2012 BEACHDRIVERS' WEEKEND
Peninsula Saddle Club
Long Beach, Washington
Labor Day Weekend
Friday evening, Aug 31 through
Monday afternoon, Sept 3
Please join us for our annual Beachdrivers' weekend -- a long weekend of driving, shared knowledge, good food and great company!
Everyone is welcome -- with or without horses, experienced whips and newbies alike. Be sure to bring your family, whether they are horsey or not -- this is a very child-friendly campground, and there is plenty to do in town and on the beach.
All horses are welcome, VSE through draft, driving or riding, experienced or green.
We'll drive on the beach at low tide (beginning about two hours before scheduled low tide and continuing until the water is too high). If you come for just a day, be sure to check the tide tables to know when we'll be on the beach:http://www.642weather.com/weather/tides.php
We usually haul over to the Seaview beach access at the south end of town; if plans change, we will leave a sign at camp.
When not on the beach, we'll drive on the Saddle Club's sand track and/or in the arena. If we all bring enough cones, we'll set up an obstacle course. (Bring any you have, but be sure to label them with your name.)
Those blessed with campfire cooking and organizational skills (i.e., not me) are welcome to plan a meal or meals, potluck or whatever, gourmet or basic. In past years we've had pizza at least on night, and espresso runs are an essential part of the morning routine.
For information on horse camping at the Peninsula Saddle Club, including rates, rules, and directions, here is a link:
http://peninsulasaddleclub.com/horse-camping/Corrals are available on a first-come, first-served basis, or by reservation.
Long Beach also has many hotels and bed & breakfasts, but if you stay elsewhere, your horse will have to stay at the Red Barn next door or elsewhere. The PSC requires that you stay if with your horse.
It's always great to know who's coming, so let us know if you can -- but feel free to join us on the spur of the moment...we're easy. You're welcome to come early and stay late -- we may head down the coast on Tuesday to drive at Sunset Beach, Oregon (between Astoria and Seaside).
We'll add more information as the time draws near.
