Karen,
How
about the ones at Euer Valley?? They are really nice..The advantage to corrals
also is you can take "novice" campers more readily....
Speaking from someone who is already thinking about the first horse
camping trip with my 5 yr old....hmmmm sitting in a Hyatt in Chicago dreaming of
being home riding in the morning.....

that in some sense we are. The mere aspiration, by changing the frame of mind,
for the moment realizes itself.

info on Calif horse camps with pipe corrals...
Folks, our local BLM office is in pre-planning
stages of putting in a horse camp near the Cache Creek Wilderness
area.
I am hoping to be involved in the planning
process, and had been collecting info on horse camps throughout Calif to turn
over to them.
My personal hope is that we can get local clubs
to sponsor sets of pipe corrals.....and also allow people to
high-line
or electric pen, or whatever they prefer. I
feel the permanent pipe corrals are a plus in that they allow the land agency
the ability to place them where they want (taking into account drainage,
natural vegetation, trees, etc), and that they are safer to keep horses
contained and prevent loose horses running through camp and onto the
street. I am talking about 12 x 12 pipe corrals, for one horse only,
they come in sets of two or four, etc.
I do agree some of the more rugged back country
types like to high line their horses, etc. I would hope this camp could
accomodate everyone....and have the corrals on a first come, first
serve.
Anyway, a local club member of an adult trail
club is trying to convince the land mangers to not have corrals; this guy says
everyone likes to high line, which I feel is not true.
In any case, I am now trying to compile a list of
all the Calif horse camps have pipe corrals....can folks help me
here?
So far.....
Cuneo Creek at Humbolt State Park (clubs have
bought corrals)
Jack Brook in San Mateo County
Lake Oroville,
Devils Gulch in Marin
Horse camp near San Luis Obispo? Maybe called
Hazard? Skillman?
