Late Fall Trail Ride

October 26-November 1, 2008

Now here is an event that appeals to a true trail rider. Imagine riding down a wooded trail, suddenly you leave the forest behind as you pull onto a hill overlooking Cross Country Trail Ride. You are able to see for miles in all directions since there are no leaves to block your view. It is a remarkable experience and indescribable to those who haven't experienced it. You also might be witness to native whitetail deer jumping smoothly out of your way as they are startled from a feeding area by your presence or the flight of an eagle as you cross the clear water of the Jacks Fork or Current rivers. These things are experienced on a daily basis during this event. Average attendance ranges from 300-400 guests. We provide a noon meal cooked on the trail that will tempt anyone. Normal menu items will include jumbo fried shrimp, deep fried catfish, homemade vegetable soup and chili, homemade donuts, and much more. We cook on the trail each day Monday through Friday. While the temperatures can sometimes be a little cool the food makes your trip out on horseback well worth the effort! Average temperatures range from low 40's to mid 60's. We serve meals at camp in the restaurant and dances are held in our heated dining hall. With such a small group of guests we guarantee you'll know almost everyone by the end of the week. Guests enjoy this event so much they won't tell their friends about it for fear it will grow too large! If you're looking for some fun at the end of the riding season this would be a great time for anyone. The admission for the week is $220 per adult, $180 per child (6-11), $85 per child (3-5), and $10 per child (2 & under). Stalls are mandatory and rent for $15 per week. Your admission includes 3 meals per day, camping with electric and limited water hookup, a nightly dance with music provided by Jonesey, a horse and tack sale, and daily organized trail rides. Our organized trail rides are provided for your convenience, but are not mandatory. Feel free to ride on your own at any time. Reservations are accepted for this event, but are not required. The required deposit is $15 per stall and $5 per campsite. Reservations can be made by mailing the required deposit to the address shown below.
