Copperside Stable Trail Rides wants to be in full oper- ation by next month and run until the end of September. Ivli offer supervised trail rides aimed at all levels of riders, explains Cris Leykauf who is running the business along with Lisa Hamer. The goal is to attract locals and is also aimed at tourists passing through the area dur- ing the summer months. ‘*Phere’ll be rides for begin- ners right up to people who are experienced, Some of the trails can be quite challeng- ing,’’ said Leykauf last week. The business is working out of Copperside Stables on Cop- per River Road. Leykauf and Hamer will have up to 10 horses available. One of their more challeng- ing rides is a four-hour jour- ney featuring a picnic lunch at students THE PROVINCIAL government last week announced its student employment program. Subsidies covering up to half a student's wage to a maximum $4 an hour are possible for those who qualify. There’s $3 million available across the province and it’s being allocated oti a first come, first served basis, says Jeri Lynn Wilkins of the skills, training and labour ministry. Demand for money pretty well met the amount allocated last year but there should be more in- terest this year, she said. That’s because the program was the halfway point. “The views are quite spec- tacular in addition to the expe- rience of a trail ride,’’ said Leykauf. Hamer has been conducting trail rides informally for the past couple of years but de- cided to make the business more formal this year because of demand. Leykauf and Hamer have spent the last while checking out some of the trails. “‘The horses will be kept in- terested because they'll be working up and down through different terrain. And we think the variety of the terrain will be appealing to riders,’’ said Leykauf of some of the longer journeys planned. Some of the shorter jour- neys, aimed at beginners, will last for an hour. Also featured during the summer will be horse camps for younger people. NEW TO the area is Copperside Stable Trail Rides and that's Daniele Billey on Honey, one of the horses that'll be available over the summer months, There'll be short rides and long ones. get provincial gov't boost announced a month earlier this time compared to 1993, allowing more people to hear about it.

Last year the closest organiza- tion to the northwest was located in Burns Lake but this year Northwest Community College in Terrace is handling the program for this area. Wilkins said organizations don’t make a lot of money by ad- ministering the program but do find it raises their profile.
