- The Trail Boss and Drag Rider are ride supervisors. For the sake of safety and comfort, they have the final say.
- Stay on the trail between the Trail Boss and the Drag Rider. If you need to leave the ride or trail, notify a ride supervisor.
- If the Trail Boss is a nonmember (landowner), DO NOT ask to ride ahead. All guidelines still remain.
- Keep with the ride pace. Do not race past others or lag behind.
- Fight erosion and stay on trails (no shortcuts).
- Do not stop on narrow trails or at the top of a steep hill until it is safe for all riders.
- Pass on the left at a walk or trot after asking permission.
- Maintain a safe distance between horses.
- Be considerate at watering places. Cross downstream of drinkers at a slow pace.
- If your horse has a tendency to kick, tie or weave a red ribbon in the tail.
- Stallions should have a yellow ribbon in the tail.
- Horse abuse will result in being excused from the ride, as will ill-mannered or uncontrollable horses.
- Horses should be tied securely, short enough to prevent a step-over or roll. Keep reasonable distances among horses. Tie only to a fixed object or a 6-inch or larger living tree.
- No riding bareback.
- No riding double
- No ponying horses without their riders.
- No smoking when mounted. Filters must be carried out with the remainder extinguished and buried.
- All refuse must be carried out. Better yet, improve our country and carry out more than you carried in.
- Pick up and pack out your horse manure from your trailer area.
- For safety reasons, we ask that riders wear boots with heels – no tennis shoes
- Dogs are not allowed on rides.
- Members are responsible for conduct of guests.
- All members are responsible for getting themselves and their horses to and from organized rides.
- These events are supposed to be fun. Please bring your manners with you. Courtesy for other horses and riders is expected at all times.
