continue to pray for Carole and her family. Pioneertown 2015 Submitted by Kathleen Ungamrung: 27 Equestrian Trails, Inc. Our first C22 Pioneertown weekend ride was a blast! Guests from Norco, Acton, Leona Valley, Arizona and Minnesota joined us for a weekend of great food and riding. The weekend started out with a fabulous potluck on Friday evening highlighting some delicious dishes like Dutch oven chili (Dan Cotten), succotash (Billie McGuire), flautas deluxe (Lisa Sommerhauser) spaghetti casserole, fruit salad, and of course the staple, KFC! On Saturday, 24 riders rode out onto the Sawtooth Trail where the weather was perfect, and the wildflowers were still in bloom. To top it off, we took a group photo in town that was appropriately photo bombed by Sara and her mule “Jack”…thanks, Sara! The weekend ended with a short ride on Sunday followed up by lunch at Pappy & Harriet’s. While simple details like forgetting to make dinner reservations or squeezing as many people as possible into a 15 person table at dinner (sorry for all of you who could not fit), the weekend was a terrific success that we hope to repeat in the coming years. A special thank you to Paul and Tiff for leading the ride. Vasquez Rocks /John Richardson Memorial Ride: Submitted by Sharon Richardson: What a beautiful day for a ride! I would like to thank all 21 riders who joined us at Vasquez Rocks on Sunday, April 12, 2015. Thank you to our Trail Boss Kimberly Dwight, President of Corral 138, who stepped up at the last minute to lead our ride. I would like to thank Alan Johnson, Captain of the San Fernando Rangers and Cindy Gates who rode drag and made sure we all got back to the staging area and not left on the trail somewhere! Thank goodness the ride was uneventful, and everyone enjoyed the great weather and no horse or mule drama. There were still a few wildflowers and cactus in bloom which made for nice scenery along with the gorgeous natural surroundings. New member Stacy Potruzuski joined Corral 22 at this ride. Welcome, Stacy! After the ride some of us went to Maria Bonita for lunch and met other Corral members who did not ride. 28 Volume 15, Issue 3 Corral 34 La Tuna Canyon Pres.

