RTR Fun Ride
March 24, 2009 by Capuce.
Rochester Trail Riders Group Ride!
Date: May 30th 2009
Time: 10am – we ride so come earlier
Location: Genesee Valley Greenway
Rt 20 Parking area
Trail: 6 miles round trip. Riding to the “Yard of Ale” and back
This trail is dry, wide and flat. Perfect for muddy spring rides. Because of good footing this ride will go even if there’s rain. The only way it will be canceled is due to Thunder and Lightning. I chose this location because the annual ride that the Greenway usually rides this route appears to have been canceled.
Please have the following forms with you or mail them to me before the ride. Remember you only have to give me forms once and they are good for the whole season!
Waiver_2009
Medical_2009(under 18 only if NOT accompianed by an parent/guardian)
I must have a copy of the waiver, coggins, rabies and medical (if applicable) on file before the start of any event.

Bow season opens 10/18/08
October 17, 2008 by Capuce.
Get out your sleigh bells and orange clothing tomorrow is the start of bow hunting season.
Be nice to the hunters and they will be nice to you.
Be prepared for your horse to spot a well hidden hunter before you will. I have had times where my horse refused to move forward and it wasn’t until I started talking out loud asking if anyone was there that a hunter spoke back and revieled his position.
Stay safe and have fun, it’s a beautiful time of year for the fall colors just don’t get hurt in the process.

Carlton Hill State Forest
September 3, 2008 by Capuce.
I just added CarltonHill State Forest to the Links Page.
Go down to Horse Friendly Trail Maps and click on Carlton Hill to see it’s location.
I have not had the opportunity to ride there yet. If any one has information about the trails please let me know. The little I know about the place is that the trails are great and long.
