 PRESIDENT’S 
PROSE I hope this finds all our members feelin’ fine and 
frisky -- spring is here and there’s lots of work to be done!  We have a full schedule of projects for 
this spring, and we’ll spend the summer getting to know the southeast corner of 
the Gila Wilderness.  
 April was a big bust due to the winds.  We had to postpone both of our planned 
rides, but we were invited to ride along with Tom Seay and his Best of 
 The good folks at Landmark Mercantile (at the 
 I’ve listed a few new websites of interest at the end 
of the newsletter.  Cowboy Poet and 
Veterinarian Baxter Black helped establish the one entitled A Million 
Horses.  I encourage you to visit 
the site and take action to reverse the legislation banning horse 
slaughter.  These horses have 
nowhere to go, could serve a purpose, and would at least die a quick, merciful 
death as opposed to suffering starvation and abandonment.  Most of you reading this would choose 
euthanasia, but there are too many who won’t, and there are horses whose best purpose would be

Business: Don Patterson suggested that we send a questionnaire 
with self-addressed stamped envelope to members and ex-members to determine what 
we can do to encourage more participation in our meetings, rides and work 
projects.  He will draft the