Vikki Siemons (818) 400-0909 The Smallest Foe By Heather Faucher My seventy-six year old mother recently visited me from the right coast. She’s still a fit, active woman but has lately been feeling a bit of her age with some significant back issues. I was eager to show her my new horses, but I wasn’t sure she would be up for a ride. She surprised me by sitting through a two-hour tour of the spectacular spring wildflowers along the Monte Nido trails aboard my gentle mare, Cloud. Wanting to ride again before going back home, we decided to tackle the lower Backbone. Upcoming Events: June 25-28: ETI National Convention / Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Please see the current ETI magazine for more information. Volunteers are needed for the event! June 27: Inspiration Point Ride / Wrightwood. Portions of this ride take place on the PCT. There are lots of single track trails with moderate to heavy climbing. There is also one bridge crossing and two small water crossings. Your horse should be in shape for this ride. No water is available for horses on the trail. We will stop for a picnic lunch. (See flyer on page 12 of our current newsletter for further information.) July 12: Golf Course Ride / Lake View Terrace: More information will be provided next month. If you would like more information about our Corral or upcoming rides and events, please visit our website www. corral22.com. Happy Trails! Ivy Murillo Vice President, Scribe and Area 6 Director We were enjoying a nice slow walk under the shady trees of the Backbone trail and had reached about the half-way point, with Mom behind me on Cloud, when suddenly and rather violently, Cloud surged forward into my mount, Shanti. The trail at this point was narrow with no room for Cloud to move past, but she seemed intent on climbing over Shanti and me! Mom was screaming “whoa, whoa!!” I stuck out my arm to keep Cloud back, knowing that if she got past me, my Mom would be on the ride of her life! In her frustration at being blocked, Cloud went wide, scraping my Mom off against the prickly branches, and she fell to the rocky ground! Shanti, Cloud and I continued forward for a while until I was able to get control of the horses. Cloud had stepped on and broken her reins, but happily I always have an extra set in my saddle bag and was able to get my mother back on board for the ride home. What on earth had caused this huge kerfuffle? Cloud had a couple of welts on her hind end that told the story - yellow jackets, or ground wasps, the smallest foe! Which reminded me of my own nearly disastrous experience with these little devils. In Maryland, ground wasp season is in the fall, when they become aggressive right before the adults die for 29 the winter. The young will emerge from the nests Equestrian Trails, Inc. underground or in rotten logs in the spring to begin the life cycle again. On one crisp fall day, I was riding with several friends, one of whom was Sally, a tough girl raised at the Pimlico race track exercising horses for the trainers. Sally was normally a very horse-wise woman with no reservations about informing others of their imperfections in all things equestrian. But on this day, she would prove to be the one to make a major mistake, one that would land squarely on my head (and much of my torso.) To borrow a lovely expression from the Tour de France, Sally needed to take a “natural break” a couple of hours into that fall ride, and even though she was riding a small Arabian that couldn’t have been taller than fourteen hands, she insisted on going off the trail to remount from a log. A rotten log. The rest of us were up the trail a bit preparing to cross the river at the deepest and trickiest crossing, called “the rapids.” As the first of our group entered the river, we heard Sally yell Bee “wasps!” in a panicked voice. Before I knew it, a swarm of yellow jackets had chased me down and was stinging me repeatedly, several from inside my shirt! At this point I was belly-deep in the river, with Sally behind me screaming for me to hurry across. I had ripped off my shirt and was flapping it all around me to ward of the attacking bees, which caused Sally to yell “Stop it, you’re going to spook my horse!” I yelled back in pain, “I don’t care!” thinking to myself that she was the idiot that had to go off-trail during wasp season, so she might deserve a swim in the cold water! We all got safely across the river and kept moving quickly away from the wasps’ hive. But soon I noticed that my hands and toes were tingling oddly, I felt very dizzy, and my vision was becoming uncomfortably bright! My blood pressure was dropping dramatically as the venom from what would turn out to be seventeen stings worked its way into my system. I called out that I wanted to get off, but my wise friend Sandy, who was also my doctor, said “Stay on! If you get off we may not be able to get you back on!” She instructed me to tuck in behind her and she would lead me out. Meanwhile, she was on the phone with 911 getting an ambulance to meet us at the closest road. I held on to my horse neck and followed close behind Sandy, and in this way we made it out of the forest. When the paramedics took off my boots, we saw that my hands and feet were blue from the blood being sucked back into my core organs! They hooked me up to an i.v. of Benedryl and steroids and got me to the hospital. I was fine, but puffy for a while, then very itchy for days as the stings ran their course. Somehow none of the horses or other riders were stung! But we all learned the important lesson : Do NOT go off the trail during ground wasp season! 30 [Editor’s note: As we who ride and hike the local trails, always watch out for those bright yellow and black little bee/ wasp monsters. They could just as suddenly make their nest IN the trail, as we personally experienced last season.] Corral 37 Conejo Riders, Thousand Oaks Pres.

Diana Hoch (818) 841-6422 www.corral38eti.com Heads up to all Corral 38 members, ETI’s annual Convention will be in June this year. The Horse Show and Convention is our largest fundraiser of the year and cannot be done without the great members we have to help us. Please go to your Corral meetings and ask for donations of items for the Silent Auction. Please phone ETI headquarters and volunteer some time. The Convention is usually a lot of fun and needs your support. To volunteer, contact the ETI Office at (818) 698-6200 or email ETI at equestriantrails@ outlook.com.

