WSQHA Trail Ride 2008
Updated: April 15th, 2007
Have you marked your calendars!
September 5-7, 2008 at the Flying Horseshoe Ranch
The Flying Horseshoe Ranch is located on highway 970, 4 miles off I-90 near Cle Elum. The ranch has been owned by the Blackburn Family since 1956. Originally a children’s summer camp, it’s now open for families, social events and other activities. The ranch has many amenities to offer and we believe it to be the PERFECT location for our annual event. For more information on the ranch, go to www.flyinghorseshoeranch.com.
The registration mailing is scheduled for the first part of May. For those of you who are anxious to register, scroll down on this page to the downloadable form.
The registration mailers are scheduled to be sent to all participants of the ride for the last 3 years (2005-2007). We will gladly add you to the mailing list, simply email your name and full mailing address to: kerripace@hotmail.com
If you are interested in reserving lodging or making arrangements for rental horses, please contact the Flying Horseshoe Ranch directly at (509) 674-2366 or www.flyinghorseshoeranch.com. The ranch website has GREAT pictures of the location, cabins, tents and tipis!
As in years past, the ride will include both a silent and live auction. We are accepting donations. If you wish to make a donation, please contact Tina. We will gladly store donations! Our supported charities for 2008 will be: Equi-Friends, NW Therapeutic Riding Center, Washington State University Veterinary School and the AQHA Foundation.
