Welcome to the High Desert Riders website!
We are a group of people who are dedicated to promoting equine activities of all kinds, committed to creating a trail system and preserving access to it, and devoted to treating our equines with the respect they deserve. We do trail rides, play days, campouts and hold educational and training events. We'd love to have you join us. Download a Membership Application by clicking here.
Special Events
Ticket sales for the 2012 HDR Saddle (& Bit) Raffle has started. Tickets are $5 each. The drawing will be held at the Run Rally & Rock parade in Edgewood on Saturday, August 11, 2012. First prize is a Double C Saddlery western saddle with 16" padded seat, butterfly skirts and basket weave tooling. The saddle is complete with latigo, Weaver cinch and billet - all ready to ride! If you don't win the saddle, you might win the 2nd prize, which is a custom grazing bit made by Jason Yachik of KDM Bits & Spurs. A portion of the proceeds from the raffle will benefit 4H. See the Saddle Raffle Page for more information and pictures of the prizes.