Spread the words with your friends. Make plans to support our September 13 show. News of Griffith Park and its trails. In my May column, I mentioned that there is to be a promised equestrian and hiking trail around the perimeter of the Headworks project. What I failed to mention is that this trail will not be in place until after the second huge tank is completed sometime after 2018, most likely. The plans for the trail are not finalized at this time. There are various ideas for the trail. One idea was for the Army Corp of Engineers to divert a bit of the LA River onto the property to create a stream and ponds. The 134 freeway follows the ancient path of the Pacific flyway, a migration corridor for hundreds of birds. It was thought that if there were some wetlands, it would help restore the flyway to a more vital role for birds. This is only one possible plan. The drought might play a big Volume 15, Issue 3 Corral 57 role in whether a wetlands could be created. ******************* The traditional parking spot for equestrians hauling trailers in to ride is now open again. This is directly across from the Live Steamers and access to the dirt trails in the park. Also, the additional parking spot for visiting trailers is across from Martinez Arena. So there are now two good places to choose from for visitors to the park. ******************* At the north entrance to Tunnel 7, (many people think of it as the first tunnel since it is the first one equestrians ride through after crossing the Mariposa Bridge heading into the Park), there has been a ruptured pipe belonging to Cal Trans. The pipe first broke in March and flooded the entrance to the tunnel. A quick repair was done. However, I got a call from Park Maintenance that Cal Trans will be returning to the spot where the broken pipe was to make a permanent fix. I believe that they are cutting the pipe back away from the mouth of the Tunnel 7 and burying it deeper into the ground where I can’t be broken again. During construction, the north entrance of Tunnel 7 will be closed to through traffic. Riders will be directed to Tunnel 6, in order to access the park trails. Tunnel 6 is reached by turning left upon exiting the bridge onto the posted bridle trail, heading toward the Victory Bridge, riding along the broken paved road to Tunnel 6. You enter the Tunnel way before Victory Bridge. Riders will exit from the Tunnel 6 just east of Travel Town where you can access the trails for riding or hiking. You will have to return in the same way. The repairs shouldn’t take more than a day or so to accomplish. I don’t have a date for this repair work as it will be decided by Cal Trans according to their work schedule. Signage will be posted at the south end of the bridge to advise riders and hikers.

The buckeye trees were in bloom but not as fragrant and bright as they might have been on a sunny day. Only five riders made the ride as this date conflicted with Mule Days and probably a lot of other stuff going on this time of year, but we all had a great time and enjoyed each others’ company. Kudos to Linda Wells and Money for making a comeback for this one. So good to see Linda out on the trail again. for 2015. Enjoy the cool riding weather while we have it folks. It won’t last long.

Irving Blank (661) 268-0098 www.eti86.com 13 riders gathered in Acton for our Mountain trail ride on April 11. It was a perfect Spring day for a ride, and we started out easy for about 15 minutes and then hit the hills hard. “Grunt” hill was the first long, steep hill, and then we did a lot of short ups and downs. All horses and riders did fine, and at the half way point, we voted to add another hill to make the ride longer. Following the ride, we relaxed at the trailers with lunch and drinks provided by our trail boss. Everyone had a great time, met the challenge, and now are official “mountain men and women!” Larry and Sharon Van Loon [email protected] Corral 88 By the time this magazine has been issued, Matt Sheridan will have conducted one of his clinics for ETI members and guests on May 30. This is a great clinic for honing your trail skills and learning about Matt Sheridan’s 5 Steps to Body Control. Matt Sheridan, who is located in nearby Sand Canyon, is an excellent teacher and horseman and the $100 fee for ETI members is definitely reasonable for the amount of time and guidance he will give you. If you don’t make it this year, we’ll ask him to offer it again next year if there is enough interest. On June 9, Carol Hellyer will be leading the Bear Valley Springs Foothill ride. There is a Lower and Upper version of this ride and, if you do not wish to stick around for the more challenging Upper Foothill trail, it is very easy to leave after the lower version and return to the Equestrian Center and mosey around that area, the campground and the trail obstacles. The riders that want to continue on can do so…Each section of Foothill takes only 45 minutes. We can have lunch at the Market Grill after the ride. Contact Carol Hellyer (661-821-0361) to let her know you’re coming and to get a gate pass, if needed. There is a $10.00 Bear Valley Springs tie-up fee for each rider and a BVS waiver must be completed or already on file 32 Tri Community Horsemen Phelan/Pinon Hills/Wrightwood Pres.

