A Forest Ride for Charity
By Glen Morehouse
Many fund raising rides have been held at Al’s Tack Shop over the past 35 years. For 2011, we will host the 5th Annual Al Humphrey Memorial Ride. Everyone is invited to participate, as a volunteer or rider.
This annual ride is held to hon- our the memory of the man who started our tradition of fundraising rides for charity, and gave constant- ly of himself in many ways to help
The Memorial Ride has grown substantially over the years. Nothing is deducted for expenses; everything required to run the ride is donated and all necessary work is generously pro- vided by our tireless volunteers. If you know any volunteers, thank them for the wonderful things they do.
The 2011 Ride will take place on Sunday, July 31. Check-in is from 7:30 am, with the ride beginning at 8:00 am. It will proceed through the beautiful York Regional Forest for a leisurely 25 kilometers, about three or four hours in the sad- dle. A major lunch stop will be located at approximately half- way through the Ride at no cost to registered riders. Volunteer handlers will hold horses, while their grateful riders eat and get the kinks out. There will be water for the horses, buckets pro- vided, and they will be allowed to graze, with saddles off, by the handlers.
Rider regis-
tration fees are $25 before June 25, $45 then until July 25, then $65 until the day before, Saturday, July 30. Please register early, as there is a limit of 300 horse/rider combinations and it will fill up quickly. There will be many awards and prizes, but a day on your horse in the forest is the best prize of all. Overnight camping is available on our grassy acres, with a Saturday night campfire. Ride-day wake-up coffee and breakfast will get you
going (no charge; donation requested). The after-Ride enter- tainment and delicious beef barbeque dinner create the perfect finish for a fine event at a cost of only $10 per person. Sponsors are not only invited, they are essential to the financial success of our Ride. Corporate supporters are entitled to supply 4’ x 8’ banners, to be set up prior to the ride. Spon- sors donating goods, services or financial contributions valued at $500.00 or more may enter a team of riders, up to a maxi- mum of 4. There will also be four courtesy barbecue tickets provided to each sponsor in this category, for the after ride fes- tivities. All sponsors of the Ride will have their names and logos displayed on our web pages, with links to their own web- sites.
We need food and beverage donations for all participants, as well as a variety of items that can be used as ‘thank you’ gifts for the riders and volunteers. Anything sponsors can do to assist should be made available as soon as possible, so we can include your generosity in our publicity. Participation of all sponsors, individuals or companies, will be greatly appreciat- ed.
We look forward to many participants, Sponsors, Riders and Volunteers. You’re all needed and greatly appreciated. See you at the Ride!
