Sandusky has plenty of shopping and numerous restaurants very close to the fairgrounds. Sandusky’s show pen was re-worked a few years ago, and has excellent footing. Concession stands are scheduled at all shows. BWPHA participates in the “APHA-Paint Alternative Competition Program” and the “PHBA-Palomino Performance Program.” If you have a color breed horse, these programs are very easy to participate in, and have some really nice prizes through APHA and PHBA.

Kensington Trail Riders Association (KTRA) is a group of like minded individuals that span both genders and all age groups. Our horses are every breed and color imaginable. The common threads that connect us are our love of riding and a desire to keep Kensington Metro Park as a destination for trail riders. With more than 25 miles of equine riding, Kensington provides wide, sandy trails, diversity of terrain, and ease of access. KTRA members have work bee activities so everyone can enjoy the trails year-round for club activities and camping events. One of the highlights each year is the Billy Gunn Trail Challenge where we encouraged members and non-members alike to come and ride a mile, ride a trail, or ride all the trails in the park on a single day. We generally host two fun-filled camping weekends each year - one in spring, one in fall. Both camping weekends have a camp breakfast on Saturday morning and a camp potluck with a band on Saturday night. It is a wonderful, fun-filled event. If you have questions, please call Bill Gunn at 248.207.1496.

YSTRA MISSION STATEMENT The purpose of the Yankee Springs Trail Riders Association is to preserve, protect, improve and expand existing horse campgrounds and the horse trail network in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, and the surrounding areas, for use by horsemen, their families and the general public for horse riding and camping. To develop and maintain good communications and working relationships with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division, and/or its successors. To assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate horse campgrounds and riding trails and to help generate revenue that will enable horse campgrounds to become self-supporting. To promote horse riding and camping by providing information to the general public on the location of horse campground facilities, horse trails and the recreational benefits available. Our Association was founded in 1989 by a group of riders that had been using the trails for quite some time. They decided that much more could be accomplished by organizing, and we have grown to over a hundred family memberships since then. We are a calendar year organization, offering family membership of $20.00 that runs from January 1st to December the 31st. We also offer a lifetime membership as well. As a trail riding group we try to have at least 3 events per year, one being a fundraiser for another nonprofit organization, such as Cancer Families United. We also like to have a kid's FREE event once a year and then a club fund raiser for improvement's to camp and trails. Our events are held at our “ADOPT-A-PARK” Horseman’s Campground on Duffy Road in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area. Our monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, usually with a potluck first and the meeting to follow. Except our Annual banquet meeting which is subject to new time and location as the board sees to change each year. At the annual meeting we usually have some youth awards that we like to present to our outstanding youth participation. Our newsletters are biannual. YSTRA will continue to improve and create more equestrian trails for our trail system with the help of our public land managers. We will continue to work to improve the campground and possibly bring electricity to our horse camp one day. Our Website is www.ystra.org and we also monitor a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ystra.org. The current Officers of the club are: Tom Chaffee, V.P., Kathy Taylor, secretary, Jeanne Burger, treasurer, Ron Walker, president. Mailings should be to YSTRA, P.O. Box 352, Delton, Michigan, 49046.

About the Genesee County 4-H Horse Leaders Association

We are a volunteer group made up of seven 4-H clubs, with one club in existence for over 40 years. We meet monthly to promote leadership, horsemanship and growth for our youth, which includes not only our show season, but also community service. Our organization sponsors a Horse Bowl Team, as well as candidates from our county to attend the State 4-H Horse Show in August. Our Executive Board includes Leaders and Youth from our clubs, with each member taking responsibility to chair committees for our shows, education and community outreach. Our open shows are designed to have something for everyone, from the smallest competitors in Cloverbuds through Adults. We are proud to have varied Dressage class offerings, from traditional Dressage classes to Gaited, Saddle Seat and Western Dressage classes. We are able to provide a wide variety of classes for exhibitors to choose from by fundraising, including the Sponsor Book produced for our 4-H Achievement Days. This year’s 4-H Achievement Days will run the second weekend in July and includes Championship Classes, Team Event classes and themed Stall Decorations. This year’s theme, “Travel” will be featured on the cover of our Sponsor Book, which showcases area businesses and individuals who contribute to supporting the 4-H program in Genesee County and on t-shirts for clubs. This special week is meant to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments and create memorabilia for our youth. Following Achievement Days, we turn our focus to the Genesee County Fair and running two separate show days for 4-H riders and other open riders who participate in all the Fair has to offer. We plan on doing community outreach to those attending the fair, encouraging attendees to learn more about horses and sportsmanship. We have lots of fun planned for the upcoming year and show season, and we welcome new members to our clubs and open riders to our shows. Follow us on Facebook at the GCHLA group site, or go to www.gchla4h.com for more information on joining a club, coming to open shows, or placing an ad in the Achievement Days Sponsor Book. Thanks to our leaders, youth, parents, friends and sponsors who volunteer their time to the GCHLA, and to our MSU Extension Program Coordinator, Heidi Mudel, for her continuing support in developing goals and supporting increased youth leadership in the Association. See you at the shows!
