Wells Gray Riders Association plan to hold their second annual Horse Awareness Ride and Walk on Saturday, June 7 starting at 9 a.m., says club spokesperson Elysia McClennon.
Purpose of the ride is to promote safety for horses, riders and pedestrians on the road.
“Police will be behind us as escort and a pilot car will be at the front to provide safe arrival from Clearwater New Life Assembly to the Clearwater Stop and back again,” she said.
McClennon noted that there is a high population of horse riders in this small community.
The ride also helps towards the goal of a Horse Friendly Community that the Wells Gray Riders Association is working very hard at.
People will be wearing high visibility vests to provide more education for riders and pedestrians on the importance of being visible to motorists.
“Hoping for a successful second year! Thank you for all your support,” the Wells Gray Riders spokesperson said.
