Summary:
Description: The US Forest Service is looking for "Riding Buddies" to accompany novice solo riders in the Rio Grande National Forest. The SLV Public Lands Center is compiling a list of people who like to ride and have a flexible weekday schedule. Volunteers would receive a phone call about 2-7 days in advance of the ride date to see if they are available. So, whether it is a leisurely ride to Duck Lake, or a ride on the rugged and steep ride trails of the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, you will be sure to have a good time while helping to provide a safe trip for your Forest Service employees. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Participants must:
- Be experienced riders
- Enter into a volunteer agreement with the Forest Service
- Complete a FREE 2-day USFS Horseman training

- Have confidence riding over all terrain
- Be ready and willing to have a good time

A horse and necessary tack will be provided for use. If you prefer, you are welcome to use your own horse and tack, but your horse needs to have a gentle disposition and able to handle even the most challenging mountain trail situations. If you would like to learn more about this rare opportunity ride along with some of the Valley's most interesting people than please call Rob Santoro at (719) 852-6267 or email rsantoro@fs.fed.us