This is an ETI National High Point Show as well as our own Corral 118 SVAC show! Full steam ahead! With only a three week break since our May show, this show comes up quick. This is the “tipping point” and marks the exact middle of our 5-show circuit. This could be a crucial event in the points race for SVAC (Simi Valley Awards Circuit) Year-End Awards! Remember, you must be a member of Corral 118 and compete in at least 4 out of our 5 shows this season to be eligible for Year-End Awards! Check our website at www.eti118.org and click on the “SVAC and Points” tab for updates. April’s points are up. The May show points should be posted by press time. Trending We always try to keep our fingers on the collective pulse of our members and exhibitor base. We scrutinize our class list each year and work to stay relevant and challenging. So it’s really interesting to see the shifts taking place in class participation, popularity and age breaks! Larger turnout is trending. For instance, the April show had almost 100 entries, and May’s show was close with about 80! Each one was bigger than any show last year! Saving Time & Money is trending. We are thrilled to see so many exhibitors taking advantage of the Pre-Entry option! Usually we can expect about 50% in pre-entries, but you all seem to be getting the hang of it now! This time, we got 70%! Pre-entering streamlines the whole process. It’s really a win-win for everybody - exhibitors can save a chunk of ca$h, and the show office staff saves time, which is always a good thing! 19 & Over ATR Classes are trending. In the Western riding classes, this age break has grown dramatically. Baby boomers are riding again, and riders who have “aged out” of the junior ranks are still going strong. The mixed E/W Trail seems to be following suit. (In contrast, there are more entries in the English 13 & Under and Open riding classes than the other age breaks.) Walk/Trot Classes are trending. Ahh, could this be that baby boomer demographic again? Partly. The popularity of these Good riding ‘til next time!

Kimberly Dwight (661) 478-2770 www.eti138.com We had fabulous weather for the Trail Trial April 26! It had been windy all week and actually rained the day before. It just drizzled a little at the arena while we were flagging Saturday afternoon but other places got a down pour. It takes a lot of volunteers to put on a Trail Trial; each of the judges had a helper. Obstacles were: rail road tie bridge which is permanently in the obstacle course, the rope gate is permanent, little ditch, “trim the tree”, tack check, big down and up, the back up, uphill, a fallen Joshua walk over and the Pony Express. Riders took a mail bag from a sign saying Tejon Stage and took it to the Butterfield Stage (sign) and then brought back the mail from there. We had eight Juniors this year; I think that’s a record. 30 in novice and 13 open riders. This year we had a tie for first place in Open with only one point each. Fortunately, we figured out how to give each of them a blue ribbon and buckle. Elaine Macdonald led a ride at Saddleback Buttes May 2. June 13 is our Welcome Ride.

HAVE FUN, BE A GOOD SPORT, HAVE FUN, MAKE NEW FRIENDS and HAVE FUN! Volunteers Needed Convention is looking for a few new volunteers. There are many areas where your help would be put to GREAT USE to support ETI. Don’t worry if you think you don’t have enough experience. We offer “on the job training” in many areas – Horse show, Trail Trials, Gymkhana, Driving, Dressage, etc. It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow ETI members from other Corrals and areas and to have a good time doing good for the future of horses and people who have or want to have horses in the future. Some of the areas that need helpers are: Class entries, Arena workers, Gatekeepers, Ring Stewards, Runners for the Office and Arenas, Trail Trial Judges, Trail Trial Entry Booth, Announcers and Assistants, Award and Ribbon Presentation, Security, High-Point Tallying, and More. This is the largest fundraiser for ETI and your volunteering will help support the many goals that ETI has to help maintain trails, preserve horse keeping rights and trail access and promote our Equestrian Lifestyle. A little time will go along way, after all this is your organization too! To volunteer, contact the ETI Office at (818) 698-6200 or email at [email protected]. We are again asking each Corral to donate something for the Jr. Ambassador’s Silent Auction which will take place at Friday’s Chili Cook Off.

