SOGGYBOTTOM RIDERS


A small group of country folk gathered at Ohio University in a classroom, one cold and rainy night.  Together they formed the Lawrence County Chapter of the Ohio Horseman's Council.  That was December 1999. 
LCOHC has become strong in number and participate in many events throughout the year.  Our biggest event to date is the St. Jude Children's Hospital Benefit Ride.  Done each Spring for the past four years, we've ridden and we've collected thousands of dollars for this wonderful charity.  Another biggie is the Wagon Train Ride. Three days of riding throughout Lawrence County, via horseback or wagon.We also work with the Wayne National Forest in Ironton to maintain the trails and the camp at Paddle Creek.
This group has one thing in common (among others) and that is the love of horses and the people who ride 'em.
The State OHC Motto remains:  "Horsemen Helping Horsemen".  That's what we do.

I hope everyone can make the May meeting, as we have some plans to make for up coming rides. We want to thank Anne Burton for her informative discussion on nutrition. I’m sure we all learned something helpful. Also, our thanks to all the rangers for coming to the meeting to sell permits. Now if it will stop raining on the weekends maybe we can make use of them. A big welcome to our new members. Looking forward to riding with them. There were a few club members willing to brave the rain for our first ride. Jim and I stopped by, but never got the horses off the trailer. We shared some hot veggie soup and fellowship with the Delawder family, who were relaxing , away from work and cell phones. Last seen Terry and Becky were riding off down the trail in the rain, very much upholding the name Soggy Bottom Riders.We only had one crazy hat, so if every one wants to we can do it on a ride in May. We will pass around a sign up sheet at the May meeting for the rides:
