Saddle Sore Riders CLUB

President's Letter

Howdy Saddle Sore Riders,

Hope this note finds you kickin’ back and enjoyin’ the sunshine—because summer is officially here!

Before y’all get too far into vacation mode, let me ask: Have you marked your calendar for September 27 yet? That’s the date of our Saddle Sore Riders 40th Anniversary Celebration—and trust me, you don’t wanna miss this one! The planning committee’s already locked in the venue, lined up the food, and booked some top-notch entertainment. It’s gonna be a rootin’-tootin’ good time.

We’re gonna keep postin’ reminders on Facebook and sendin’ out emails, because there’s always someone who says, “Nobody told me!” after it’s too late. So do me a solid—after you read this, call, text, or email two friends who are current or former Saddle Sore members and make sure they know. With your help, this party will be legendary.

Now, let’s talk rides. That heat snuck up on us faster than a runaway colt, but there’s still some terrific rides on the horizon—Walnut Creek, Santiago Oaks, and the always-famous Fallbrook ride. Head over to www.saddlesoreriders.org to check the calendar for all the dates and details.

As temps climb, remember to take care of yourselves and your four-legged partners:

· Keep plenty of fresh water on hand for your horses,

· Make sure your trailers are well ventilated, and

· Don’t forget sunscreen and long sleeves to keep you safe out there.

Summer’s for saddle time, campfires, and making memories. Hope y’all enjoy every minute of it.

I’ll leave you with one of my favorite cowboy sayings: “Never approach a horse from the rear, a bull from the front, or a fool from any direction.” – Source unknown, but wise nonetheless.

’Til I see you on the trail—may God bless the road you ride.

With dusty boots and warm wishes, 

Don
