Calendar

Come join us at the Ocmulgee Bluffs for a Monday morning (Veteran’s Day) ride beginning at 10:00 (Ride out time) on Nov 11th.

This area is a beautiful place to ride.  Directions are as follows:

From Forsyth take Highway 83 north east towards Monticello.  Will cross the Ocmulgee River, and a few miles down, will go past the Enon Baptist Church on your left.  Will see a big Ocmulgee Bluffs sign on your right where you turn left onto Smith Mill Rd after seeing the sign.  There is a black horse sign with the words Saddle Horse Club written on it on your left as you turn in.  Road is not in the best of shape and narrow, so take it nice and slow.  After approximately 3 miles, you’ll see the Saddle Horse Campground on your right and on your left, will be the entrance to the Bluffs where you pay $5 and can park.  Any donations to our Chapter will be greatly appreciated.

NOTE:  If coming from Monticello on Highway 83 towards Forsyth heading West, you’ll see the Ocmulgee Bluffs Sign  on your right and as you are turning on Smith Mill Rd, you see the black horse sign with the words Saddle Horse Club written on it.  If you see the Enon Baptist Church on your right, you’ve gone too far.  Probably best to turn around there in the parking lot and head back east towards Monticello where you will see the Ocmulgee Bluffs sign on your right and turn left on Smith Mill Rd.

If you haven’t joined us in a while, please come on out for a good day to ride with some wonderful cowgirls as we remember our Veterans.

New winery in Gainesville!!! So of COURSE that’s where we need our Roundup to be! Its perfect for a bunch of cowgirls. We’ll talk all things equine, have a glass and a bite, and plan some shenanigans.

Hope all can attend this great workshop (Basic Riding Fundamentals) with Haylee Goolsby over at Raise a Glass Ranch in Forsyth GA.  Our very own 40 Something Cowgirl – Wendy Deini-Pruden  – will be hosting and assisting this event.  Workshop will be held on November 16th from 10:00 till 4:00.  Get your deposit in early to reserve your spot! Detailed information will be posted later.

Lets help clean up our beloved trails at Big Mineral on beautiful Lake Texoma. We’ll be working with the Backcountry Horsemen of Texas. We can’t always do a lot by ourselves, but a lot of us can do a little and get a lot done!

Optional Jackpot is a draw and uses one of your runs. Jackpot runs $10.

Hope you can join us on Dec 10th at 10:00 for a beautiful ride over at Charlie Elliott beginning at 10:00.  Trail is such a pretty trail!

A Western Store? For a Roundup? But that’s weird, right? WRONG! Dennard’s Christmas time VIP sale is off the chain! They serve free food and drinks and I don’t mean little appetizers while you shop. I mean beef and chicken with all the sides. One year they grilled up a whole bunch of filet mignon! Last year was briskett and sausage. Whatever they have is gonna be good and then after dinner you can take advantage of the phenomenal sale they have going on. And they just about doubled the tack and clothing sections, recently.

Hope all can join us at Cedar Ridge Ranch in Senoia on Dec 14th, Saturday beginning at 10:00.  It’s a great place to ride with lots of trails.  Cost is $5 and must provide proof of Coggins to enter.

Hope all can join us for a fun and relaxing way to spend a great December morning!

Optional Jackpot is a draw and uses one of your runs. Jackpot runs $10.

Come join us on Dec 17th at 10:00 at Dauset Trails.  After the ride, we’ll head over to the Mexican Restaurant called Mesquite located on the square in Jackson.  Hope you’ll join us as it’s a good place to eat!  There’s plenty of parking available off the square.
