Hello Trail Riders:
On behalf of the Valley Lodge Trail Ride Assoc., I would like to wish all of you a happy and prosperous new year! I hope your holiday season was enjoyable and that you were able to spend time with family and friends. We are making preparations for the 53rd Valley Lodge Trail Ride. Our trail ride is the 3rd oldest of the sanctioned trail rides and therefore is rich in history with the HLSR. Our thanks go out to all the past Trail Bosses and Assistants that have put in time and effort to make this the best among all the rides. So when you see one of these folks, thank them for all their efforts to get this Trail Ride down the road.
We want everyone to have fun and be safe on this ride so please be careful in your activities. Watch out for your fellow riders and be courte-ous. We have a number of new riders this year so if you ride up beside someone you don't know, introduce yourself and welcome them.
I would like to mention one change from the past several years. We will no longer furnish oats or grain. Not everyone feeds the same type so we will furnish hay only during the main ride.
Whether you have ridden with us before or not, please make sure to thoroughly read the newsletter. Pay particular attention to the rules and regulations as they are set by the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. As part of our participation agreement, the VLTRA and ALL of its members are required to adhere to them to ensure a "Safe and Fun" ride.
With regard to volunteers, if you are not riding a horse or in a wagon and wish to help, please contact me or our secretary. We may need some drivers that can move equipment.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, Feb. 18th so that you can come and be a part of the fun and tradition that is the VALLEY LODGE TRAIL RIDE!
Happy Trails!
Randy Pharr
