That is great that given the weather we were able to make that much AND have a good time. Thanks to all, and yes I'll volunteer for the next event.

Just wanted to add my own thanks to Kristi, Sharon and Jaime B and all their volunteers for a job well done on the Poker Ride!! I really enjoyed being able to attend a SAFE event as a rider, and it was a lot of fun to see everyone on their horses.
Once again I want to say that Kristi, Sharon and Jaime B came up with the idea for this SAFE fundraiser and planned it all with little or no help from the BoD. We are very grateful to them for taking the initiative and for putting together a great event that made SAFE look terrific!!
Can't wait to do it again!

It was wonderful. Everyone seemed to have a great time and many none poker riders, who rode past me at the 4th station, want to join us in the next one. Must remember to post flyers at the local stables!

It looks like everyone had so much fun! I'm completely jealous and envious and wish I could have been there. Family and business obligations prevented our participation this time, but next time.....you can count us in!!

Great work everyone! It's great to see something like this come to gether and turn into a successful fundraising event. Wow!
My mother-in-law couldn't make this one because she is in eastern washington and didn't want to haul over the pass in the winter conditions. I hope you guys will think about doing another event in the spring/summer. Seems like a december ride was perfect for the first time out!

country girl, Miss Sugar was hoping to see you! Glad to hear you got out on the trails though... Sugar was a bit excited at first but we had such a great time- a real confidence booster for her (and probably me too) Happy Holidays!!

Sugar was a bit excited at first but we had such a great time- a real confidence booster for her (and probably me too) Happy Holidays!! Haha I really wanted to come, but given the weather conditions that was a bit of a far drive. We had some trails just right up the road. I would love to get out and ride with all you guys sometime. I really want to help out at SAFE more, just too bad its so far away >.> Cant wait till the next event, hopefully I will be able to make it! And at the snow next year , for sure me and my baby will be there to see you all :]
