Rose Bowl Riders

You'll be assigned to whatever task we need the most help with.

Around stalls, arenas, etc... Mustard, Nettles and foxtails all need to be pulled up by the root.

Provide the breakfast spread starting at 8am

Move all trunks to sweep and vacuum floors. Move all items on upper shelf to vacuum. Fill in any holes/cracks with spray foam insulation.

Move all feed cans to sweep (or vacuum) floor and clean off all can lids. Sweep spiderwebs from walls and ceiling.

Replace 2 benches that have rotting ends on picnic tables near the clubhouse. There is an already-painted plank between the grandstands and the stack of poles by the main arena that looks long enough to cut two benches from. Tools needed: saw, screwdriver and other wood tools. We have paint and brushes for touch-up.

Organize jump equipment stored by lower arena. Trash anything broken or past repair.

Remove rock/log borders so tractor may level. Ensure the middle section is low enough for water to drain to trench and not puddle between Whisky and Hank. See: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GZDaFgMJ087VE2Ii5DC5n17Z_c8slpX3

Toss items past date, clean water dispenser, de-ice freezer, organize contents.

Rake up debris that has collected around stall perimeters. Level areas and remove rocks as needed.

Level and straighten stall mats in aisles and at tie rails. Level any holes (fill squirrel holes w/ rocks) in aisles and at tie rails.

1. Carefully cut down a few small, dead Cottonwood trees along the north fence line. Need to be careful not to upset the horses in nearby stalls (some may need to be moved temporarily). People who do this must be familiar with and safe using a chain saw. Tools needed: chain saw, regular saw, loppers. 2. Trim up/ back Oak tree branches hanging on top of stall shelters at both upper and lower levels – per Anna Armstrong's instructions, please (there are limits on the size of branches we can cut). Also, KT may want to weigh in on how much to cut back over her lesson horses’ stalls. It’s hand work so hopefully no horses will get upset and need to be moved, but we should monitor. Tools needed: loppers, hand clippers, ladder. 3. Cut back branches on the dead Oak tree, east fence line at lower level by lesson horse stalls (tree is on the other side of the fence). Again, KT may want to weigh in on this, but the City wants to remove as much dead wood as possible on our side to reduce the fire hazard. Chain saw work required – only people who know how to use one safely, and horses may need to be moved. Tools needed: chain saw, regular saw, loppers.

Replace light bulbs in feed room, hay room and barn fridge.

Paint inside of cross tie area in historic barn with gray paint (provided).

Fill 6 barrel planters with soil and re-plant 2 jade plants by clubhouse. Tools needed: shovels

Plant natives on both sides of the entry drive, and the lower-level planter along the east fence line. All plants are 1-gallon size, so they don’t require huge holes. Tools needed: shovels, hand trowels, rakes.

Remove large branches (over 1” diameter takes too long to decompose) from the composter and move to the brush pile for City pickup and recycling. Tools needed: wheelbarrow.
