A Message from Tom Kirsch
ETI National President
Hello, to all.

We tried to have an in-person ETI National board meeting, but unfortunately
didn’t have a quorum. We opted for a phone conference meeting. We discussed
our July Convention and the problems the city is placing on us to have the Convention. Hopefully, next month
we will have a plan. The corrals for doing a good job of getting in their insurance payments. We still need some
corral officers list, so please get your information into the office.

The corrals are starting to put on shows and other activities, so please check the magazine for the upcoming
activities, and try to support these programs. This is very important to our organization. It is so good to see
people out riding. We need to make sure our trails are being used before developers decide to build condos on
the land.

ETI will be donating to the permanent mounting blocks fund in Griffith Park in honor of Lynn Brown. I think Lynn
would have been honored.

Hopefully by next month, we will have more information on events for the summer. I want to thank Danielle
Skaar for all her hard work putting together a new ETI High Point Program, and thanks to Cheri Ovayan for the
outstanding job she is doing with our Jr. Ambassador’s program. This is what makes ETI a great organization...
our volunteers.

Stay safe, and look out for each other.

Tom

     ETI National will be donating toward this effort. Lynn was such a great asset to ETI
                and all equestrians. What a great way to honor her memory!

              Lynn Brown - Giving a Leg Up to Equestrians
      For Lynn Brown’s memory to live on and inspire others
                                             To honor this amazing woman, we are raising
                                             money to put large concrete mounting blocks in
                                             Griffith Park with a plaque dedicated to Lynn’s
                                             memory. To a non-horse person, a mounting
                                             block might sound like a funny memorial. As a
                                             rider who gets on and off her horses at Martinez
                                             every week, I can't think of a better way to honor
                                             a woman who gave so much to us all than to let
                                             her memory give us a "leg up" when we ride.

                                            If we can raise enough money, we can put
                                            several blocks in the smaller parts of Griffith
                                            Park serving Glendale and Burbank riders such
                                            as Easter Field and Pollywog Park and support
                                            other horse initiatives around the park. We have
                                            received a unanimous approval vote from the

Corral 14 Western Wagons Spring Play Day
Written by Linda Elder, Corral 14 Secretary
Nora Moran hosted a wonderful Play Day at her ranch        The members who came to participate on the course
in Barstow, California. The weather was pleasant           were Sue and Kevin Martzolf with their team of
(sunny with a slight breeze), and Nora had snacks and
breakfast items available when we arrived, as well as
a cooler with water. There were shaded bleachers for
the spectators and participants to sit on, and Corral 66
had set up a raffle as a fund raiser for their Corral. We
had a good turnout of Corral 14 members to participate
as well as some who just came to watch and cheer
us on. The Friday before, Nora, Jeanette Hayhurst,
and Sue Martzolf set up a challenging obstacle course
and used Sue’s team and wagon to help adjust the
distance between the cones and size of the keyhole.
The course included a keyhole, turn box, bridge,
backing dock, cones/poles and a figure 8. They also
included a separate log skidding area. The course was
designed so we could drive our teams or singles on
the ground or hooked up to a wagon or cart. Before
lunch, everyone was encouraged to practice on any
of the obstacles and even the complete course if they
wanted. Sue Martzolf assisted some of the members in       Haflingers, Judy Zimmerman with
                                                                      J d Zi              her h

Following lunch we had a “friendly competition”. Jamie
Rees, Margaret Graessle, Jeanette Kelley and Jean
Bredelis, members of Corral 66, volunteered to be our
judges. There was a cheering section of the members
waiting their turn to compete as well as the members
who just came to watch. Some of the members who
came to cheer us on were Katie and Chuck Christman,
new members Linette, Wes and Rachel Taylor along
with her brothers Michael and JJ, Beth Uzonyi, Jeannie
Gordon, and Rick and Janet Maness.

     Despite the unpredictable mood swings in the weather this
     Spring, I am still celebrating the arrival of Daylight Savings
     Time. Evening rides are wonderful. I understand that, like
     a woman, the weather does have the choice to change its
     mind on a whim, but the variation in a day from hot and
     sunny to cold and blustery is downright cruel. My son always
     tells me before we set out on an adventure, “Dress for the
     hike back, Mom”. Good advice this spring. Dress in layers,
     and have several latigos on your saddle to tie your discarded

all interested folks are invited to participate. On April 10,
we will be working on Trails in the Glendora South Hills
Wilderness Park. Workers will receive a commemorative
patch, community service hours, and a free hot dog lunch
provided by the Glendora Rotary Club chefs. My horse, Sera,
and I will be there to represent equestrian trail users and
give folks a chance to interact with a real live horse!

We will be offering Rattlesnake Awareness Training for Dogs
on April 17 at the Equestrian Park. Contact Carl Person for
reservation and appointment time. http.//animaliaherp.

We will be celebrating Earth Day on April 24 at the Glendora

When I started writing this article, the sun was shining and
the snow covered Mt. Baldy shimmered in the warmth of
the rays. At this moment, the sky is grey and Mt. Baldy has
disappeared in a heavy shroud of dark rain clouds. There
will be no Alpine Glow on the mountains this evening. The
warm breeze has turned to an icy blast. Once again the ever
changing mood of this year’s Spring has made time in the
saddle a game of chance. As an optimistic soul, I am happy
that, at least, it is still light when I throw that flake into the
manger.

ride, Sheri Devouassoux and Diane Bubier gave pony rides
to some kids that were camping with their parents. The

rides!

the fire miraculously skipped her home but did unimaginable
