The first herd arrives mid-May. Session #1 (Herd #1) will start on Monday, May 20th, and run for four weeks. Remember, the cattle sessions do not follow a calendar month. They follow when a new herd arrives.

Yes, cattle events are member only. Head over to www.PetalumaRidingClub.com and click on "join now". Get your application in by the next Board Meeting and plan to attend the General Meeting that month to get voted in. This is for senior members. Junior members need to visit: https://sites.google.com/.../petaluma-junior-riding.../home   You can also join at an event and become a provisional member to participate that night, but need to then go to a General Meeting to get voted in.
