Spam, like ubiquitous 3rd class mail and telephone solicitors, is a tedious reality of the current advertising climate and is not going away any time soon. Internet-wide the volume of spam has increased over 200% in the last year alone and will continue to grow until anti-spam laws are passed that have some real teeth in them. Within the next two months we will launch our new database-driven Classifieds featuring the spam-busting tool 'BAEN Mail'. In the meantime, learn how to avoid spam in our Tips On Avoiding Spam.

Exploring all the Internet has to offer can be great fun and very profitable, but it pays to have some "street smarts".  We encourage visitors to report and suggest ways to avoid Internet scams, share their own experiences with scammers, and provide links to other helpful sites on this topic. Please see latest info on the "Cashier's Check" / "African Buyer" / "Overseas Buyer" Scam.

New Column - Bay Area Trails. It's hard to imagine when one is sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on Bay Area freeways or creeping along at speeds slower than a snail's pace that just beyond freeway sound walls and backyard fences, there are located some of the most beautiful and accessible equestrian trails in the Nation!   Around the San Francisco Bay there are over 1200 miles of trails that horsemen can ride, and outside the SF Bay Area trails are tucked into city, county and onto state parks and federal lands. Beginning this month, "Bay Area Trails" will be a regular feature on BAEN. Each article is written by Bonnie Davis who has personally ridden (and in some cases advocated for, helped build and maintain) the trails she writes about. Each article will highlight a trail or a park with trails open to horseowners along with trail head locations, maps of trails, trail users, hours, etc.  If you'd like to recommend a trail for Bonnie to review in future articles, please write to her; all suggestions are welcome.

Stolen Saddles: Bayridge Farm located in Los Angeles was robbed on August 10th or 11th.

If you have any information regarding these items please contact us at rswan1@socal.rr.com.  Thank you!  West Hills. 8/29

For those of you seeking old horse-friends, I found mine and I'd like to offer the following advice: contact all local veterinary offices and auction yards with a photo of the horse-they usually have bulletin boards & even if they don't know the horse one of their clients might. It worked for me! Also, if the horse is registered most registries will give you the current owner's info. Try Gymkhana associations, endurance groups, horse show associations and look in the phone book for trainers & private barns if you know the area in which the horse might have gone. Good luck! harleynhoofs@cs.com  Bakersfield. 8/27
