16 - Horse Trail Clean Up Day at Kings Mountain State Park
8:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 16 at the Apple Road parking area. Be ready to either ride or walk to the trails by 9:00 a.m.
If you’ve never joined us on our “Horse Trail Clean Up Day” you will have a lot of fun! We clip back briars, cut up trees that have fallen across the
trails and roll the pieces away, make water breaks, etc. We have made lots of friendships out there in the woods!
There are two groups that work on the trails: those of us on horseback can cover a lot of ground, and those of us on foot can cover a lot of detail
work where a horse might hinder instead of help.
Whether you have a horse you can bring, or prefer to be on foot, we have a place for you on the volunteer crew.
We do all of our work under the direction of and with full permission of the Park Manager.

please feel free to contact me. I look forward to seeing you all at the show to support CERA and other local charities. Attached you will find a

There will be a lunch break where we will host the fun classes and give time for schooling. During this break we will also be showcasing many
horses and ponies for sale. If you are interested in seeing a list of the current horses/ponies, please contact me. We will be happy to showcase
your horse for you and will include an add in the booklet for a $10 donation to CERA. If you are a participant in the show and wish to showcase
your horse we will do so at no charge to you. I know this is short notice, but if you wish to have an add in the booklet, please send the add to me
