Trail ride raises funds for hospital charity

Riders with the Oregon Equestrian Trails organization hit the trail for a cause on Saturday, June 4, in the annual “Saddle Up for St. Jude” trail ride out of Sisters Cow Camp.

The trail was a 10.5-mile loop laid out by John Grant and his sons Joe and Ross.

Grant also provided campground music.

More than 45 riders turned out and raised a total of $3,000 for St. Jude’s Hospital.

The youngest rider was Billie Richardson, seven, who rode Strider and earned a $25 pledge from a Crooked River Ranch resident.
