Go Back
Bandera ACTHA Ride on Dec 5 With visions of snow flurries in our heads, we headed to the ACTHA ride at the Hill Country Natural Area in Bandera. Actually, the snow was on Friday and we rode on Saturday. It was cold, but crystal clear and sunny . . . perfect for a winter ride! CHHR boarders Kay Prince on Hansum and Beth Bennett on Sherman were our STARS! Kay/Hansum placed 2nd in the Open division and Beth/Sherman (at their first ACTHA ride!) placed 3rd in the Pleasure division!

Here's a "high five" between Beth Bennett (3rd place pleasure) and Mary Dodson (open winner). Julie Dinse (6th place open) smiles her congratulations. Don't let the sunshine fool you. It was plenty cold for the CHHR riders. Beth Bennett of San Antonio competed in her first ACTHA ride on Gotta Luv Em "Sherman," and placed THIRD in the pleasure division. Photo by Kris Tomkins TJ Corgill calls herself a "nerd" because she always has to match something between horse and rider. On this cold day all she could match were her gloves and Chilly's saddle blanket. Photo by Kris Tomkins Mary Dodson of Uvalde rode with us on her reining mare who was even wearing slide plates. This was her first ACTHA ride and she WON THE OPEN DIVISION! We aren't asking her back to any more rides. Just kidding!!!!
