The Atascadero Horsemen’s Club has been gathering toys and cash/checks for families in need through a Toys for Tots trail ride. Atascadero Horsemen’s Club started in 1964. Right from the beginning, the club secured a way to support the local community, specifically children during the holidays. Sponsoring a toy drive in connection with the Toys for Tots program helps them accomplish that goal. Come participate with them!
48th Annual Toys for Tots Trail Ride
Gathering toys and gathering for the ride will begin at 9:00 am and close up at 3:00 at the Atascadero Mutual Water Company Maintenance Yard at 6805 Sycamore Road in Atascadero. Horseback riding participants will enjoy the trail ride when they are ready to go out. Riders will bring a new, unwrapped toy, or make a donation to Loaves and Fishes. Please no gift cards.