Participant’s Name (print): Address: Telephone: ( 2. City: ) State: ETI Member Zip: If Yes, Corral #: Liability Release. In consideration for Equestrian Trials, Inc. (“ETI”) allowing me or my child to voluntarily participate in its activities, and LAEC Incorporated allowing me or my child to participate in events on its grounds, I agree as follows: 3. A. This agreement, waiver and release applies to ETI and to ETI’s affiliated Corrals, committees, employees, predecessors, successors, attorneys, insurers, members and volunteers who are working in the course and scope of their duties on behalf of ETI, including its affiliated Corrals, at the time of occurrence of any act or omission which is later alleged to be a cause or contribution to a claim for injury, damages or death, and also applies to LAEC Incorporated, its agents and employees (collectively “Released Parties”); B. I forever release, hold harmless and indemnify Released Parties from liability for any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, injuries or death to me, my minor children, my horse and my property, and legal liability of every nature, including the negligent acts or omissions of any Released Parties, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, direct or indirect, arising out of participation in the past, present or future ETI activities (including equestrian activities, such as the riding, use of, or being near, horses, whether at an arena, stable or on a trail ride in association with ETI) and I assume all risks of injury or death as set forth in this release; C. I shall not bring any lawsuit, action or proceeding against any Released Parties, even if they engage in negligent conduct; and D. I make this agreement, waiver and release for and on behalf of myself, my spouse, my child and/or ward, heirs, administrators, successors, representatives and assigns. Activity Risk. I understand that some ETI activities take place in isolated or wilderness areas over rough terrain, and/or trails of unknown condition, and others take place on land or in facilities owned and managed by others from whom such land or facilities are borrowed or rented. I understand that the organizers, workers and members involved in ETI activities are not professionals in the horse industry, or in the planning or conducting of trips or camping events, or in other areas of expertise involved in ETI activities. I also understand that horseback riding is a rugged adventure, recreational sport activity. I am aware that there are numerous obvious and non-obvious inherent risks of serious injury or death, or property damage, to me or my horse, which are always present in ETI activities, on or near horses. I understand that pregnant women are specifically advised not to ride horses. I understand that ETI is a nonprofit club of private individuals who have come together to support and enjoy recreationoriented activities. Page 1 of 2 49 Equestrian Trails, Inc. 4. Nature of Horse. I understand that no horse is completely safe, and the Released Parties make no representations or guarantees regarding the safety, training or suitability of any horse. Horses are 5 to 15 times larger, 20 to 40 times more powerful, and 3 to 4 times faster than a human. If I fall from a horse to the ground, it will generally be at a distance of 4 to 6 feet, and the impact will injure me. A horse may divert from its training and act according to its natural survival instincts and may abruptly change directions or speed, trip, slip, fall, stop short, shift its weight, buck, rear, kick, bite, spook, or run from what it perceives to be danger if it is frightened or provoked, or for no reason whatsoever. 5. Conditions of Nature & Locations. I agree that the Released Parties are not responsible for acts, occurrences or elements of nature or a particular location that can injure a person or scare a horse, cause it to trip, fall or react in some other manner. These elements include thunder, lightening, rain, wind, wild and domestic animals, insects, other people and horses, and reptiles which may walk, run, fly near, bite and/or sting a horse or person, irregular footing on groomed or wild land which is subject to constant change according to weather, temperature, natural and man-made objects. The Released Parties have not inspected, and make no representations or warranties concerning the safety or condition of, any trail, camping site, arena and/or other location of ETI events. 6. Helmet Warning. I am aware that protective head gear which meets or exceeds the quality standards of the SEI certified and ASTM standard F1163 equestrian helmet, should be purchased and worn by me and/or my child while riding and being near horses, and the wearing of such helmet may reduce the severity of some head injuries and may prevent my serious injury or death as a result of a fall or other occurrence. If I or my minor child do not wear a helmet, it is because we so choose. I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO THIS TWO-PAGE WAIVER & RELEASE. I FURTHER AGREE THAT NO ORAL STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INDUCEMENTS APART FROM THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO OBTAIN MY CONSENT.

