Saturday Evening: There will be a potluck dinner on Saturday evening prior to the awards presentation. For those wishing to join us please provide a dish for the table. Ride Management will not be providing a main dish for this event.
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 when 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 let’s keep everyone safe! Dogs are NOT allowed on the trails or vet check/pulsing/timing areas. 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, SEPTEMBER 27th AT 2PM.
