Newer Horse Camp
'Caballo Loco' - Lake Del Valle, East Bay Regional Park District

Shelly Miller, Del Valle Park Superintendent, states that the first phase of construction for the new horse camp- Camp 'Caballo Loco' - is complete! Shelly and her staff have graded the site, installed water lines, new tables and BBQ's, a community fire pit plus concrete footings for chemical toilets. All done in about 30 days with no budget! Thank you, Shelly and the East Bay Regional Parks District! Eventually the camp will include showers, phone, electrical connections, and maybe even a shed for a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. These improvements will depend greatly on funds available.
 

Dick Quigley, leader of the Livermore
 Tri-Valley Trail Blazers, is enthusiastically promoting the new Camp Caballo Loco camp. Dick writes that the Trail Blazers recently held a campout and fundraiser that attracted 120 horses and riders. His group then bought 25 trees to provide future shaded sites within the area. The Trail Blazers invite other horse clubs to help East Bay Regional Parks continue to develop the horse camp.

Trails in Gold Country

. HORSE PROPERTIES FOR SALE Chabot, Tilden and Briones Regional Parks. Riders rode as many days as they were able, and at their own pace in small groups. The volunteers were fabulous, the trails beautiful, the food scrumptious, the weather perfect, the invited astronomers who showed us Mars and stars quite professional, the esprit-de-corps contagious and the fund-raising surprisingly successful. Due to the generosity of a number of the ride participants, and a few non-riders as well, $5,000 was raised to promote the Bay Area Ridge Trail. And with the amazing offer of Bay Area Barns and Trails to double the donation, $10,000 in total will be donated to the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council. Ride co-coordinators Martha Mikesell, Eric Schroeder, Judy Etheridge and Morris Older were ably assisted by a total of thirty-five volunteers including members of the Metropolitan Horsemen's Association and the Moraga Horsemen's Association as well as TWHA members, with an assist from Bob Power of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. This was the second year that the TWHA has sponsored this ride. The enthusiasm demonstrated by riders and volunteers alike bodes well for next year.   HORSE CAMPING INFO - CENTRAL CALIF ELDORADO FOREST Order our trails reference guide containing over 1,000 addresses of where to write for horse trails and horse camping information across the nation. www.TwoHorseEnterprises.com MORE INFORMATION: Backcountry Horsemen at www.bchc.com Blue Ribbon Coalition at www.sharetrails.org California State Horsemen at www.californiastatehorsemen.com Animal Rescue www.theanimalrescuesite.com Endurance Riding resource website www.Endurance.net Horse Camping Information http://www.horseandmuletrails.com/Ca.htm Weed Free Feed regulations information www.weedfreefeed.com Western State Trail Foundation & Tevis at www.foothill.net/tevis POST YOUR Riding Club HERE Free e-mail services to: mgriff@buyhorseproperties.com
