November 2011 Newsletter
Hearty greetings, we've been busy here at TrailMeister continuing our
redesign of the site while also adding new material on great places to
ride and the knowledge to help you get there. All of the main area pages
have been updated and we're rapidly converting the remaining materials.
Please pardon the dust during our remodeling.
Marooned Without a Compass Day (November 6th) is fast approaching; A brief recap of our 3.5 hour
condensed seminar last month in Maple Valley, WA
is in order. We talked at length about the basics of using a compass and
reading a map from a horse rider's perspective. Many more classes are
being scheduled for the 2012, if your group is interested in learning
about map and compass usage taught from a horse riders perspective
let
us know!
Enjoy...

accessible for our children and theirs.

Review of the Month
With hunting season and wet weather settling in across the nation,
it's good to be warm, dry, and very visible when riding.
We've found the
Wyoming Trader Rain Slicker to be excellent at all three.
The
large
cut
of
the
garment
allows
the
back
to
hang
past
the
back
of
your
saddle
cantle
and
helps
to
keep
rain
and
snow from
soaking
your
rear.
Lightweight
and
easily
rolled
and
stowed
when
not
needed
this
is a
winner.
