BOISE, Idaho -- The Idaho Mustang Club will host a trail ride on June 9 at 10 a.m., through the Black Mountain Wild Horse Herd Management Area (HMA), just outside of Murphy. Black Mountain is one of Idaho’s six HMAs where wild horses roaming Idaho’s rangelands may be found. In the spirit of celebrating America’s Mustang, the ride is open to all equines and equestrians.
Participants are encouraged to bring water for their horses, beverages for themselves and a chair to enjoy a hosted BBQ that is to follow the ride. To have an accurate headcount for lunch, please RSVP to Becky at 208-463-0656 or idahomustangs2009@gmail.com.
The trail ride will begin from the Kane Springs parking area; from Highway 78, turn south onto Rabbit Creek road near Murphy, then follow the signs for about 5 miles to the parking area.
