We are lucky to live in a horse area, and even luckier to be home to two organizations that bring horses and kids together -- Ride to Fly and the Portuguese Bend Pony Club.
Both of them need our support.
This Saturday, April 24, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Ride to Fly, an all-volunteer non-profit organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding lessons, is hosting its only public fund-raising effort. So put on your best Country and Western attire and go over to the Empty Saddle Club, 39 Empty Saddle Road, Rolling Hills Estates, for some fun and games. Admission and parking are free. There will be burgers, hot dogs and drinks, games, pony rides, a silent auction, and live country music by Brian Lynn Jones and the Cowboy Misfits. If you call 310 -755-4006 and tell them that you're coming, they'll be sure to have enough food for everyone.
Two weeks later, on Saturday, May 8, the Pony Club, which brings kids and horses together for instruction and fun, is offering a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Pony Club, 2 West Pomegranate Road. Just $7 will buy you pancakes, sausage, orange juice, coffee and all the fixings. Not only will you get a great breakfast, but you'll get to eat it with some of your neighbors. Many Bend residents joined the fun last year. You can RSVP for this event by calling 310-377-6058. That way, they'll know how much food to prepare. Pony Clubbers suggest that if you come hungry, you'll leave happy.
