Summer Trail Rides

Jul 21st, 11 / Comments Off

The rides are on Saturdays and are every weekend in August.  Please note – the fee for adults has gone up to $25.  The trail rides are important fund raisers for the hunt as well as a great opportunity to leg up your horses and see friends.  Hope everyone can make it.  We’re hoping to have opportunities for jumping.

UPDATE 7/28

News flash.  Thanks to some eagle-eyed ODH’ers, we were informed of ongoing construction (ie closure) of the bridge on North Poes Rd.  We have revised the ODH flyer and changed the first trail ride.  Drew Schaefer is graciously allowing us to now meet at his farm, Crest Hill, for the first ride on August 6th.  We are to park in the field, but close to the main road rather than going down near the barn as done in the past.

The UPDATED flyer with dates and information is here.
