Good Morning,
We are holding a parade desensitization/urban riding clinic this Saturday, April 1st at the arena. (see attached flier) Begins at 10:30am. This is a PHA member only event. In the interest of safety, we ask that ALL horses on the day of event have a handler and are not tied to anything. Each horse must have a handler. Please do not bring extra horses and leave them tied.
We will have drones, baby carriages, bikes, etc... to help the horses deal with city stimuli.
IF POURING RAIN...THIS WILL BE CANCELED. WE WILL UPDATE YOU IF THIS IS A POSSIBILITY ON FRIDAY.
We have a board/general meeting next Tuesday April 4th at Mountain Mikes Pizza in Paradise. We will be discussing the Horse Festival, arena, and upcoming events.
1st gymkhana of season is scheduled for April 8th along with a vaccination clinic by Dr. Darling beginning at 9am.
The Gimmick Ride scheduled for May 27th at Doon Grade Ranch will be postponed until September 30th.
Until we ride, Scarlett Miller, President

Good morning,
Our arena has been repaired and is actually in great shape! PRPD was out in force the last few days and have removed all the trees, repaired the broken railing and repaired the broken water lines!
Our arena footing is really nice right now with just a small puddle at the far end.
We did however discover that we had no electricity...probably since the snow storms and unfortunately, all our food in the freezers and fridge are spoiled. Power was restored to arena yesterday by PGE. We are hoping to clean out the freezers next week and we may need help. We lost over $1000 worth of food and will try to file a claim with PGE.
Drill Team is trying to catch up on many missed practices, so we will be practicing next Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 4pm, Also on Sunday April 2nd in the afternoon. Please refrain from using the arena during these times. I will send out an email regarding the day we are planning on cleaning out the freezers as we will definitely need help for this unpleasant task.
Our first gymkhana show of season is scheduled for April 8th with Dr. Darling vaccination clinic to start at 9am. Please see attached form for prices.
I am trying to confirm the upcoming Parade desensitization clinic scheduled for April 1st at the arena and will get that information to you as soon as possible.
For those of you who have not picked up your jackets/sweatshirts or t-shirts, we will have them at the arena at Drill practices and any upcoming events. You will also need to pay for them. We have additional PHA t-shirts and trailer stickers for sale as well.

Good Evening,
Our monthly board meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening at Mountain Mikes Pizza has been cancelled. We received notification today that our winter storm warning has been extended to Wednesday morning. We do not want people out on the roads in the evening unless absolutely necessary. Today we received 5 inches of snow in 2 hours and it created havoc on Ridge Roads.
We don't have much going on right now due to arena and weather conditions and both of these will continue for at least the next 7 days! Stay safe and try to spend a little time with your equines who have all been missing trail rides, shows, and dry ground!
I will update everyone with PHA happenings...especially the Horse Festival coming up in April and our arena conditions.

Hello everyone,
Well this sure has been an interesting week up here on the Ridge. The most snowfall I have seen since 1990. It has been miserable...especially for those up in upper Magalia where we still have 2 feet on the ground. Our horse trailers are buried and we will not be getting them out anytime soon. Hoping everyone is hanging in there as we have another storm set to impact us again Saturday evening and snow is in that forecast!
We have our monthly board/general meeting on Tuesday, March 7th at Mountain Mikes Pizza beginning at 6pm. However...if we receive the forecasted 1-2 feet in upper Magalia this weekend, I will not be making it down the hill. We will postpone a week or two if needed and I will let you all know.
Also...Our first gymkhana of the year is scheduled for March 18th as well as our vaccination clinic by Dr. Darling. This too may be postponed due to conditions at the arena...as of now, at least 6 inches of snow still at the arena.
Behind the scenes, we are working diligently on our events for the year. The Horse Festival committee is really busy planning for our largest event of the year in April. The Gymkhana committee is really kicking into gear and raising money for their saddle series in May. Our Amaze Days are going to be awesome this year as we have added more of an "obstacle challenge" to them. Three PHA Trail rides: Gimmick Ride in May, Poker Ride in June and Treasure Hunt ride in August. We are gonna be busy! Stay tuned for updates regarding weather and our planned events. Stay safe out there everyone.
Until we ride,

Good chilly morning!
Our Dirty Horse Playday scheduled for this Saturday will be cancelled due to the weather. Paradise is expecting 6+ inches of snow in the next few days. We could have a sled day instead!
Our next planned event is our first gymkhana show of the season on March 18th. Dr. Darling will also be at the arena at 9am for a vaccination clinic. Please come on out and support our gymkhana program as they try to raise money for a Saddle Weekend Series in May and take advantage of lower cost vaccinations all in the same day!
A huge thank you to all those that participated in our arena clean up day two weeks ago. Our arena grounds are beautiful once again...that was a tremendous amount of work! Combinations have been changed for 2023, so if you have not renewed your membership, this will be the last email you will receive. Membership forms will be available at the gymkhana show and attached to this email. Our event flyer is also attached. The Parade desensitization/playday has been changed to April 1st. Please make note of it.

Good Chilly morning!
We have a member-only playday scheduled for next Saturday, February 25th... the extended forecast is showing rain/snow beginning next week. So at this point, we are holding off on scheduling anything in arena until we see if weather materializes. If we have no weather, we will plan some fun events in the arena for our members.
We have changed the date of our Parade desensitization clinic from March 25th to April 1st. This clinic will focus on things that one might incur at a parade, riding through town and traffic, etc... Not just for those wanting to ride in our Gold Nugget Parade...this clinic will help any horse/rider deal with unforeseen "scary" things. This is a member-only event. Thank you to Brandy Kristiansen and Jackie Sandquist for offering this to our members. Starts at 10am.

Good Morning,
I am going to send out just a few more emails for the 2022 membership roster. After February, you will no longer receive PHA updates if you have not renewed your membership.
The arena combinations will be changed today. For those of you who have already renewed your memberships....thank you so much for your timely response!
We have a great year planned and you won't want to miss out on the PHA membership reduced rates for our events...or the PHA member-only playdays.
We are in great need of our "younger" members to help assist us older folks with tractor, arena prep and arena maintenance. This is our biggest area of help needed and we just cannot keep up with the demands. Please consider volunteering to be on one of or more of these committees.
Our first general/board meeting of 2023 will be Tuesday, February 7th, 6pm at Mountain Mikes Pizza in Paradise. Please plan on joining us!
