Re: [RC] Fw: Support Recreational Riding and Right-To-Ride - Laney Humphrey

A related issue that also needs to be addressed is allowing the use of motorized equipment for trail maintenance on public lands. The way it is now, no motorized vehicles are allowed in many areas and there is no way to maintain and repair trails for horse use using only hand tools.

SUPPORT RECREATIONAL RIDING AND RIGHT-TO-RIDE

Important legislation has been introduced to ensure recreational riders have access to public grounds and we need your help to pass it. Right-To-Ride Legislation, House bill H.R. 586 by Congressman Radanovich (R, CA) and Senate bill S. 781 by Senator Crapo (R, ID), will preserve the access of horses and pack stock to public lands where there is a historical tradition of such use. This legislation will apply to federal lands managed by the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service.

It is important that as an AQHA member, you contact your Congressman/woman and Senators to encourage them to co-sponsor the legislation. The more co-sponsors we can generate for the House and Senate bill, the better our chance of passing this extremely important recreational riding legislation.

Please follow the link below to AQHA's legislative action web page. After reading the action alert information included on the web page, please enter your zip code in the Take Action Now box. This will forward you to a page with a pre-printed letter that will automatically be sent to your Congressman and Senator once you enter the requisite information at the bottom of the page. Also, you may edit the letter with your own information if you would like to make it more personal.

Encourage Your Congressmen to Co-Sponsor Right-to-Ride Legislation <http://capwiz.com/aqha/issues/alert/?alertid=7749306&type=CO>

Thank you for your support of the American Quarter Horse and the recreational riders across the country.
