"Please join us in making a difference in the lives of those who live in the Roaring Fork Valley-- likely someone you know or even a neighbor's child. Be the hope and difference they deserve to become independent and mobile. See you on the 26th!"
Hot to Trot x 3 - We are asking you all three times to send this invite to your friends because.....on Friday, July 26th, friends of the cause, equestrians and visiting city slickers will join hosts Steve and Mimi Leu, Gabrielle Greeves, Friends of the cause and the Board of WindWalkers to saddle up for a good cause. We will enjoy signature cocktails by Woody Creek Distillers, music and a special performance by dancers from CoMotion Dance Company in honor of Lita Heller.

AUGUST 16,17,18 HAY PARK/BUZZARD BASIN WILDERNESS RESTORATION
Roaring Fork Valley Horse Council invites YOU to an incredible weekend of Wilderness Restoration trail work and camaraderie. Friday August 16th, Saturday, August 17th, Sunday August 18th. The start and finish time will be shared once the camping location is assessed. Free and open to the public, registration required. Try this link or go to RFOV website to sign up! http://org2.salsalabs.com/o/5857/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=89171
We are grateful to the CAPITAL PEAK OUTFITTERS whose service of transporting by horse and mules will bring the tools, food and other provisions to the camp & work site.
Directions: Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers and Wilderness Workshop will provide details on how to arrive at trailhead once a site visit is completed in late July.
Project Description: Join us for two days of trail restoration work in the Hay Park area and Maroon Bells – Snowmass Wilderness. Volunteers will be camping at high elevation and working to relocate 1/2 mile of the multiple use Buzzard Basin trail out of the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness Area. The trail used to be a road and is too wide and not conducive to foot traffic in parts. We’ll be building some steps to prevent erosion and keep water off the trail.
Camping: You are welcome to join us for the whole weekend, just one day or one night. Because people may get off work at different times we’ll meet on Friday evening/night at the campsite and will have DINNER WAITING for you. Get there when you can and we’ll make sure to put out some signs to show you where to find us. We’ll work both Saturday and Sunday and should arrive back at the parking lot on Sunday around 5:00 p.m. or earlier.
This is a great way to meet a fantastic volunteering community in one of the most beautiful campsites around. If you prefer to volunteer for one or both days without camping, that’s totally fine too!
What to bring: All your own backpacking gear including tent, sleeping bag and pad, warm clothes, headlamp, rain gear, closed toed shoes, sun protection and water bottles. You do not need to bring a stove or water filter. Please bring work gloves if you have them. Look for some tools at the trailhead and grab one on your way up.
Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV) will provide all food and trail gear.
The hosts and the Roaring Fork Valley Horse Council's partners are the RF Outdoor Volunteers and the U.S.Forest Service, Wilderness Workshop & the Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association.

Now would be a great time to renew your membership as well as your horse's for the 2019 season. You need to register your horse as a member if you want points in the Hunter divisions. To eliminate some confusion, please be consistent with the horse name you use for membership and show registration (i.e. if you register them under their show name, please use the show name for all shows). You can click here to become a member: http://cwhja.com/join/join-cwhja/

We are looking for 2019 sponsors for all divisions! If you are interested, please email Tera Boaeuf at tera.boaeuf@gmail.com. We would love to have all of the division sponsorships in soon so we can promote the businesses throughout the season.
Finally, I would love to clean up our database as it is getting quite large. If you no longer wish to receive our emails, please reply to this that you would like to be removed and I will do so. Thank you!
