The Old Dominion Cavalry Ride
The Cavalry Ride is unique to the Old Dominion ride and serves to encapsulate the ride's founding history from the very first ride in 1974 and throughout the decades up to the rides today.
100 miles, one horse, one rider, no assistance.
We acknowledge and salute the many riders who have taken and will take up the challenge to ride in this division, who exemplify the true meaning of "endurance".
Riders must declare their intention to compete for the award before the ride start.
There is no fee for registering.

Parking Guidelines
PLEASE NOTE: ALL equine entries in all our rides, without exception, are to be wearing four shoes, or an equivalent hoof protection (which include boots or glue-ons) at the start of the ride. The mountain trails on which our endurance competition takes place can be exceptionally difficult to strap-on boots, so we strongly suggest you might want to consider gluing any boots on.
All competitors and their crews are advised to please review the most current AERC Rules, especially if competing for the 1st time.
Directions
Coming from the North on I-81 South, take Exit 273 (Mt. Jackson), take a right at the top of the ramp onto Mt. Jackson Rd. Go to the T, take a left onto Rte 614 for 1.1 miles, then a right (west) onto Rt 263 (Orkney Grade). Stay on 263 for about 11 miles, taking it slow on the winding, downhill grade as you enter Orkney Springs. As the grade levels out, take your first left onto Happy Valley Road (there’s board fence on your left as you approach the turn, and a cluster of white buildings directly beyond the turn). Go ½ mile; turn right at right hand bend in road, go to the end of the base camp field and turn left into the driveway to camp.
Coming from the South on I-81 North, take Exit 269 (to avoid traffic in Mount Jackson), turn right off exit ramp and then left onto Rte 11 North, continue about 2 miles, then turn left onto Rte 263, following this road about 11 miles taking it slow on the winding, downhill grade as you enter Orkney Springs. As the grade levels out, take your first left onto Happy Valley Road (there’s board fence on your left as you approach the turn, and a cluster of white buildings directly beyond the turn). Go ½ mile; turn right at right hand bend in road, go to the end of the base camp field and turn left into the driveway to camp.
