[Nfbc-info] additional info on horseback riding and lunch on sat, april 28

[Racquel Decipeda]

Hello folks, 

 

For those who had already RSVP and who are still considering joining us on
Saturday, April 28, for the horseback riding event, please see below for
additional information and directions to the horse rental location.         

 

Please do your best to arrive by 9 am; no later than 9:30. We need to get
settled and be saddled up. I'm sure that includes being fitted for the
horse. RSVP will be very much appreciated so we could let them know in
advance. It is actually noted below. 

 

The ride is for an hour, but also advised to allow up to one hour extra just
in case. Right after the ride we will all go across the street to Viva Fresh
Mexican Grill to have lunch. You may know of some friends and family that
may not be interested to go horseback riding, but they could certainly join
us for lunch to mingle. Again, please let me know how many are joining for
lunch so we could advise the restaurant to expect us. We're estimating we
will be done for lunch by 1:30 - 2 pm. So you could have Access Services or
whoever will be picking you up to pick you up at the restaurant around that
time. 

 

Directions to the horse rental: 480 W. Riverside Dr. is the same location
for the L A Equestrian Center. That's one landmark you can use. 480 is a big
sign so the driver shouldn't miss it. Turn into the driveway as if you're
going to the Equestrian Center, then turn left on the first parking lot.
Drive till the end of that lot. There should be a sign that says "horse
rental." If you will need further directions, please keep 818-457-9449
handy. I've already made sure with ASI that this address is marked correctly
in their system. So hopefully that will help. 

 

Okay, below are some things to make note of.
