The weekend starts with a Poker ride on Saturday, followed by a potluck dinner
at 6:00pm. WHA provides the meat, usually chicken and pork grilled on-site.
Bring a dish to pass or make a small donation and join us for dinner. Dinner is
followed by an auction of donated horse tack and other 'horsey or non-horsey'
items. If you have items in good condition to donate, bring them to dinner or
take them to the camp host anytime during the day. The auction helps raise
money for campground and trail maintenance.
You don't
want to miss this event!
It is fun
for the whole family!
*Poker Ride
The rules for this ride are very simple. First you sign up at the booth located
at the Waterloo Horsemen's Campground, pay a $5.00 donation, receive a map of
the trails with five predetermined spots highlighted, that mark where
containers filled with different colored plastic straw pieces are located. Then
you ride out and find all of the containers, take a straw from each
one and return to camp. Once you are back at camp, you will turn in your
straws and from a deck of cards draw, at random, five cards. The best three
hands will win cash. The amount won is determined by how many people play. The
payout is as follows, 50% of the entry fees go to the club, 30% goes to
the best hand and 20% goes to the second best hand drawn. The third best
hand gets a Waterloo Horsemen Association gift bag and a WHA t-shirt! Good Luck
to all!
**Potluck
Dinner and Auction
The dinner and auction are held
at the Burns Cabins located within the campground. Just follow the signs.

pork loin chops that are grilled on site by club members. A passing dish is

vacation with family and friends that share a common bond - the horse. Just a
reminder, you don't have to be a member of WHA to participate in this event, everyone
is welcome to join in the fun.
