Convention - NATRC Region 1



Region One of the North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRC) will be
holding its annual convention this year at the Loma Prieta Community Center
in the Santa Cruz Mountains (between Los Gatos and Scotts Valley)

on Saturday, February 26th.

The "Back to Basics" convention theme will feature forums with NATRC
veterinary and horsemanship judges, and a session on "Getting Started" for
the novice rider.  Topics will include how to evaluate a horse's
suitability for competitive trail riding, what type of saddles and tack are
appropriate for long distance riding, plus advice on conditioning and
feeding.

Featured speakers will be long time endurance rider Juli Suhr and trail
advocate Connie Berto.  Juli Suhr has completed the Tevis, a100-mile
endurance ride that crosses the Sierra Nevada mountains, over 20 times.
Connie Berto, also a distance rider,  is one of the organizers of
Envirohorse, a group concerned with environmental issues surrounding the use
and keeping of horses.

There will be a trade show with vendors offering tack, clothing, equipment
and supplies specifcally designed for trail and distance riding.

Convention attendees with campers and motor homes are welcome to "camp out"
in the parking lot of the community center Friday and Saturday nights.  In
addition lodging is available in nearby Los Gatos and Scotts Valley.

The cost of the convention will be $30 per person for adults and $15 for
