Please inform your Trail Boss if you are new to that level of Trail or have any concerns. We can buddy you up where appropriate.
Arrive early enough to be mounted and ready to ride at the appointed departure time.
A pre-ride meeting will be held to go over the plan for the ride, ten minutes prior to ride be ready for meeting (leave horses at trailer).
When parking horse trailers, leave room for others to park and tie up. If possible “Horse Pool” especially when parking is limited at our designation.
Have your Parking Fee (if applicable) ready.
Check to make sure tack is in good working order and is secure prior to heading out on the trail.
Do not allow your horse to “say hello” by touching noses or sniffing each other. We all know horses can strike, wheel, kick or rear, and riders can be hurt in the process. This is also a biosecurity issue.
If your horse is prone to kick out, please put a red ribbon on tail allowing other members to recognize and keep a good distance.
Please ride single file.
Do not ride too close to the rear of the other horse. You can’t see where you are going and it will create an issue.
Many rides will have lunch on the trail. Pack food and water and a recommendation is a halter to be able to tie your horse off at lunch.
Clean up any manure, hay, and/or trash at your vehicle before you leave.
