Trail:  Trails will be on crop fields and through some bush.  Sometimes riders will need to cross a gravel road but there is no riding on the roads necessary.  Footing is very bare-foot friendly.  Trails will be marked with ribbons and pie plates for ease of use.  Please always keep ribbons on your RIGHT.

Ride Camp: Camp is a huge hayfield.  footing is flat and there is lots of room to set up so feel free to space out.  Please ensure you follow instructions wen entering camp to ensure that you don’t interfere with the start, finish, vetting and crew areas (which will be signed).  Dogs are allows in camp if kept on a leash at all times.  Remember that not all horses are used to dogs so lets keep everyone safe!  Dogs are NOT allowed on the trails.  the hayfield stretches beyond camp and riders can use that open area to warm up or cool down their horses, but DO NOT go beyond the creek as that land belongs to a different landowner who has not provided us authorization to use their land.  On the north end of camp the land stretches until the lake.  Landowners have been extremely cooperative so please do not litter; take all garbage with you when you leave.  Hopefully we can use this land again in the future should we treat it with the utmost respect our landowners deserve!    RIDE CAMP OPENS FRIDAY, APRIL 19th AT 2PM.
