PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello Everyone,
This will be my last message to you as President of ETI Corral 22. It has been an honor and a
privilege to serve as as your President for the last seven years. You are the most wonderful group
of people that anyone could work with. Together we worked as a team and continued to make
Corral 22 the largest and the best Corral in all of ETI!
I was so intimidated by serving as President because Gwen Allen had served for twenty five
years. Now I could easily fill her shoes, probably twice, however Gwen was a fabulous President,
not only for C22 but for National ETI.
My secret weapon for being successful was my husband John Richardson. Together we worked as a
team. I was always thinking up ideas and John would help me implement them, being the engineer
that he was. As we all know, John was a Guru on the computer which made it simple for me.
I'm turning the torch over to my Vice President, Kathleen Ungamrung. Kat is a very brilliant, young,
tenacious woman who is very capable and will make a wonderful Corral 22 President. Ivy Murillo
will be our Vice President, another very intelligent young woman. Pam Patterson, a very happy and
hard working lady will be our Secretary.
And sadly John passed away unexpectedly on November 12th. I'm not sure how long John was
Treasurer for C22, I think it was over 25 years. Now his shoes will be very hard to fill, however
Antoinette Dohmen will do an excellent job. We are very fortunate to have her.
A special thanks to Mary Timmer who is always been there for me. Mary is our Editor and so much
more. I wish to thank Carole Norris for all her many years of serving as C22's Secretary and as our
Membership Secretary. And to all my Board Members, Tiffanie Bailey our Trail Coordinator, Tina
Pollard our Historian, Paul Jacques our Delegate and Bill Pollard our Alternate Delegate, Paul
Anderson and Doran Sharff. At this time I want to welcome to the Board of Directors, Craig
Tognazzini. Craig is a very handy guy to have around. He is well organized and experienced at
putting rides on, good at cooking for large groups etc. Welcome aboard Craig.
Many Happy Trails
Sharon

WHAT’S NEW IN 22
Losses:
Update: Art Monde
Kat Ungamrung, Ivy Murillo and Mary Timmer paid Art Monde a visit at his current
residence out in Apple Valley. He was his usual lively self and regaled us with stories
from the past, including a very interesting bit about a the Corral 22 gate in northern
California. It would be interesting to visit that trail gate or learn more about its history.
Art would love visitors and he just might take a phone call if he can make peace with the
damned cell phone.
His phone number: 760-617-3940

Horsing around
2014 Simi Valley Challenger Park Ride
2014 Simi Challenger Ride! Seven riders met at Challenger Park in Simi Valley for the event, led by Tom Smart.
High wind warnings were ineffect and with good reason as winds over 25mph with gusts much higher added to our
adventure, but all equines kept nice and steady as they climbed up steep trails to the ridge line.
We were rewarded with panoramic views of cities, mountains and lakes from Simi to Thousand Oaks and beyond as
we progressed along the ridge, over a few mountain tops then worked our way down to the relative quiet of a deep
valley.
Tom led us to an interesting picnic spot that had an old line camp cabin from the original ranch of that area and we
rested our mounts while we ate our lunch before heading down through some beautiful woods with tress dressed in
gorgeous autumn leaves back to the park.
Everything went very well, including an incident where Suzanne’s young horse slipped into a coil of deadly razor wire
on a steep hill. She was able to bail off and her horse stayed calm and the wire just coiled back off of him, only causint
a small cut on one leg-what a miracle!! They were able to finish the ride with no issues, although I’m sure Suzanne
will be cleaning and hosing her horse’s leg tonight-what a good trail horse– and only six!
Thanks to Tom Smart for setting up such a fun ride and to our riders, Jeanne and Tom Hill, Aleta and our newest ETI
22 member Suzanne Pattison, Paul Jacques and special guest Pam Oldfield from Norco.
