Easy Riders Saddle Club
The Easy Riders Saddle Club is sponsored by the E-Club. We have been very busy this year. Our activities have included fifteen trail rides, in such places as Cooper Lake
Clinton, AR, Edgewood, Athens, Royce City, Bismark, AR, and Caddo Grasslands in Telephone, TX. Our club meetings and clinics have included a visit from a horse chiropractor (the horses LOVED it), a visit from Dr. Arnold (a well-known veterinarian from Terrell), who discussed treating equine trail emergencies, we toured a fairy-tale castle in Rockwall and acquainted ourselves with the beautiful Fresian breed, participated in a carriage driving clinic and learned about the beautiful Haflinger breed. We also hosted a tack sale open to the public where we traded our used tack (saddles, etc.) to our friends and neighbors for their used tack.
We held two horsemanship clinics with a local trainer for our members. This included topics such as lunging, mounting, loading your horse, side pass, and a trip down the trail where we put what we had learned into practice.
So what’s coming up? We have a meeting each month, usually on the 3rd Tuesday. We’re having several trail rides during November since the weather is so beautiful. Our next trail ride will be Nov 8th, and we’ll planning on going to Lake Ray Roberts in Pilot Point, TX. So if you like horses, and want to meet other horse people and also learn lots of interesting horse info, give us a try. You’re welcome to come visit us at our next meeting on Nov 18th, 4:45 in the Round-up Room (southwest corner of Rec Hall). See y’all down the road!!!
