Take Your Horse on a Charity Ride
September 23rd, 2008

The summer was full of dog walks to raise money for various charities. Did you know there were some eventswhere you could take your must larger four legged friend…your horse?
On Saturday, October 4, Riders will “Saddle up for Babies.” The ride the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Michigan benefits the March of Dimes and your horse is welcome, and encouraged, to attend. Just like a dog would need a rabies shot to come to an event, your horse will need a current coggins test. There will be awards given to the riders who raise the most pledges, and there will be a raffle as well.
Check Out all the details HERE.
October 24 through November 3, 2009, World Horse Welfare will be hosting the ILPH Aztec Challenge. In otherwords you have a lot of time to plan, but you need it as you would have to check with regulations about bringing your horse, but I have heard its very doable. Check their site for more info.
From the site:
Come and spend some time in this fascinating part of the world. Based around the huge lake Valle de Bravo, which is about 2 ½ hours drive west of Mexico City, youwill ride through evergreen forests enjoying panoramic views across the Sierra Madre Mountains.
There are many more that I haven’t mentioned. Maybe I will find an event you can take your goldfish to next!

I may have to check out that one in Michigan. I don’t have a horse, but I have some friends who may be interested in checking it out.

It’s closer to the Grand Rapids area. One of the raffle prizes is a western saddle, if I recall. I won’t be anywhere near there, but have some friends. I was tempted to buy a raffle ticket for it.

The last Iheard here in Muskegon, the Double JJ was closed. Please check before making the trip.

I just found out that too yesterday. The committee for the event even met with the ranch a few days ago, and the ranch didn’t let on to them that they were closing. That was pretty rotten. The raffle donations will go towards the chef event in a few months.

They have been closed since September 4. There was a news article about this being cancelled here in Muskegon a couple of weeks ago on television. It is unfortunate that they are closed now. They were a great asset to our community. Let’s hope that they emerge from this and someone re-opens the facility!
