COMMITTE HEADS

TRAYLOR RANCH NATURE RESERVE

We had our third monthly workday on June 25. Upon arriving at Traylor Ranch in the early morning, it was very clear that in the last month the weather really stimulated the plant growth. The grass has grown 2 plus feet in some areas and the blackberries threatened to take over some areas of the trail. A dedicated but small group of volunteers came out this month, including Bob Sydnor manning pruning shears, Jennifer Wright pushing a wheelbarrow filling trail holes, Linda Potter wrestling a big or-ange tractor, Jerry Potter controlling a weed-wacker, Wes Babcock also on weedwacker duty and Annette Nylander doing some high altitude trimming from bareback on her horse and yours truly power berry trimming and tractor mowing. Some of you might have noticed a collapse of a culvert area near Sturzen Picnic area. We filled and corrected the area. We'll be asking for help from the county to make a more permanent fix before the rainy season. I'd also like to send out a big thank you to Rick D'Ambrosio of Rocklin Overhead Door. At the close of last month's workday on memorial day weekend, our overhead door on the tractor barn blew off the tracks and was stuck part way down. It was a mess. On memorial Day, Rick met me out at TRNR to survey the damage. He sent his crew out the next day and not only got the door working again but also strengthened it. On top of that, after all was done and seeing the good work we do at TRNR he was so kind as to donate the cost. Plus it turns out he and his significant other have horses and will be join-ing LBHA. Thanks Rick, it is very appreciated and we welcome you to LBHA. Everyone note our next workday is the fourth Saturday of the month which is July 23. Same time and station, 8 am to noon. This is ex-pected to be a long season and everything is still very green so I expect the growth will con-tinue. We could especially use more weed eat-ers.

A pony is a childhood dream, a horse is

an adulthood treasure.

Loomis Basin Horsemen’s Association Minutes— June 2011

6-15-2011 Loomis, CA – at Traylor Ranch The meeting was called to order at 6:34pm by President Denise Howell. The first speaker was Bob Sydnor. Although we know him as a horseman and trail master, his other hat is professional geologist with some very impressive credentials. The interplay of geology, history and politics is fascinating. As an example, Bob pointed out that subsequent geological discoveries were largely respon-sible for the ultimate decision to not build the dam at Auburn. He showed a geological map and the Penryn Pluton which is why Penryn has Griffith Quarry, historically an important source of dimensioned stone. Bob briefly (imagine that) discussed the geological history of the area from 4 billion years ago up to today. The rock that underlies Traylor Ranch is quartz diorite of the Penryn Pluton. Bob explained how geological fea-tures influenced settlement and development patterns. Linda Desai discussed the Learning from the Land Program at Traylor Ranch. This is a program aimed at middle school students. It provides a whole day of activities for them to investigate the local environment and to be introduced to the concept of stewardship of the land. The morning focuses on grassland topics, then stream habitat, then culture and recent history of the area. After lunch the students are involved in a restoration project where they plant to increase habitat. Finally there is a reflective period when they are asked to write about their experiences. Roger Groghan discussed The Maidu, especially the Nisenan subculture in this area. Everyone was invited to visit the very impressive new Maidu Center in Roseville. Roger discussed tribal structure, religion, agricul-tural and hunting/fishing practices, diet and basket-making. He emphasized that their way of life reflected their respect for nature. Shawna Martinez, a biologist at Sierra College, asked the group to name a species. 99% of people respond with animals, yet when we look around the outdoors, most of it is plant, not animal. She reported that one research project discovered that most middle school kids can identify over 500 corporate logos, but only name 10 species of animals. She then led the group on a delightful nature hike across Traylor Ranch. Shawna identified and discussed a wide variety of plants and animals as we encountered them on the hike. It was a very interesting and educational evening. If you were not there you missed a great event. Thanks to all our speakers and Dave Faoro for organizing the meeting (including perfect weather and a full moon – nice work Dave). Respectfully submitted, Shirley Koch, Secretary

Horse Expo

A HUGE thank you to all the Western States Horse Expo Volunteers: Guy, Tim, Linda H., Linda T., Liz, Sheila, Shawna, Kathy, Karin, Janis, Gisele, Peter, Muriel, Jane, Flo, Carole, Maureen, Denise, Betty and Terry. Your help was invaluable! We sold 35 T-shirts and tank tops (if I counted correctly) and 1 ball cap ($546), took in $155 in new memberships and renewals, and received donations of $25 for Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve and $10 for the Trail/Arena Fund. And we talked to LOTS of people spread-ing the good word about LBHA! Great job, everyone! LBHA Shirts are available and can be ordered through our website. http://www.garlic.com/~lbha/lbhatshirts2.html

California Declares Containment of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) Outbreak Release #11-030 SACRAMENTO, June 20, 2011 – The recent disease outbreak of the neuropathogenic strain of Equine Herpes Virus -1 (EHV-1) associated with the horses that attended the National Cutting Horse Associations Western National Champion-ships in Ogden, UT is contained. Containment is based on the fact that California has gone more than 14 days from the last clinical case onset date without a confirmed clinical case of EHV-1.“I want to thank California’s horse owners and veterinarians for their prompt and thorough actions to isolate and monitor exposed animals and contain this outbreak of EHV-1,” said State Veterinarian Dr. Annette Whiteford. “We also owe the success of this project in part to the out-standing isolation biosecurity measures implemented by horse facility managers, show/event managers and other professionals who work with and care for horses.” It is important that the California horse owners remain vigilant as there is always risk of disease when horses of un-known health status are commingled at one location. Consistent, basic biosecurity practices play an important role in reducing risk of exposure to diseases such as influenza, strangles, pigeon fever, or equine herpes virus. By implementing the biosecurity measures below, you can minimize disease risk: · Minimize horse nose-to-nose contact with horses of unknown disease status. · Don’t share equipment including buckets, tack and grooming equipment. · Avoid using communal water troughs. · Fill water buckets directly from the faucet to eliminate potential hose contamination. · Limit human contact between horses or wash hands or use hand sanitizer between horse contacts. · Prior to returning home from an event, clean and disinfect all equipment, including trailer, clothing, tack grooming supplies. · Isolate all new horses or horses returning home for a minimum of three weeks. Isolation means no direct contact with other horses or humans and no indirect contact via shared equipment. · Consult your veterinarian to establish appropriate vaccination for your horse(s). Horse owners are strongly encouraged to consult their veterinarian regarding these steps and others to determine how best to reduce the risk of your horse acquiring an infectious disease.

