The
torrential rains canceled the HCTDA Spring trail ride on Saturday, May
31. Rain flooded the fields at Natural Valley Ranch up to the horses’
knees. The roads were covered with rushing water and the trails were
impassable. But a huge crowd on September 27, 2008 is expected to help
make up for the washed out spring ride. Many of the trail riders rolled
their registration over for the fall ride.
