Couple of notes — For Your Information type thing — at Lake Louisa, the
area beyond the bridge is now off limits — they are putting in a regular
camping area with cabins and a major road, I hope this does not mean that
horses are out forever — I would not bet on getting back in. The other
is that due to a large crowd (100+) camping recently at Lake Panasoffkee,
there will be no more group permits, which means if we plan a camping
trip there, each person must apply for his own permit. You must have a
permit to camp, the permit is free, must apply at least 10 days before
the camping date.

Scheduled rides:
Fri. - Sun. 26th - 28th — camping at Lake Panasoffkee (near Wildwood)
Please contact . Richard Jones if you plan to camp so he can be sure to
give the club's permit to someone going in case he does not go. If you
plan to arrive after sunset, you will need to get the combination number
to open the lock from Richard. (In case you missed reading the
information about the place, read the note on the back of the map).

For the dates of 3/13 or 14, 3/20 or 21 — if anyone would like to ride

This month's TIP: When putting up a tie-out rope, use an old
girth around the tree to protect it from rope burn.

Here it is - more borrowed humor ----
Mule Ad Says - Very Athletic
It really means --- Able to buck off a 250+ pound man at
least 10 yards.

You know you are a horse person when ....
.... You know more about equine nutrition than human
nutrition and it shows.
.... You have more pictures if your horse in your office
than you have of your family. .

'Til later -- see you on the trails ,
Happy Trails
