CLUB RULES
​

Listed below are the rules we follow as a club member when trail riding.  Please invite others to join so we can grow as a club and meet other horse enthusiasts.

1.  Do not tailgate—Any horse will get upset with a strange horse on his tail; this may provoke them to kick.

2.  If you have a horse that may kick, put a red ribbon on his tail to warn others behind you to keep their distance.

3. Do not pass the trail boss without permission.  The trail boss knows the trails best, please respect his/her position.

4.  Stay with the group at all times.  You should stay close enough to the horse in front of you so that you can see his rear end at all times.  This helps ensure nobody gets lost.

5.  Only pass another horse at a walk.  If you run up behind or pass another horse, that horse may bolt or spook.

6.  Tie short—when tying your horse to a tree or the trailer, always tie the lead rope short.  If the horse gets his foot or head caught in the rope, it may cause a serious accident.

7.  Cross-tie your horse if possible.   This keeps him from chewing the bark off the trees, eventually killing them.

8.  Please refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages on trail rides.  Save the partying for back at the campground.

9.  If a problem develops on a trail ride, please inform an officer or board member so they can handle the situation.

10.  ​Always use courtesy and common sense.
