Previous Equestrian Christmas Toy RidePresident of Equestrian Trails, Inc. Corral 138 Kimberly Dwight has been participating in the drive for the last six years with the Corral’s annual Equestrian Christmas Toy Ride.

Corral 138, also knon as the Barrel Springs Riders, meets at the Barrel Springs Arena in Palmdale, using trails throughout Acton and the Antelope Valley.

The seventh annual Toy Ride is coming up on Saturday, Dec. 14, open to ETI members and nonmembers.

There is no cost to join, but all riders must bring an unwrapped toy to donate to the Fire Department.

The ride starts in the arena across from the Vincent Hill Station Restaurant and Saloon on Sierra Highway in Acton, and all participants must be in the saddle by 10 a.m., according to Dwight.

The ride will last between two and three hours.

Dwight was inspired to organize the charity ride because “people are generous at Christmas time, and we wanted to help kids,” she said.

Over the years, Dwight said that they typically have between 25 and 40 riders at a time and have collected hundreds of toys.

This year, non-ETI members should remember to arrive early to fill out waiver and single event membership forms.
