The El Bekal Mounted Patrol Unit is open to horsemen and helpers who enjoy parade activities such as smiling at the crowds of children along the route, carrying the American Flag, enjoying the company of fun-loving riders, improving horsemanship, and interacting with the well-being of patients at our Shriners Hospital for Children in Los Angeles. You are not required to own a horse and equipment to join the group. There is no fee or special requirements to join. If you want to learn about horses, any member would be happy to help. Free riding lessons are available for members and their family.

To join call the Shrine Office (714) 563-9111and they will give you the name and number of the Secretary.
