Saddle Sore Riders CLUB

We are a pure riding club. 

We want to: "Get the backyard horse out of the backyard!"


President's Letter

Hello Saddle Sore Riders,

Hard to believe September flew by in the blink of an eye! Fall is officially upon us, and we’re ready to embrace the cooler weather and beautiful riding days ahead.

Last month, we had two outstanding events that really showcased the heart and spirit of our club. We kicked off September with the Norco Labor Day Parade, and what a fantastic turnout it was! A big thank you to Jeanne Kelly for organizing this fun ride. We did an incredible job representing the Saddle Sore Riders in the community—and let’s not forget, we were the only group with a hawk on our float! A special thank you to everyone who helped make the Labor Day Parade a success.

Later in the month, Mike and Mitch came in to pinch-hit, and they knocked it out of the park! When we had to change our ride plans, they pulled together an amazing OPA (Orange Park Acres) ride. Eleven of us had the chance to experience a fabulous journey through the canyons and hills of OPA, and it’s definitely a ride we’ll want to do again in the future.

Remember, Saddle Sore Riders is your club. The only way we continue to grow and improve is through your involvement. And, as I’ve said many times, you don’t need to own a horse to be part of this wonderful group!

One great way to get more involved is by stepping up as a standing chairperson, board member, or officer. Nominations for these positions will take place during our October and November general meetings, with elections at the November meeting. Come on out and be part of the process—it’s a great way to contribute and make a difference.

Speaking of making us look good, a big shout-out to Rona Meyers for running our fabulous General Store. She does an outstanding job keeping it stocked with fresh gear, and she brings it to every meeting so you can keep your Saddle Sore Rider wardrobe up to date. Next time you see Rona, give her a big high five and thank her for all her hard work.

I’ll leave you with this thought: “Every person can make a difference, and every person should try.” — John F. Kennedy.

See you on the trail!

Don
