WATERLOO HORSEMAN’S ASSOC.

Happy Spring Waterloo! Glad to see everyone out riding or getting ready too. I have had the good fortune to be out multiple times this past month, and I am excited about many more opportunities in the coming months. Now that the warmer months have taken root in our riding community, I am hoping to provide some additional detail to the first group of upcoming rides.

As per the norm, the first ride of the year is our annual Green Lake Ride. The ride will take place on May 6, 2023. We will start off at the Waterloo Equestrian Campground on Loveland Rd. Check in for the ride begins from 8AM to 10AM. All riders must be paid members with a signed waiver on file to attend this ride. The cost of the ride is $25 and is due by May 1st. This is a once a year ride that follows nonequestrian to The Green Lake campground in neighboring Jackson County Once arriving at Green Lake, you will be treated to lunch (please bring your own beverage), raffle, live entertainment, and we’ll have a photographer

Because of safety concerns, we have pushed this ride back a week to avoid any conflict with an event the cyclists have planned in a different area of the park. Furthermore, please take note that a large group of hikers will hold an event that will take place on part of the horse trails during the Green Lake ride this year Please remember, all events hosted by WHA are subject to being changed or cancelled.

Following the Green Lake event is our Memorial Day weekend. The event will take place on Saturday of the holiday weekend. This event is open to all equestrians. Memorial Weekend will host a poker ride, a raffle, and a lunch or dinner. We will sell Waterloo apparel throughout the day on Saturday. The event will take place on May 27th and will be at the Waterloo Equestrian Campground.

Coming in June will be the Annual Ride to Survive, sponsored by Jackson Western Horseman Club. While this isn’t hosted by WHA, it has always taken place at Waterloo Recreation. The event location will be held at Farmlane Campground on Clear Lake Rd. The ride offers lunch, an award for best costume (Hawaiian themed), and prizes for most donations. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society, Jackson County Relay for Life. For more information, please visit the Ride to Survive Facebook page or email Karla Richmond at: ridetosurvivetrailride@ gmail.com. Camping at Farmlane can be arranged by Donny Walz (734) 260-9009.

WHA along with the DNR will continue to be enhancing the Horseman’s Camp, staging areas, and trails as projects become approved. WHA has a work bee tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 13th at Horsemen’s Camp. We will address other trail projects that pop up on the WHA Facebook page. Many of our members are happy to ride out and assist with trail maintenance if it’s posted on our page. Keeping our trails free of obstacles is an ongoing and essential task because it is key to ensuring that the trails are available to everyone.

Thank you for all your support and as always, Happy Trails.
