I think all that would be needed are some pledge sheets for the riders to collect donations. Also If you want to put one in the my store, Horse folks that dont ride would like to make donations towards this fund raiser, but dont ride.
I have had many calls already. I told them to please wait till we get a pledge sheet here.

Hey, I'm going trail riding and camping on Assateague Island this weekend. If someone would get a pledge sheet together I will take it with and get pledges for that ride. It could be a start.

Benefit ride hosted by MAHA
Our ride on Sunday will be to benefit Elam Stauffer and his family, who own Loveville Leather. Elam donates much to our club, as he also does for other horse groups. Those of us from Southern Maryland know his is the only place to take our tack etc. for repairs.
Elam's eldest son, Reuben was seriously injured when he fell 30 feet from his tree stand. His neck and pelvis were broken and his spleen ruptured. Reuben was very lucky to survive the fall and drag himself 3/4 of a mile to get help. He was flown to shock trauma and is now home again in a body brace.
Most of us familiar with the Amish and Mennonite Communities understand they never ask or look for a hand out when tragedy strikes, and they do not have health insurance.
One of the members of our horse community spoke to Elam, and told him that we really wanted to do something to help them. He said that he would never ask for anything and that no one owed him anything. He was told that we knew that, but he has done so much for our horse community that we want to show him how much we care and the only thing we could think of was monetary and prayers. He was told that we might all do a trail ride, and that the funds would help with the expenses. He said "I certainly wouldn't misuse the money and I wouldn't PROHIBIT it." We take that as a "yes" that we can do it.
Please share this flyer with anyone you think would be interested in coming to the ride. Thank you, in advance, for participating and helping this family!
