- Please don’t postmark before the published date as I must ignore those apps, and I do get some postmarked before the published date. This ride is “first come…first accepted” and it is the only fair way to open the ride. We humbly thank you for your continued interest and support of this ride. Watch here for updates!
- Please read the entire site…if you still have questions, contact us.
- HEADS UP (HEELS DOWN!) I DO NOT KEEP AN EMAIL LIST- YOU MUST WATCH THIS SITE!!
- Breakfast WILL be sold on Sat and Sun mornings.
- Riders under age 18 MUST and WILL wear helmets. Helmets are recommended for all riders..it is a no-brainer! (Sorry- can’t resist that)
- Ticks are always a problem on the shore and this year is no exception. We use OFF! on our horses legs, nooks and crannies and mane AFTER a ride. Works Great!
- Coggins information please READ.

Alan and I just slept for 3 days and are now up and kicking! Hahaha. Thanks to all of our fantastic campers and riders and their very very nice horses! What a great success again for the Northampton Fire & Rescue ! So many of you donated extra money, bought tons of raffle tickets and supported us with your nice comments too. Hope to see you all on the May 5th Weekend for Spring 2018!
P.S. I was told that folks have been turned down by me by phone... please pass the word that for the last couple of years at least, we have gotten everyone in that wanted to get on our short waiting list. We are very grateful for the wonderful interest in our ride, and we strive to get all folks in who express interest.
Reminder: Helmets on anyone under 18, and no buddy seats! Our landowners are very strict about these two rules and we must comply. Thank you so much!
If you need me or Alan today, our phone numbers are on the trail info... or email me at courserfarmlane@gmail.com See u today or tomorrow! Safe travels !
