SIRE RIDE-A-THON Who: You and all your friends who love to trail ride, carriage drive, support a good cause, eat barbeque, and watch a free Michael Richardson horse training demonstration sponsored by Purina Mills What: A ride and drive trail ride benefiting SIRE-Houston's Therapeutic Equestrian Center and its clients of all ages with disabilities. Where: 7IL Ranch, Cat Spring, Texas. Go to this link for more details and location/map (www.7ILTrails.com <http://www.7iltrails.com/> ) When: Saturday, October 16 How: Fill out the entry form in the SIRE Ride-A-Thon brochure in this attached link (www.SIRE-HTEC.org <http://www.sire-htec.org/> ) or call to have a brochure/entry form mailed to you Trails: 6 to 12.5 miles of riding trail. Carriage trails are approximately 5-10 miles. There is no paved road driving; all trails will be through the 2100 acre ranch. Minis to drafts and all long ears are welcome. Trails consist of grass, sand, small amount of gravel track with grassy area at sides, rolling terrain, trees and woods, and a few shallow water crossings. This would be a great opportunity for a final conditioning drive for the upcoming Oklahoma Cowboy Country CDE. You are especially invited to join the Erin Denmark Carriage Driving Team. You can support this client team by donations, participating in the ride/drive, or being an underwriter. If you have friends who prefer to ride astride, please bring them along-they can join the Carriage Driving Team from horseback, too. Erin is a young lady with mental, physical, and medical disabilities who has been participating in the SIRE program for over 12 years. Erin is a member of the Houston Area Carriage Association and the Brazos Valley Driving and Riding Club. She wants our support for carriage driving as a sport so that she and other clients with disabilities might continue to learn to drive at SIRE. As a client she must compete to be able to participate in the Ride-A-Thon by gathering the most team members and donations. So, come join the fun, and support a good cause at the same time. THE ERIN DENMARK CARRIAGE DRIVING TEAM MUST RECEIVE ALL ENTRIES, UNDERWRITERS, AND DONATIONS BY MONDAY, OCTOBER 4TH to be eligible to qualify for prizes/awards. Come share in the award we hope to win! Client teams have a different deadline from that stated in the brochure. This date is a day before the deadline so that everything may be put on the Carriage Team list and turned in on time by October 5th. All checks should be made to SIRE. If you require a donation receipt, please indicate. There is no additional cost to join Erin's team; just put "Erin Denmark" on the line for "Team member of ____" on the registration form. But, any additional donation will help! If you join the team, you can still drive when and with whomever you wish. Let's all win the trophy for the biggest team to show how fantastic and popular carriage driving is! If you can't attend, please know that donations are also very important, greatly appreciated, and tax deductible. Thanks for your support and happy carriage driving. Please let us know if you require any additional information.
