Trail Riding Events

2022 - Dates Still In-Work

Two prize rides will be held in 2021. The Easter Prize Ride in April was a fun, successful event. All trail riding events are held at Bridle Trails State Park.

We are modifying the process for the prize rides in 2021 due to the pandemic. The process will change in the following ways:

Only online registration, payment and waiver signing will be possible. Online registration will close on or before Thursday, August 26th so that we can prepare for the event.
Instead of staffing stations along the trail, drawing numbers at each station, etc., riders will purchase either one raffle ticket or as many as three raffle tickets.
To avoid handling of paper raffle tickets, the prize ride team will assign raffle ticket numbers to participants during online registration and the prize ride team will draw winners the night before the event.
Prizes will be limited to a variety of gift cards. During registration participants will be asked to identify the types of cards they are interested in. Prize ride team will package the gift cards in envelopes with winner's names and will pass out the prize as riders start out on their ride.
Ride times will be scheduled in designated time periods that space people out. Please try to not arrive more than one hour before your ride time.
Riders will then have a wonderful trail ride along a marked trail with trail markers always on your right.
Riders will return to the registration area to let us know you arrived back.
For Equine & Vines, wine will be available for purchase after the ride and some pre-packaged snacks will be provided. For Covid safety we will be selling small, individual bottles of wine for $4.00 a bottle.
Masks may be required when not on horseback, it will depend upon the rules at the time and the risk involved for staff and attendees.
No dogs, stallions, carts or ponying of rider-less horses allowed.
