Squaw Butte members joined Back Country Horsemen to get out of the arena and into the mountains. On this day, we are going to reverse that. Come join the local 4H riders and guest for a day of fun on horses at the Circle G River Ranch. This year it would be nice if the adults won at least one event! There are a number of jobs required to host events like this, so volunteers are needed. DIRECTIONS
