Information and Ride Documents

Ride Information

Schedule of Events

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.

Want to try Ride & Tie but never done it before?
Consider our 'How-to' Clinic!

'How-to' Clinic

Saturday August 10, 2024 @ Base Camp

 

Come and find out everything you’ve always wanted to know about the exciting sport of Ride and Tie, but didn’t know who to ask! Hear what it takes, check out the tack and gear everyone uses, learn some strategy, and see how easy it is to get involved.


This is a ground clinic, no horses required, but you’re welcome to bring your horse, we have plenty of parking and camping space. If you want to know if your horse is as interested in the sport as you are, bring him along and we’ll give you tips for making it happen. If we have enough horses around we can assemble some teams and practice on the trails near base camp.

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.
