Horse council picks up trash at Highland Springs

LAKEPORT, Calif. – A small herd of members of the Lake County Horse Council turned out for trash pickup along their newly adopted section of Highland Springs Road this past Saturday.  

Four members with carts pulled by miniature horses and ponies drove the four-mile circuit from the dam parking area westward to the Toll Road and back while eight horseback riders focused on several areas known for chronic, illegal dumping of trash.

The Lake County Horse Council Board of Directors approved the road adoption as part of their continued efforts to give back to the area.  

A grant from AQHA and Tractor Supply made possible important trail preservation work at Highland Springs this spring.

Considerable numbers of Lake County equestrians frequent the popular Highland Springs trails including the Hooves and Wheels Driving Club, which also maintains trails on several acres of open range on the Highland Springs property.
