We are Blessed with so much Open Space and Logging Roads in Northern
California, that our Community is always "Headin for the Hills".
However, there are always groups trying to limit access to these
locations, so all Horsemen, everywhere, have to stay informed and
become involved in Local Regional State and federal Legislation.
Check out the Right to Ride bill now in Congress.
S. 781, the Right to Ride Livestock on Federal Land Act of 2005. This
bill would require National Parks to remain open and accessible for the
use of pack and saddle stock animals on land where there is a tradition
of using such animals.
Believe it or not there is a well-organized Opposition to this bill by
well-intentioned people (Hiker Groups) who do not understand.
