Highlights From APRIL General Meeting
|
Dr. Larry Goss, DVM gave a fantastic presentation regarding Equestrian First Aid. The information he provided was loaded with beneficial information. One of the main topics was what to carry in a First Aid Kit while riding your horse on a trail. Some of those items: Banamine, Thermometer, Antiseptic Rinse, Clean Wraps & Self Adhesive Wraps, Feminine Sanitary Pads and Flex Tube for insertion in horse nose in case of snake bite. The slide show that Dr Goss brought with him was a great addition to his knowledgeable and entertaining presentation. Our turn out of members was one of our best, we had about 30 members that night! Many THANKS to Dr. Goss for taking the time to be our guest speaker! If you would like to suggest an event and/or speaker for one of our meetings, please email: admin@mvtrails.org

MVTA SUGAR PINE MOUNTAIN SPRING FUN RUN OR WALK !!!
|
Sugar Pine Mountain Spring Fun Run or Walk MVTA's first ever Fun Run was a light success. We may not have brought in the amount of runners/walkers that we had wanted, but it was enough to cover costs! Not bad for a first time attempt in putting on an event that we had never done before.
Our winners were:Linda Ashcraft- Women's 7-Mile
Sam Smith - Men's 7-Mile
Michelle Houston - Women's 2.5-Mile
Rex Bloomfield - Men's 2.5-Mile
Many THANKS to our participants and to our volunteers who sat at check points endearing the sun and avoiding the ants & poison oak!
We ALL enjoyed the cookies!
The best thing to come out of promoting this Fun Run, was the possibility of a partnership on a like venture with John Arrabit & Sam Smith!
