Wildflower Trail Ride at Table Mountain
Thanks to everyone who has written to tell us what a great time they had on the Wildflower Trail Ride on Saturday, April 21, benefiting Handi-Riders Therapeutic Riding Center. Over 70 equestrians came out to enjoy the ride. The day was perfect. Even the unseasonably hot temperatures were tempered by the breeze. Take a look at the slideshow.
A huge thank you goes out to Pony Rides Inc. at Trails End Ranch.for hosting the event. A big thanks goes out to the Boeger and Leen Families who allowed the ride to take place on their land. Can you imagine owning that piece of property!!
Thanks to Subway Owner Richard Garinger for donating the wonderful lunch! His donation was beyond generous! Thanks to Bill Colvin who brought his Chuck Wagon and served Cowboy Coffee - what a treat! And a special thanks to our trail guides Bob Baylor, Roger Pavlik, Gayle Leland, Steve Roach, Jeff Crawford, Bill Colvin and Skip Oberdorf, and to all the equestrians who came out and participated in the ride. What a great day! I've never seen so many happy faces!
Mark your calendars - the 2nd Annual Wildflower Trail Ride is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 20, 2013. ~ info@handi-riders.org

Volkstock: 3 Days of Aircooled Classics
In 2010, Paul and Laura Vancas, envisioned an event that would combine their love of the classic Volkswagen and the immense love for their special needs Grandsons, Gabriel and Alexander. This vision is what lead them to the creation of VOLKSTOCK.
Volkstock is a three-day charitable event for air-cooled Volkswagen enthusiasts and their families. This year, their beneficiary of choice is Handi-Riders of Northern California.
The Volkstock event will be held on June 22, 23 and 24 at Twain Store and RV Park in the town of Twain, CA. Twain is located in the center of the picturesque Feather River Canyon on Highway 70 in Plumas County. This is a family friendly camping event.
