Horseback ride or hike in scenic Santa Monica Mountains to raise money for cancer patients and provide therapeutic horseback riding for disabled children.
The “Ride-Walk-A-Thon” will be hosted by the Santa Monica Mounted Police this Saturday, Nov. 6, and gives participants the opportunity to ride through historic sites and learn more about the western heritage of the area from local historians. Each rider or hiker will be able to help raise money for the American Cancer Society “Relay for Life” and “Ride On Therapeutic Horsemanship” through pledges and donations.
Prizes will be given to the first-and second-place contributors. The event will take place from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at the Paramount Ranch. Presentations about animal care and drawings for other prizes are also available. Children can enjoy face painting, horseshoe decorating, a treasure hunt and a magician. For more information about fundraising, contact Vince Hull at (818) 880-8349 or
