The Appaloosa Museum & Heritage Center
invites local Appaloosa enthusiasts to load up their horses
and camping gear for a weekend of adventure at the 12th Annual
Apalousey Trail Ride! This all-breed trail ride will be held
Aug. 7-9, 2009, at the Pony Club Grounds on George Hatley’s
(a.k.a Mr. Appaloosa) ranch just outside of Deary, Idaho.
The fun begins Friday, Aug. 7, for rider check-in and an evening
performance by the Idaho Old Time Fiddlers Association. The
ride begins Saturday morning for a trek along Palouse trails,
ending the day with wagon rides, the locally renowned Dutch
Oven Dinner, a silent auction and an evening performance of
the Singin’ Cowboy, Bodi Dominguez. The weekend concludes
on Sunday with a hearty breakfast followed by a morning trail
ride.
All proceeds from the Apalousey Trail Ride, Dutch Oven Dinner
and Silent Auction will benefit the Appaloosa Museum &
Heritage Center.
