 The Lake Oroville Vista Endurance Ride (LOVER) was 
held this Saturday on November 2nd.  Kathy Papa, ride manager and the 
Mounted Assistance Unit of the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area put on this 
ride.  It was well organized with ample ribbons, signs and smiling 
volunteers to guide horse and rider through the trails.  The weather at the 
start was chilly but soon warmed to a beautiful sunny afternoon.  The vet 
checks were incredible;  smooth running, efficient and thorough...and an 
added plus, lots of food for the riders and hay for the horses. 
  
Ride management listened to riders' comments from 
last year and made some great trail changes.  This ride is fun, challenging 
and offers horses and riders an enjoyable and satisfying endurance 
experience.  Add it to your ride list! 
Thank you,  
Karin Occhialini
