The San Vicente Saddle Club Horse Social Hour: Saturday, Sept. 28, 2 – 7 pm

September 18, 2024

Join the San Vicente Saddle Club for their first-ever Horse Social Hour, a fun-filled day for the whole family featuring games, raffles, vendors, pony rides, and delicious food, with all proceeds supporting the local horse community.

The San Vicente Saddle Club is excited to announce our first-ever Horse Social Hour! Bring a friend, your kids, your horse, and a chair for a day of fun. We welcome people of all ages—there’s something for everyone. Even our Honorable Mayor, Tim Connelly, will be there with some exciting announcements.


Families are encouraged to join the festivities! Ride your favorite horse while the kids enjoy a coloring contest or board games. Dads, test your aim with horseshoes or cornhole (courtesy of Red, Whites, and Brews). Capture sweet moments with mini pony Bella, who loves meeting the kids.


Satisfy your cravings with pizza from the Nomadic Pizza Trolley or baked treats from Cedar Rose Cafe. Our vintage popcorn machine will also be running—just one dollar a bag (or one ticket).


Tickets are only a dollar each and can be used for popcorn, games, pony pictures, or raffle prizes. We’ll also have a tack sale, with a variety of vendors and crafters showcasing their goods. Don’t miss Kahoots’ giveaways, which your pets will love!


This fundraiser supports the San Vicente Saddle Club, with all proceeds going back into the local horse community. The Ramona community has been incredibly supportive, and we can't wait to see everyone for a day full of fun!
