For our ridership, we received an email we thought we would pass along from Linda Raznick... please remain vigilant in the coming hours and days, we have heard reports that the winds will pick up again this evening and may shift quickly. Hello... I left you a voicemail message this morning. My husband and I live in Hidden Hills (with our dogs and horses). I spent a good many hours yesterday lining up neighbors who have empty barns and corrals and can offer temporary housing ...to horses being evacuated. We know that Pierce and L.A. Equestrian have been full to capacity since yesterday, If any of your equine evacuees can get to Hidden Hills (we know the 405 is closed) PLEASE CONTACT ME. My cell phone is (818) 517-9903. Thank you, Linda Raznick

New video course walk. This course was inspired by last week's McLain Ward clinic. We thought it might be fun in preparation for medal finals. Let us know if you have any feedback.

Fabulous video from our own Katherine Fairfax Wright and Sophie de Selliers of a day at the SCPA.
