of the ride. Riders should pack appropriate clothing (including rain gear) and be prepared to
ride in adverse weather conditions. Riders under 16 are to be accompanied by an adult. All riders are required to have their horses loaded and ready to depart by the daily scheduled start time each morning. Ending time will vary based on length of ride and daily conditions. Some wagon space will be available for those interested. “Wild Rags” will be available for purchase. Coffee will be available each morning, and a snack or two may be available as well.
