Saturday, September 26 was the Kansas Horse Council Region 2 trail ride at Randolph State Park, coordinated by Pattie Stalder.

The event drew 32 riders on a warm and sunny Saturday!

Guest Speakers over the lunch hour included Olivia Huddleston of Kansas Trails Council, Luc Valentin, a dedicated trail steward, Diana Skinner with Back Country Horsemen of KS (accompanied by Sheila Watkins-BCHKS) and Todd Lovin, the Tuttle Creek Parks Manager.

Trails there are technical and Ozark like, which provided a nice challenge to the riders. Age of riders was 6 years on up to 70+. The overarching goal of this Region 2 event was to

encourage support of the park trails, maybe develop a chapter of BCHA-KS folks or a Friends group to help steward and maintain the park trail system as there is not currently a group in place (just a few individuals) for future continuation of maintenance and improvements.
