With regard to important tools for ranch life, there are few things more satisfying than well running, clean equipment! Thanks to Steve Shupe and Lorraine Flores, our Kubota and tractor are in fine form!

The guest speaker at our July Membership meeting was Deborah Malkin, a trust and estate attorney. She shared her perspective on how to provide for our beloved animal family members after we are gone. Here is a link to a recording of the meeting:

Teamwork makes the dream work! SCCHA Directors Darren and Lorraine work together to fill the gas tank of the tractor. AND - Lisa and Brad Boyer, who witnessed this dance with machinery (and resulting mess), kindly donated a fuel transfer pump to make it easier next time. THANK YOU Boyers!

Casual collaborative fun?! Yes, please!
TOMORROW, Saturday August 9th from 9am - 3pm
Join BAWE at Santa Cruz County Horsemens Association for an opportunity to practice some Working Equitation obstacles on your own. The event is free for members, $10 day use fee for guests coming with a member. There will be a course map (which you don't have to use), probably 8 WE obstacles, no instruction, no registration. Just a cooperative event where we all share the arena and play. You don't even have to be doing Working Equitation, you can just play. Join us!

Just a quick heads up - there's a BIG herd arriving at the Showgrounds this coming weekend!
Our friends from Los Viajeros are bringing a large contingent and there are a number of individual camping reservations as well.

So, if you don't like crowds...
