We have many breeds of horses in the club, and all rides are led as a group at a walk.  This frequently means that the faster horses must slow down a bit, and the slower horses goosed to speed up a bit. Those wishing to ride at a faster pace are asked to talk to the trail boss, who can tell them when to move off without causing a tizzy in the main group.

Guests are welcome. It helps when we know to expect you. Please introduce yourself to the trail boss upon arrive at the trail head; you’ll need to sign a hold harmless before riding.

Please be ready on time! The time stated is for the actual start of the ride rather than members’ arrival time.  We feel this is more respectful of people’s time, and everybody knows exactly when they have to be in the saddle. We ask that people let the trail boss know when they plan to come; if we have to change or cancel the ride, we’ll know who needs to be notified.