Memories can be wonderful, and I have some great remembrances from last year’s Convention. The 2015 National Convention is scheduled for June 2528. I thought the time is right to reflect, share and perhaps encourage for 2015. For years I have seen the program line up for Convention, the call for volunteers and ultimately, any pictorial keepsakes taken during events. I got my courage up and volunteered last year. Gosh…I was so glad I volunteered, but I was very tired! The thoughts that go through your head run the gamut of…”Do I know enough?” to “Am I dressed appropriately”? Relax…volunteers are valued, and there is no intent to ask you to do something unsafe, or to put you into an unsafe situation. So ask yourself, “What are you interested in?” Perhaps trail obstacles, showing either Western or English, training for showing, maybe driving. Or you just like to be around horse people. Your help may be needed just to monitor gates. What better way to scope out what critical skill sets for success are than to learn from a credentialed judge or from some experienced “old timers”. Jobs and tasking range from gate management to keeping by Helen Ordway, Corral 65 the arena set up consistently for each entrant to lining up entrants, to scribing for the judge and many more jobs, including logistics and communications with the front office. Last year, I scribed for a judge in a few Western categories. Wow, what a day; I was exhausted from learning so much! Yes, I had been a worker for a variety of horse shows, and I had even participated in some. But my day was so full of new knowledge. I want to understand, so I am always asking questions. As I scribed, the judge shared why he scored the way he did, what the entrant did or didn’t do that was important for points (either for or against). I was very impressed at how he encouraged and uplifted younger and newer participants. A few words at the end of a class which might help the entrant understand can be so motivating for the less experienced entrant; sometimes just encouraging good posture and a bright attitude. What a sales job! Yes, I was so pumped up and motivated that I signed up to help in 2015, that same day I worked. The organizing staff, the on-site office and the event workers made the day such a memorable experience. Now keep in mind that on any given day, there could be five or more arenas working at one time; there is a lot happening including those getting ready. I learned the equestrian community is very supportive of each other in a few generalized ways: We are in a major drought! ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR FIRES! THIS SEASON -- When you drive past the Fire Dept Forestry Unit on Las Virgenes Rd. and notice that the warning sign says “HIGH FIRE DANGER”, take special notice!! We are at risk! Our children are at risk! Our animals are at risk! Our homes are at risk! Hell’s Bells! The mountains are DRY. BE PREPARED!! • • • • Judges share and are willing to talk to entrants (at the correct time) You will see all skill levels present (both riders and horses) National Convention is not so scary Entrants are encouraged to continue This is a great opportunity to build self-esteem, receive feedback and a chance to better understand the why and how of equestrian maneuvers. I hope to see you at 2015 ETI National Convention. Get out your copy of “What Do I Do With My Horse In Fire, Flood, and/or Earthquake?” Every inch of this booklet is helpful whether you own a horse or not. If you can’t find your copy, then go to the Equestrian Trails, Inc. national website, www.etinational. com, heading for Disaster aid, and download a copy for yourself and maybe even one for your neighbor, too! 73 Equestrian Trails, Inc.

But to be a part of the National High Point Circuit you must be an ETI member and sign up for your classes. You must sign up by the end of the third show of the season.

Applications for the program may be obtained by calling Debbie Foster at the ETI Office (818) 698-6200 or equestriantrails@outlook. com. The completed forms are due back in the office in May 1st with all fees, sponsors, autobiography and pictures. This is a great way for our youth to represent their Corral and ETI. Participants volunteer their time at several mandatory events as well as many horse shows; trail trials, parades, trail dedications, quarterly dinner meetings and fun events just for the Junior Ambassador Court such as the retreat! Contact Debbie or any of the girls who have participated for more info on the fun activities. 74 Trail Rider Award Program (TRAP) keeps computerized logs on how many hours members are riding. In this day and age, when trails are giving way to housing developments, it is crucial that records be kept on trail usage. ETI Corrals in all areas are finding themselves having to defend their riding areas more and more against encroaching civilization. On several occasions, TRAP records have been instrumental in maintaining trail access. ETI TRAP acknowledges hours in the saddle with shoulder patches & pins that can be attached almost anywhere. The fee to join TRAP is only $12.00 (you must maintain current ETI membership); then the TRAP membership is maintained each year for only $6.00. You will start by receiving the TRAP main shoulder patch and your log sheets. As you achieve the hour goals additional patches will be sent to you. Carol Elliott is the TRAP chair. Please contact (760) 963-8209 or happy2appy@ yahoo.com. Trail Trials: An ETI Sanctioned Trail Trial consists of a trail ride, usually averaging between two and three hours, with trail obstacles along the way. Obstacles are natural, or simulate naturally occurring conditions for the horse and rider to negotiate. We now have a DVD from a clinic demonstrating obstacles and tips to compete or put on a Trail Trial. It is important to remember that the people doing the judging at sanctioned Trail Trial event are volunteers following the rulebook and are doing thwe best they can. Safety, control, and common sense are the number one priorities for all ETI sanctioned Trail Trials. Trail Trials are open to ETI members and Non-members. There are three divisions: Juniors for youth 14 years (as of Jan. 1st) and under; Novice and Open. Please contact the ETI office at (818) 698-6200 [email protected].
