the West Sac. Trail Riders Association of West Sac to put on a Horse program for
2 nd graders in West Sac. Each year we invite 2 to 3 second grade classes to
Participatae. West Sac Trail Riders bring their horses, rides them around so the
kids can watch and they are able to ask many questions about Horses. They also
are able to get up close and pet and talk to the horses. Some of the members of
Trail Riders are also members of our club. Our two clubs purchase books about
horses that are age specific and each child receives a book either before or after
the event to keep.
