We work to maintain a healthy equine community and keep up existing riding trails. We actively seek the establishment and recognition of new trails as properties are developed and the area grows. An additonal goal is to ensure Nipomo continues to remain a horse "friendly" community while the personality of our community evolves with new developement.
Constant meetings with Planning and Zoning, as well as local community groups are necessary to maintain good relationship and keep reminding them that we moved here to be in an area where we CAN ride our horses! Our Board is active with these groups and continue to follow development by attending many meetings, and encourage the continuance of our existance. Each time a new development comes in, our officers make sure that horse access is considered.
Not only that, but also many members get out and physically dig, shovel, rake, haul chips to build and maintain trails not only on the roadsides but also in the developments that have trails designed into their community. Many hours are donated annually and we are always looking for more eager trail lovers to help us!
Work days and ride days are planned throughout the year - become a member and check our newsletter for updates and lots of riding information!
Many of us have ridden the Widmark Property for years. George has kept a horse trail around part of his property to be accepted by the County. Unfortunately people from all over have been using this property as their personal dumping grounds. We had a roll off which George Widmark has paid for, we had workers to help load the “Gems” into it. Marcus Green, Barbara V, Marshall Klein, and Mike & Darcy Murphy came with their tractors, backhoes, and a flatbed to insure a successful day. Folks brought heavy duty gloves, quads, and trash containers, and picked up these “Gems”. Just another equine success! Go RN!
