Do you have a favorite riding trail that you would like to share with fellow members of the Redshank Riders? Well, we are looking for “hosts” to share their favorite trail with us!
The host is in charge of choosing a trail, pre-riding that trail to make sure it is safe), choosing a time, date and meeting place (suitable for trailer parking), making a flyer (with help), managing a little paperwork, oh, and actually hosting the ride.
Host will need to identify the trail ride they are hosting with one of the following levels:
- Level I: Good for inexperienced riders/ horses. The terrain will be relatively level with no obstacles. Good exercise for out of shape horses and becoming familiar with riding in a group. Easy pace.
- Level II: This level is also recommended for an inexperienced rider and green horses. The terrain will be more demanding than level I with a few obstacles that can easily be crossed. Pace will be easy.
- Level III: This level is not recommended for the inexperienced rider/ green horses or out of shape horses. The terrain will be challenging and the pace quicker than level I-II. The obstacles will not be suited for green horses. However, the average rider and horse will have no problem with this level.
- Level IV: This level will be more suited for the advanced rider and horse. The terrain will be moderate - difficult at times. The obstacles will be safe for the calm experienced horse and rider only. Your horse will need to be in good physical shape and should be shod.
- Level V: This level would be considered advanced for horse/rider. The terrain will be moderate to difficult. The obstacles will be considered hazardous with an out of control horse. The pace will be steady, long and demanding at times. Your horse must be in top condition and be shod.
Many of the Board members are familiar with the local trails and can help you decide what level is appropriate for your ride.
