Hello to Everyone!

You can find the flyer for the 2nd Annual GPFHA Trail Ride and Treasure Hunt at www.gpfha.org. Also you can find the Registration/ Liability Waiver form. All participants are required to complete the waiver and mail it in to Chris Williams (information is on the flyer) along with a check if you plan to pre-register. Riders can wait and fill out the paperwork at the ride but, as always, pre-registering will expedite the process as well as give us an accurate count for lunch! Also, we will be checking Coggins and out of state health certificates at the registration table. Please have them available at check-in Saturday.


Please take a moment to pass along this information to your members. For questions, please direct them to the flyer and the liability waiver. Chris Williams can be contacted at 770-540-6631. She is the chairman of the Fund Raising Committee for GPFHA.



Thank you!
