HEY PARTNER , SADDLE UP WITH US !
CCASC now offers horseback riding to participants with disabilities .
Thanks to the generosity of local ranch owners , Julie and Gary Winter , CCASC provided riding programs this past summer . Julie donates her time and expertise as our lead instructor and provides the truck and sixhorse transport trailer .
Our horseback program includes lessons in how to care for and ride the Winters ’ six beautiful , well-trained “ polo ponies .”
Many of our participants have told us the therapeutic value of horseback riding has added a new dimension to their experience with CCASC .
All horseback programs take place on mountain trails in the Shaver Lake area . As with all of our programs , we invite the participation of family and friends .
Please contact us for more information and to make a reservation for the 2017 summer season . We are planning to offer 4 horse programs , one each month , in June , July , August and September . They are popular and all filled in 2016 , so make your reservation early .
CCASC also offers many other adaptive sports opportunities in the summer , featuring day and weekendlong programs including kayaking , mountain-biking , fly-fishing , rockclimbing , camping , and hiking .
Southern California Edison generously designated a secluded area on Shaver Lake for CCASC ’ s use , facilitated CCASC ’ s use of Balsam Forebay for fly-fishing and kayaking , and allowed access to a fantastic mountain bike trail where participants can ride CCASC ’ s fleet of adaptive cross-country mountain bikes . We have also set up several climbing routes on a granite wall accessible from Shaver Lake by kayak .
