This from the Folsom Lake Mounted Patrol Facebook Event post today:
"Kim Hall took this photo of part of the Granite Beach parking area showing how many rigs came to enjoy the Folsom Lake Mounted Patrol ride yesterday. Not shown are all the rigs (about 35) on the dirt area beyond the lot, and the rest of the lot (about another 20). What is important about supporting the Patrol by attending this ride is that Park Administration and everyone can see, YES, there are lots of horses who are in the Park every day. Since equestrians are quiet folks who are normally in the far reaches of the Park and not checking in at the main kiosks, sometimes horses and their riders are not considered when making important Park policy decisions. But, when we come together for a worthy event such as this one, our numbers can't be ignored!"
According to FLSRA records, the Folsom Lake SRA Mounted Patrol works more volunteer hours than any other group in Folsom Lake SRA.
