NANCI GABRI
I am Nanci Gabri and my husband and I moved to Foresthill because of the Western States Trail. We were up every weekend running the trails training for Western States 100 mile run. I completed the run 2 times.
The Robie Cup Recipients
Update: Both LS Steele Breeze and Monk received the coveted Robie Cup after successfully completing the 2019 ride!
“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Help Preserve the Historic Western States Trail
A primary mission of the Western States Trail Foundation is to preserve the historic route taken by Paiute and Washoe Indians, Gold Rush explorers, Comstock hopefuls, and Express Riders of the Wells Fargo and Adams Express Companies. Today this route provides us with rewards of exploration, challenge, accomplishment, wilderness, nature and a bolstering of spirit for horsemen, hikers and runners alike.
