We had a great day for our ride, although a bit cold and windy. We ended up with a few more riders than we planned on, but it all went well. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the majority of the horses did really well at the obstacles! In fact, most horses were more startled by our judges or their chairs or a mud puddle than any planned obstacles! Too funny! We had a Trick or Treat for treasures hidden on the property after the main ride, but most people were ready to get off their horses and cook hot dogs and marshmallows and socialize than participate. Which was fine with us - we wanted everyone to enjoy themselves.
We did have a small problem with someone (non-rider) moving the trail markers at a critical spot, which led to a few riders getting temporarily lost. Oh, and perhaps a foxhunt caused a few anxious moments for some as well. We didn't know it was going to be going through there. All in all, however, it was a great day and thank you again to all of our riders and volunteers! Thank you to ChesLen Preserve also for allowing us to use their beautiful property!!
