About the Ride
The Bill Thornburgh Friends and Family ride is intended to capture the spirit of “To Finish is To Win” and have a fun time doing it! The majority of the ride is on flat power line or jeep roads with good footing and very few rocks. Plenty of horse water and hay are provided at checkpoints along the trail. Saturday there are three distances available - 9 mile intro ride, 30 miles or 50 miles. If you have enough qualifying rides and are competing in the 50 mile ride on Saturday, you can also cross enter in to the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) Region II Championship Ride. On Sunday there are two distances available - 25 miles or 50 miles.
