Judged pleasure ride a great success!

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!!

For those of you who are riding in the Judged Pleasure Ride - please arrive in time to be READY TO RIDE OUT AT 10 a.m..  This isn't a paper chase so, rather than allowing you to show up anytime and ride out, we will be sending you out in groups every 5 minutes.  The ride should take you about 2 hours if you walk the whole thing.  Our game after the ride will take an hour, so the sooner we can get everyone out the better.  


Speaking of the game after the ride - you have a chance to claim some of the over $200 worth of prizes we have for you if you choose to participate!!

Judged pleasure Ride

It is almost time for our  Judged Pleasure Ride this Sunday, October 19.  This fun event is taking place near Unionville, and will take horses and riders over the beautiful countryside of southern Chester County and Cheshire Hunt country.  Several interesting obstacles await to test your mount's skills  while you are riding our trail.  Please be aware that ALL obstacles are voluntary and you are free to choose not to participate in one or all of them. However, if you do choose to, you will accumulate points which will determine the winners of each division.  Divisions will be finalized depending on entries received.  There will be at the  minimum a Purebred Arabian , a Half-Arabian and  a Non-Arabian Division (Others).  Divisions with regard to gender of horse are probable.  Only Arabians and Half-Arabians will be eligible for Ride Champion and Reserve Champion.  


After the Pleasure Ride, we will have an additional game (voluntary of course) that we will describe at the Ride Briefing. (Great prizes can be won!)  In addition, we will have our Weiner and Marshmallow Roast. Yum! Good times are usually had by all! 


It looks like (knock on wood) that the weather is going to cooperate!  Don't forget to bring a chair and WATER FOR YOUR HORSE! 


In the event that you do not wish to stay until the Awards ceremony, please know that we do not mail ribbons. So, please have someone that can accept for you!
