This Year's Cowboy Campmeeting Speakers
At this year's Cowboy Camp Meeting our speakers will be sharing their own personal insights on the benefits of having a quality relationship with our Heavenly Father. They will be telling us why and how God has made a difference in their lives. I am confident that the insights our speakers share with us this year will inspire and motivate us to make spending time with God a priority each day.
Tim Mayne: Bio on our evening speaker
Pastor Tim Mayne was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Christmas Eve, 1959. Sad to admit, he was born and raised a city slicker. After dropping out of high school, Pastor Tim finished at night school while working full time, then went on to Andrews University and received his degree in Theology. He met and married his wife, Bonnie Smith during his last year there; Bonnie is a Registered Nurse and together they have four children. Ministry began in the Casper and Douglas, Wyoming churches, where Tim learned it was preferable to wear cowboy boots to church. After completing Seminary studies during which their first child was born, Leadville, Colorado became home for a short time before the little family moved down the mountain a bit to Glenwood Springs and Rifle churches, and two more sons were added to his family.
Pastor Tim and Bonnie answered a call to serve as missionaries on Guam and then in South Korea, where their fourth child, a daughter, was born. They currently live in Roseburg, Oregon and have the privilege of working with the TurningPoint and Glide churches. They deeply love their family and enjoy life as grandparents of new little William and Amy. Any free time may find them with something good to read, a good song, and a quiet evening. Pastor Tim likes the horsepower found both in horses and motorcycles.

IMPORTANT: Certified-Weed Free Hay + Vet Checks for All Out of WA State Horses
Certified weed-free hay is required at Mt. Adams Horse Camp. This is a requirement for most all of the National Forest horse camps so this shouldn't be a surprise. Because it is hard to find early in the season and can be very expensive you may want to take alfalfa pellets, alfalfa cubes, or some other complete feed in a bag. You would be wise to start feeding it gradually at home a day or two before going because a sudden change in diet, along with other factors, may cause a horse to colic.
A veterinarian check for EHV-1 is currently being required by the Washington State Vet. Office for all out of WA state horses this summer. If you have any questions, you can call them at 360-902-1878.
"Competitive Trail Challenge" On Thursday (New Event)
We are trying something new this year. Why let the children have all the horseback fun?
"Competitive Trail Challenge" rides have been growing in popularity all over the country so we decided to give it a try. These events vary greatly around the country and ours will not be an official event for their organization, but it will give you an opportunity to try it. It should be a blast!
A complete list of instructions and rules will be handed out at the meeting Wednesday night.
The following is an overview.
- The marked trail will cover 5-7 miles and will take 2-3 hours to complete.
- Riders must be 14 years or older.
- All riders must sign a liability waiver.
- Registration will be after the Wednesday night meeting.
- Riders will be started every 3-5 minutes.
- It will be a timed event, but it is not a speed event. The time on the trail will be used only to break a tie in points. Nothing faster than a trot is allowed.
- Judges will be positioned at six "obstacles" placed along the trail. Your horse will be judged on performance and the rider will be judged on equitation.
- All the obstacles will be challenging but safe. You do not have to try the obstacle if you don’t want to (of course you will not get the points for that obstacle either).
- A companion or "buddy" can ride the course with you but cannot go through the obstacles.
- Prizes will be awarded to honor good trail horses and excellent horsemanship!
- Observers may obtain a map so they can go to certain intersections where they can observe the contestants going through an obstacle.
