Region X News
California, Nevada, Hawaii

All Region X members are invited to “Horse Play” on October 18 & 19. There will be food, games and plenty of pony things to do. Practice your dressage or jumping, take a carriage ride or do the trail course. There will be Halloween games and of course a costume contest. This is an opportunity to expose your pony to new things and have a great time. Think of it as a Connemara slumber party. Don’t have a pony? Just bring yourself. Contact Pat Ashworth at pat@cobblestoneconnemaras.com for more info.

Region X offers a winter getaway weekend for two at the luxurious Tenaya Lodge. Located at Yosemite’s southern gateway, this four-diamond hotel is set on 35 acres bordering the Sierra National Forest. They offer spa services (including Jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, an exercise room and professional massage therapists), an indoor and outdoor pool, and fine dining in a setting of rough-hewn, timber and stone architectural style. Their Guest Services Center can arrange snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or sledding. Badger Pass downhill ski area is a short drive or you can ice skate in the heart of the Yosemite Valley. What would be more fun than a horse drawn sleigh ride that leaves right from the hotel?
Your chance to win a two-night winter stay is only $5.00 per ticket or $20.00 for six. Tickets are available from Pat Ashworth at the above address. The drawing will be held October 18. You don’t have to be present to win.
Region X thanks Delaware North Companies for their generous donation. A special thank you goes to Gene Hagberg for his valuable assistance.
