Saddle Sore Riders CLUB

President's Letter

Dear Saddle Sore Riders,

As February comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past month. For the most part, it was a relatively calm month, but we did get to experience something unique and a first for our club. We had the opportunity to team up with Cowboys For Christ to host their "For the Love of God" ride. Their chaplain, Bruce Smith, approached us about collaborating on this event, and I thought it would be a great way to expand our brand while promoting a truly worthy organization.

One of our dual members, Kym Adams, served as the trail boss, and MayLynn Motley, Mike McCarthy, Mitch Graves, and I took on the role of outriders. Thirty riders had the chance to explore the beautiful trails of Norco. Upon returning, we were treated to an outstanding barbecue hosted by Cowboys For Christ, followed by an excellent message from Chaplain Bruce and an exciting game of Bible bingo. Everyone had a fantastic time, and this is certainly an event we will be looking forward to doing again.

Looking ahead, Horseweek is fast approaching, and as always, Saddle Sore Riders considers it a privilege to take part in supporting several of the events. We could use everyone's help, and if you're interested in lending a hand, here’s how you can get involved:

· If you'd like to help with the Quarter Dip, reach out to Pam Witham.

· If you'd like to assist with rodeo parking, contact Danny Gonzalez or MayLynn Motley.

· For Adult Fun Night assistance, get in touch with Cindy Cameron.

· If you’d like to be part of the famous Poker Ride, reach out to Tammy Kapec.

Each of these members will be representing Saddle Sore for their respective events. You don’t need a horse to participate, so if you’re available, we’d love to have you join in. Many hands make for light work, and it’s always a great time!

I look forward to seeing many of you at one of our upcoming meetings or one of the exciting rides we have planned for March. Since March brings St. Patrick’s Day, I’ll leave you with this fun little saying: If I don’t find a pot of gold, I’ll settle for a pot of coffee!

May God bless the trails you ride.

Don
