NATIONWIDE "RIDE FOR THE RESCUES" at Little Valley Horse Park

On June 13, 2010, something wonderful is going to happen....a ride in every state on the same day...all proceeds go to horse rescues and charities!  And...A WORLD RECORD WILL BE SET!

Trail riders from all over the USA will be mounting up on the same day, from coast to coast, in the thousands, to show their support for the horse rescues in America, and to set a new World Record. Riders will be competing in multiple ACTHA Competitive Trail Challenge's nationwide, all for one cause.  Riders and their mounts will be bringing attention and much needed funds to horses in dire need. Come join us, let's set a new World Record, and do something good together ! 

This event is our local part of the NATIONWIDE "RIDE FOR THE RESCUES" which  is an effort by thousands of horseback riders across the country to set a  GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the largest trail riding competition ever held AND to raise money for equine charities.  It is sanctioned by the American  Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA), and ACTHA points will be awarded  to the highest scoring horses.  So, participants can actually increase the  value of their own horses during this charity event.

All participants MUST register online at www.actha.us/index.php?option=com_association&view=guest&area=rides_events&Itemid=54&task=view_ride&ride_id=477

National and local sponsors have teamed up to donate great prizes for this  casual, untimed six-mile competition with six judged obstacles.  Scores are  given based on how well the horse and the rider complete each obstacle within  a fixed time limit.  There are three separate divisions eligible for awards :

Open (obstacles are more challenging)

Pleasure (less difficult obstacles)

Junior (7-15 years old; helmet & parental consent required; adult rider required to accompany)

Buddy riders may ride the trails, but will not complete the obstacles and  thus will not be eligible for prizes.

Prizes will be given out for 1-6 place in the Open, Pleasure, and Junior  categories.  All participants will receive a commemorative ribbon.

Sign up by selecting a ride near you!  Riders and their mounts will be riding to raise funds for rescues and equine charities that are in immediate need.  All proceeds are going to horse rescues and charities!
