Lava Beds National Monument
Treasures of Indian history
30 Miles from Tulelake, Californiia and 58 miles from Klamath Falls, Oregon. Watch for signs on California 139, 5 miles sourth of Tulelake and 26 miles north of Canby
Here is where a formation of lava tubes was the result of very hot fluid lava issuing from cracks of fissures on moderate slopes. As the lava flowed it began to cool and solidify on the top and sides. The confirming crust insulated the molten lava as it continued to flow.
Some 200 known caves suggest that volcanic turmoil produced the raw materials for the surface land. A vast array of lava tubes above and below the ground display evidence of having "blown their tops" from accumulated gas pressures . When the eruption ceased, the remaining lava drained away, leaving lava tubes. The caves formed did not have natural entrances. During their formation, the surfaces collapsed to permit entrance into the caves.
Horse and pack animals are permitted on backcountry roads and trails within the monument.
Exceptions: The trial to Schonchin Butte Lookout and all interpretive and cave trails.
Three Sisters Trail, Lyons Trail and Whitney Butte Trail are are all longer.
Horse riders should carry plenty of water. Summer days are hot and there is no surface water for animals to drink from. The terrain is rough. Leg protectors are recommended for horses and riders. Be alert for rattlesnakes on the trail. Horses should be sprayed completely, especially on the legs, with a fly and tick spray.
Camping in or within 50 yards of caves or in the vicinity of chimneys is not pemitted. Camping within 0.25 miles of roads, trailheads, and parking areas is also prohibited,. A 40 unit campground with sites suitable for tents, campers, and small trailers are available. For further info. call: 530-667-2282 ext. 232

A Wild Horse Safari In Oregon's Unique Herd Management Area
The wild horse herd managment area in Burns, Oregon is open for viewing and camping. The wilderness study areas cover eight colorful bands of wild horses scattered throughout the Palomino Buttes, Warm Springs, Kiger, Riddle Mountain, South Steens, heath creek, Alvord-Tule Springs, and Stinkingwater districts. All areas are undeveloped. Campers must be at least 200 feet from a water source. "Pack it in, pack it out" rules apply. so, drinking water, waste or disposal facilities may not be available.
The dominant stallion is the boss and he protects his band from danger. The band is led in its daily routine of grazing and watering by the lead mare. Wild horses are shy creatures and must be approached with caution. Wild horses run instinctively when in danger, but a stallion can show aggression when he fears his band is being threatened.
When searching for bands of wild horses, stud piles are the first sign of horse activities. These large piles of manure are territorial markings left by rival males. Recent horse activity is determined by the freshness of these piles.
Take along a pair of binoculars for viewing. A telephoto and wide angle lens are recommended for your camera. "Be patient"... you could the opportunity of a lifetime to see bands of wild horses in their natural enviornment.
Enjoy viewing the horses, but DO NOT attempt to chase them. For further infomation about the herds, their habitats and their districts, please call: 541-573-4400 or visit www.or.blm.gov/burns

Horse Health 
by Cheryl Henderson
Your horse's hooves may be hiding diseases and problems that could lead to death and injury. there are several preventable causes that destroy shape, function and well-being of the hoof, leaving it in a state of contraction.
What does contraction look like in the hoof? The most commonly seen contraction is in the heel area. The heel bulbs are squeeezed together by narrowing hoof walls. Generally this type of contraction is from leaving shoes on over the recommended 4 to 5 week reset.
When altered by negligent shoeing, poor trimming, and lack of movement, the capsule can become a crushing vise, bending the internal parts of the foot. The hoof can have walls with concussion rings, bruises, steep vertical sides, tight heel bulbs, frog atrophy, heels that are under slung and lameness.
All this reduces the hoofs shock absorption. Besides discomfort to the horse, we begin seeing damage to the internal parts of the hoof which affects the health of the animal. Contraction is restriction and restriction equals poor function.
Watch For Upcoming Clinics
"I studied and trained for two years and was certified in horseshoeing. Then, when I met Cheryl at the Klamath County Fairgrounds in Oregon two years ago, she taught me a concept that left me in absolute awe. Any hearts desire, Cheryl speaks in animation that allows anyone to grasp the natural bare hoof concepts. When you hear what she has to say, you will leave in absolute amazement."
