There is a raffle now for a great coffee table built by Frank Fagan. It's 48"x24"x20", made from old barnwood with old horseshoes embedded and a resin top. The proceeds will all go to Dano Youth Camp. Buy a ticket ($10 each) from Frank (307)254-0012 or Bre (307)254-0013, or contact them to get some to sell.

My seasonal trails positions will be coming out next month for the summer field season. I have reserved a computer lab at Northwest College in Powell for October 26th and 27th 1000-1400, 0900-1300. I am hoping to have interested folks meet at the computer lab to go over resumes and do an application tutorial.

In August we celebrated 30 years of the Shoshone Back Country Horsemen. Thanks to Cathy Ringler, Mark Davis and Randi Slaughter for the photos! See many more on the web page, shoshonebch.org.

This comes from the Territorial Riders chapter of B*H, Oregon. Sad to see such a big old tree gone, but you gotta admire people who can cut it out!

Here is a beautiful tree now a log that was up rooted in a storm. Tim and Dan both had to cut it out using more than one tank of fuel. It's south of the Warm Springs River on the PCT. Guessing it's over 200 years old.

Our next meeting is tomorrow, May 18, at the new Game & Fish building near Cody. We'll have the usual pot luck dinner at 6:00pm, with the meeting starting around 6:30pm. Remember that guests are also welcome!

Well, the Wyoming spring weather is causing us to cancel the Youth and Packing clinic that was scheduled for this coming Saturday (April 1). Sorry to disappoint those planning to attend, but with the slowly melting snow, the grounds are much too muddy. We'll see if we can reschedule it.

Pint Night! Every Thursday night at Sunlight Sports! Sunlight donates to local non-profits, and SB*H is one of them! We certainly appreciate what they've given us in the past. See details in the sign, and come out to support us too - surely we're your favorite local charity😍🥰

Hi everyone,

Also, if you plan on attending, please bring a copy of the proposed by-laws for discussion.

Posting for a friend. Do any of you (near Clark, Cody, Powell or Red Lodge) own one of the 'Arena Rascal Pro' series surface groomers manufactured and sold by ABI Attachments, and would they let us visit and see it in action?
You can let me know and I'll pass on the information. If you're interested (and I'm a bit curious), here's the website:

ABI Arena Rascal Pro - ABI Attachments Arena Rascal Pro is the #1 selling professional ATV and UTV horse arena drag. Versatile arena groomer and driveway grader pull behind drag.

The next meeting will be this coming Thursday, March 16, at the W**d and Pest building near Ralston, starting at 6pm, with a pot luck dinner. Hope to see you there!

From RIchard Tryder of BLM:
The Cody BLM did some much needed work with the aid of Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) on Sheep Mountain Trail and Twin Creek Trail. I know the Twin Creek Trail was is pretty rough shape and the switch backs across the river were pretty dangerous. I thought I would share some before and after pictures.

Does anyone know of some people that would be able to pick up and deliver about 8 tons of hay from South Fork to Clark -- probably 2 loads? We'll pay of course. Our usual delivery person has had health issues, and may not be able to pick it up until next weekend. Meanwhile it's stacked in the field with a tarp, but getting wet on the bottom. This has to be hand loaded.

Does anyone need help rescuing horses from flood waters, or themselves for that matter? Hopefully the waters are receding now, but I'd be glad to trailer horses, and Heather and some friends of hers also have trailers available. I just sprayed both pasture and ring with w**d killer, so it will be this coming weekend before I could offer a temp holding area, but others may be able to do so.

Last meeting until the fall for the Shoshone Back Country Horsemen! This coming Thursday, May 19, starting at 6pm at the W**d and Pest building outside Ralston. Come for good food (potluck!) and good friends. Find out what's planned for work rides, and the July 4 get together. Visitors and guests are welcome!

Group photo from the fun ride at McCullough Peaks. The wind blew and the sand blasted, but these riders and equines soldiered on.

And the winner of the saw....James Seckman! Congratulations!! And thanks to all who purchased raffle tickets. It's a great donation for Dano Youth Camp.
