More Mesa Trail Ride CANCELLED!
The More Mesa Trail Ride in Santa Barbara previously scheduled for Sunday, September 27th has been cancelled. Unfortunately, logistics for a number of horse trailers and a safe place to prepare for the ride are not available. Lack of trailhead trailer parking has been brought to the attention of the Santa Barbara County Trails Council and the County Riding and Hiking Advisory Committee. When the property is acquired for public use, trailer parking will be one of the design elements considered in the future.
