Pinckney Trail Riders Association (PTRA) is a 501c3 non-profit corporation registered with the Internal Revenue Service and the Michigan Attorney General’s office as a charitable organization. Our purpose is to improve, protect, maintain and expand the horse trails in the Pinckney Recreation Area and surrounding areas for use by horsemen and women, their families and the general public for horseback riding, horse camping and horse related activities. Further goals are to establish and maintain a good working relationship with Michigan DNR personnel and to assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate campgrounds and riding trails. Pinckney Trail Riders Association is recognized as a Friends Group of the DNR. As such, PTRA participates with DNR sponsored equine related activities and has other related equine input. PTRA also regularly provides the DNR with our Volunteer Hours Log, where volunteer names and hours are recorded. Since May, 2009 PTRA volunteers have put in over 1,000 recordable hours. PTRA provides our members with the opportunity to connect with fellow equestrians via our Facebook page and email groups (must be a member to receive the benefit of email group participation). Members also enjoy the many activities planned each year including, but not limited to educational seminars, clinics, picnics, connection with fellow equestrians and other trail groups with information sharing. JANUARY 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

PTRA encourages our youth to become involved with horses by exposing them to riding and horses. One way PTRA does this is through community events such as the Annual Kids’ Day at the Ranch, held in July and made possible through the support of member sponsorships. PTRA raises funds through donations which are tax deductible, annual ﬂower sales in March, and membership dues to hire contract labor for heavy trail maintenance. Periodic work bees are held for additional maintenance work with cooperation of other user groups (i.e., running and hiking groups). PTRA encourages cooperation between different user groups. Although we support horseback riding, we also know there are those who do not ride but still support the idea of having open space where the public can go and enjoy the beauty of nature. Your membership can help us to protect the land without ever having “sat on a horse”.

YANKEE SPRINGS TRAIL RIDERS ASSOCIATION MISSION STATEMENT The purpose of the Yankee Springs Trail Riders Association is to preserve, protect, improve and expand existing horse campgrounds and the horse trail network in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, and the surrounding areas, for use by horsemen, their families and the general public for horse riding and camping. To develop and maintain good communications and working relationships with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division, and/or its successors. To assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate horse campgrounds and riding trails and to help generate revenue that will enable horse campgrounds to become self-supporting. To promote horse riding and camping by providing information to the general public on the location of horse campground facilities, horse trails and the recreational benefits available. Our Association was founded in 1989 by a group of riders that had been using the trails for quite some time. They decided that much more could be accomplished by organizing, and we have grown to over a hundred family memberships since then. We are a calendar year organization, offering family membership of $20.00 that runs from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st. We also offer a lifetime membership as well. As a trail riding group we try to have at least 3 events per year, one being a fundraiser for another nonprofit organization, such as Cancer Families United. We also like to have a kid’s FREE event once a year and then a club fund raiser for improvement's to camp and trails. Our events are held at our Horseman’s Campground on Duffy Road in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area. Our monthly meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of every month, usually with a potluck and the meeting to follow. Except for our annual banquet meeting, which is subject to new time and location as the board sees to change each year. Newsletters are biannual. YSTRA will continue to improve and create more equestrian trails for our trail system with the help of our public land managers. In 2016 YSTRA became an official friends group of the Yankee Springs Horseman’s Camp. We will continue to work to improve the campground and possibly bring electricity to our horse camp one day. Our website is www.ystra.org and we also monitor a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ystra.org. The current Officers of the club are: Ken Terpening, Vice President, Sarah Buehler, Secretary, Travis Buehler, Treasurer and Ron Walker, President. Mailings should be to YSTRA, 10370 Parmalee Rd., Middleville, MI 49333. Any Questions should be directed to one of the officers or Ron Walker, 5780 Gun Lake Road, Hastings, Michigan 49058.

THE BRIGHTEST

STARS ARE THOSE WHO Volunteer SHINE TODAY! FOR THE BENEFIT OF

OTHERS ALL AGES WELCOME Have a few hours a week or more of free time? Spend it helping an equine focused association or trail riding group. It’s a great way to get close to horses and their wonderful people. Volunteers of any age are always welcome.

NO HORSE REQUIRED Don’t have a horse? That’s okay. No horse experience? That’s okay too. You just need to be interested in and love horses, that’s all it takes! Volunteering is a great way to learn about horses, no matter your age or experience level. There’s always something to do to help out!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Volunteering your time can be a rewarding experience. Meet people with the same interests as yourself, and make wonderful, lasting relationships. If you don’t have the time, become a member of one or more horse or trail riding associations, ﬁnancial assistance is always welcome. All proceeds from memberships go directly to the association or trail riding group. There is no middle man – how many non-proﬁt organizations can say that!

WHY BECOME A VOLUNTEER? It’s not for money, it’s not for fame. It’s not for any personal gain. It’s just for love of fellow man. It’s just to send a helping hand. It’s just to give a tithe of self. That’s something you can’t buy with wealth. It’s not medals won with pride. It’s for that feeling deep inside. It’s that reward down in your heart. It’s that feeling that you’ve been a part. Of helping others far and near, that makes you be a volunteer. ~ Author Unknown JANUARY 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022
