AERC and the BLM Wild Horse & Burro Program are arranging for
tours of the Palomino Wild Horse & Burro Facility in Reno during
the AERC Convention. Last year we had a kind of informal tour
situation set up and those who made it were impressed with the
horses, their maintenance and care, and the “break” from the
casino. The tours will be guided and will include viewing the many
different horses and burros (of all ages); feeding, trimming, care
activities: some training methods for the wild stock; and history
of the BLM wild horses and burros. Some of us who toured the
facility last year were with relatives of members who were not
“horse people” and they were as impressed as we were - it will be
a great and entertaining part of the AERC Convention experience,
as well as an opportunity to get out in the fresh air among horses :^)

We are putting this notice out for your information and to get an
idea of how many members attending Convention would be interested
in taking one of the several tours we are arranging. We are
working on a schedule of times for both Friday and Saturday (they
close at noon on Saturday), getting buses or shuttles for those
who don’t have their own vehicle (you are welcome to take your own
transportation if you wish) and, to that end, it is important to
have an idea of how many members would like to spend about an hour
and a half doing this.

Please reply to both Randy Eiland at renegade12@juno.com and Patti
Pizzo at Piz220@epix.net if you wish to participate and be put on
the list.

Thanks,

Randy