Pioneer Express Trail to Avery's Pond North Fork of the American River, Pioneer Express Trail Milepost 47.5

Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, Placer County by Robert H. Sydnor, M-AERC, LBHA Trails Committee July 2011

Springtime is a splendid opportunity for horseback riding amidst the wildflowers at Avery's Pond, located about 1.2 miles

north of the Rattlesnake Bar Equestrian Assembly Area, at Milepost 47.5 of the historic Pioneer Express Trail. LBHA riders will

enjoy scenic views of the full reservoir of Folsom Lake along the North Fork of the American River.

Wildflowers along

the trail: Purple

vetch, red & yellow

aster, and yellow

sticky-monkey.

Directions to Staging Area at Rattlesnake Bar

From Auburn-Folsom Road, drive eastward on Newcastle Road, then descend steeply onto Rattlesnake Bar Road. Enter Fol-

som Lake State Recreation Area at the toll booth, then continue 0.4 mile on a paved road to the large gravel parking lot that is the

equestrian assembly area at Rattlesnake Bar. The parking lot has one outhouse, but no water for horses. The historic Pioneer Ex-

press Trail passes through here, so follow trail signs leading northward.

Pioneer Express Trail to Avery's Pond, about 1.2

miles

This trail bed is in very good condition. A 2,900-

foot segment of the trail at Milepost 47 was relocated and

rebuilt by California Dept. Parks & Recreation over a

period of several months in Spring 2010. The new route

avoids a steep cross-slope with a 80-foot drop to Folsom

Lake. The new trail was reopened on June 23, 2010.

Two new wooden bridges were constructed.

At left, boulders of quartz diorite of the Penryn Pluton of Cretaceous age. At right, a rolling grade-dip on the new trail-bed.

View along

the out-sloped

Pioneer Ex-

press Trail

near Milepost

47 and a new

timber bridge.

Approaching from the south, riders will see this wonderful stone water-

trough that continually spills outward, so it is nearly self-cleaning. The water-

trough runs continually from Winter to early Summer, but in drought conditions of

a severe Autumn, the trough may be seasonally dry. A timber bridge was con-

structed by Eagle Scout Paul Perkins in September 1994 as a Boy Scout project.

Beyond the bridge are blackberry vines, so please carry clippers and help clear the

trail of these brambles. The bridge crosses Avery Creek that descends from the

west side.

Avery's Pond

The historic pond was constructed in the 1880's by Ira Avery, a pioneer rancher with extensive orchards in this

area. The coordinates are 38.8302°North and 121.0915°West, with an approximate elevation of the pond surface at 530

feet, about 20 feet above the high-water shoreline of Folsom Lake. The pond was constructed probably by mule-drawn

scrapers with a east berm (above the river), and the west side is excavated into natural alluvium. The historic 1854

North Fork Ditch also traverses along the west side of the American River, and small diversion ditch provided water into

Avery's Pond. A number of seasonal floods eroded both the ditch and the pond, which were then repaired by earth-

scrapers and buckets of alluivum from the river. There were no bulldozers and dump-trucks 130 years ago! The pond is

lined with fine-grained alluvium (silt, clay, and fine sand), but it evidently leaked considerably.

Ira Avery, orchardist and rancher

Ira Avery came to the goldfields as a 15-year old boy from Maine. In 1874, he married the daughter of of a local

rancher, Seney Boles Avery, and they raised three children. Mrs. Avery was an educated pioneer lady and taught public

school for 12 years. Ira Avery had a diverse career as a supplier to the gold mines of the Mother Lode (principally lum-

ber and fruit, with some sheep ranching). Avery's ranch consisted of about 117 acres, of which 40 acres had 1,500 fruit

trees (pears, persimmons, cherries). Source: W.B. Lardner & M.J. Brock, 1924, History of Placer and Nevada Counties, Cali-

fornia: Historic Record Company, p. 567-570.

The key to the success of the fruit orchard was a year-around reliable source of water, Avery's Pond.

At left: There are six

picnic tables on the

north side of Avery's

Pond, and these also

have the best shade.

At right: A view east-

ward across Avery's

Pond, showing the

berm that separates the

pond from the Ameri-

can River (in far dis-

tance).

Horses cannot be ridden on the path on the west side of Avery's Pond because of a weak narrow timber bridge

at the inlet creek (=southwest corner). So picket your horse on the north side, eat lunch at the picnic tables,

then walk the full perimeter of the pond to gain the full views of the river. Avery's Pond is now a splendid

natural habitat for birds and wildflowers, and a great spot for horsemen to eat lunch along the Pioneer Express

Trail. Bring your own drinking water in your saddlebags. There are no outhouses, since this is a remote area

and not accessible for service trucks.

Thank you Bob, for your beautiful pictures and detailed reports every month.
