Hi to all,
It is with regret that I have to announce that the Malibu ride scheduled to 
run this weekend will be postponed to a later, yet to be determined date. 
The fires that are devastating this area and almost all of the PSW region 
have created such a threat both from the flames and the smoke that it is 
unsafe and certainly unhealthy to ask our equine friends to undertake the 
challenge of the Malibu trails.  I'm peaceful about it and will post the
revised date when it's been decided.  After all, it is the 30th anniversary 
of the ride, the 25th anniversary of the Backbone trail over which part of 
the ride goes so it will go on, just another day.
Please keep everyone in the Southern California area in your prayers and 
thoughts.  The news cannot begin to project the destruction and damage 
these fires are causing.  I've been working equine evac all weekend and 
some of the areas have no vegetation of any kind left.  The fire actually 
came within four miles of my house but has moved on and so far, we're safe.  I
feel most for those who have lost their homes, pets, horses or other stock 
or even loved ones in these fires.
Take care and when I have a new date, I'll post it.
