Poker Run in New River

Poker Run

Over one hundred riders participated in a Poker Run in New River, AZ this weekend. Riders pick up five playing cards - starting at the beginning of the event, then add three more cards along the way, and get the final card when they come back to the arena at the end of the Run. The winner has the best hand, In this case at was a full house. Win or not everyone has a great day. These images tell the story from the signups to register for the event, to the close when there was a lucky winner. Riders and their horses came from far and wide to be part of the day. These “horse”people love being with their animals and see them as part of their family. People who attend these events, if they weren’t friends before, have become friends by the end.
