MORE TENNESSEE TRAILS

[Linda Grajewski]

Everyone with the elections coming up it is the perfect time to meet the candidates and let them know about the need for more public horse trails here in our area. Numbers matter! Also, $$$$$. It is proven that for every $1 spent on tourism it yields a $7 return. Riders will come from other states plus we locals need more areas. Be polite but please let your voice be heard.

Yes this is CA but we all know their ideas frequently spread East. Please everyone get involved, contact your local representatives, State and Federal representatives before there is no need for a Trail Riders group anywhere!

Please speak up but be polite-if we don't let our representatives know our needs we can soon be riding only in our back yards or arenas and not on trails!

Daniel Boone Distance Riders have a bumper sticker that says "I Ride Horses & I Vote-Open Spaces Open Trails". Contact them at www.dbdr.info for yours.

First your local State Representatives, then Congressional leaders, and the Governor. When you are attending political functions let them know this is important to you and our state.

Anyone specific that we should get in contact with?
