Trail Ride The All Kidding Aside rides will again be held in
beautiful Paint Creek State Park.
Camp is primitive, with little shade. Horse and people
water is in camp. No electric at press time, but we've got our fingers
crossed. Picket lines are available at some sites. Electric corrals are
permitted, but you may be asked to keep them small if camp is crowded.
Donuts and coffee, tea, cocoa, etc will be served both mornings as well as
Saturday evening chili. Somebody remind me to put out the crackers this
year!
Luau this year!! Prizes for best Hawaiian shirt, grass skirt, and use of coconuts!!
Trails are over gently rolling hills with just a few
short, steep climbs. For you R&Ters, there are plenty of trees close
to the trails and a hitch rail at the bait shop.
Proof of negative Coggins test will be required for all
out-of-state horses. You are responsible for knowing the rules. A copy will be
available at the ride.
