Welcome to the Platte River Riders; Nebraska's Wednesday night riding club!

The Platte River Riders is a group of adult horse trail riders who meet every
Wednesday at a pre-designated trail.  The original chapters started in Lincoln &
Omaha and in 2007,  Platte River Riders Central & Platte River Riders North
started riding!

This Yahoo group is a way to communicate with other riders, find out about
weather cancellations & provide feedback on the night’s ride (my favorite!)  We
ask when posting to this list that courtesy is given to all who post.

When riding with the Platte River Riders, please follow these courtesy
guidelines:

1 ) Use good trail manners. if you don't know, ask.

2)  Be a good trail user. Many times we are on shared trails. Be respectful to
other trail users and follow all rules regarding that specific trail. Horse
trails are a privilege, not a right.

3) As a courtesy to other riders, please be sure your horse is up-to-date on
vaccinations. If your horse has been sick, it is suggested you wait 10 days from
last symptoms until joining the group.)

4) If your horse kicks, tie a red ribbon on his tail. If you are riding a green
horse or if you are a green rider, tie a green ribbon on his tail. It will alert
others to potentially dangerous situations. Stallions are allowed and should
sport a yellow ribbon on his tail. However, if an incident should arise between
a stallion and another horse (mare or gelding), the stallion will be asked to
leave the group.

5) This is an adult ride, so we want to have fun. But if you are going to change
the pace of your ride, please go ahead of the group or stay behind the group and
always tell the group of your intentions. Never run up on the group or another
individual rider if you have elected to stay behind.

6) Bring a shovel & clean up any manure left around your trailer before
departing the trail head.

7) If any ride is held in a public place which requires a park permit, you are
responsible for purchasing your own permit. If the ride is across the state
line, you are responsible for making sure your horse has the appropriate health
and Coggin's papers.
8) Do not litter. Pack out what you pack in.

9) No dogs. Sorry, we love them, too, but not all horses are accustomed to dogs
and many state parks do not permit them on horse trails. Its only for a few
hours... they'll understand.

10) There are no dues or memberships. This is just an opportunity to ride
together.

11) The ride should start promptly at 6:30 PM. It is not necessary to wait for
an organizer. Whoever is saddled & ready to ride is considered the group for the
night.

12)  If the trails are muddy and riding the trails will cause damage, it is the
policy of the Platte River Riders to NOT ride those trails.  Lets save it for a
better day!  These are "our trails".  If we abuse it, we will lose it!

Mostly by word of mouth.  One guy from Laurel said he hard about "these Wednesday night rides" but never knew how to find out where they were.   He saw Mark Sorenson (Mark has been riding with PRR north for 3 years now) and Mark gave him the schedule and called Rich yesterday with directions. 

The second gal is a member of the GS Club up here that Mark and I are members of.  It was nice to see Joan on the ride.  She is quite a "horse force" around Wayne, she may bring more riders yet into the PRR. 

The other two (I guess there were 4 new to PRR riders) are Terri's neighbors.  They heard about the rides through Teri that is having a horse trained at Terri's. 

The last few rides have included a guy from here at work that retired last year.  I have TRIED to get Tom on PRR rides for YEARS.  He retired last year and I kept sending him the PRR e-mails. I guess I FINALLY wore him down.  Now he loves the rides and I can expect a call from him every Wednesday "are we riding tonight?".  Brian found out about the rides from Tom.  It is so nice to have the regulars that you can count on.

I just hate to miss the rides anymore....it is such a social thing for ME!!  Lol!

I am going to take Gifford Point off of the Omaha rotation due to comments on
ticks, noxious weeds, etc.  Sorry I didn't get it posted before now.  Omaha ride
tonight will be at Cunningham.  Use the entrance of of Hwy 36 just West of 84th.
Thanks!!

Tonight's Lincoln PRR is at Wildwood Lake near Agnew, NE.  This
is a nice little lake ride that will take you all the way around
it.  As long as it stays light, we might be able to make it
around twice!  I'm looking forward to it!  Hope to see you there.

Wildwood Lake, Agnew. Take Hwy 79 to Agnew. Turn west on Agnew
Road. Go a little over 1 mile to reach NW 84th St. Turn north
and go about 1.5 miles. The entrance is at the top of the hill
on the west side. (Do not take Access Road 1)

Go on Hwy 4 toward Lawrence and turn on Rd 2400 where there is also a
Liberty Cove sign, then about 2 miles south, and there is also another
sign pointing you west to Liberty Cove.  The parking area is before you
get to Liberty Cove and I will put a sign there.  There are posts and a
ditch on the side of the road you need to turn into, so everyone just
needs to make sure and be cautious of that when turning.  Also there
will be quite a bit of grass in some areas, so just be cautious where
you drive.  There should be plenty of room to park, and we will ride
from there.

There is only a couple miles of gravel and they are good roads.

See you on Wednesday.

I tied several rope halter about 9 years ago and still had the directions from
an old Western Horseman Mag.  I got 100 feet of rope at TSC for $12.50.  It
takes 20' to make a halter so 5 halters can be made.  I also spent about 2 hours
trying to figure out how to make the fiodor knot under the chin that is in the
store bought halters.  I never did figure it out.  In the directions I have you
just tie an overhand knot. Anyone know how to do it??  Anita

Enjoy babe :)

Lol, at least you were prepared to spend time alone!  Sounds like you kept busy.  Cool that you made a rope halter.  Where do you get the rope you use for your halters? 

Sucks about the fence. Hope none of your horses got out or got hurt.  

That is a LOT of hay from 15 acres!

The Omaha riders outnumbered Lincoln for a change!  There were 6
of us on the LNK side:  Deryle & Nadine, John & I, Kathy and
Tanya.  Left Eagle at 6:30.  Did some clipping along the way -
some of branches on the trail were pretty low, so hopefully we
cleaned it up a bit.  When we hit 3.75 miles, we met the OMA
riders.  Bob B, Vic, Jess, Lori W, Tammy M & 2 friends, Renee,
Hylah & the former exchange student (I want to say Madonna but
know that's not right!!!)  They had went a little over 4 miles,
so the trail must be closer to 8 than 7 miles.

The ride out of Eagle is mostly in the trees.  Pretty much a
beginner type trail but some nice areas you can move out. And
very, very pretty.  Hope those of you in the area take advantage
of that nice trail.  It was almost completely grown over last
year & the Kathy asked the NRD to clear it when complaints from
bikers came in re riders on the limestone.  They were on the
limestone because they couldn't get thru the horse trail.  So
the NRD did a nice job of clearing it last winter.  More use
will keep it naturally open.

The NHTC is also working with the NRD in clearing Elmwood to
Wabash.  I think there is a clearing day in Sept.

I rode Blue, John rode Butter.  Blue was a bit tenderfooted on
the way back. :(  There were fireworks going off in Eagle that
caught the horse's attention.  But none of them broke stride;
just watched the skies and moved along.

LOL! You'd think I'd get that straight one of these days!  I will be at
Powderhorn with you guys!  Maybe I will bring Arron and Ginger/  He rode her at
the barn last night and had a wonderful ride.  He even sidepassed! They trotted
beautiful circles and figure eights, I was really proud of both of them.

mobile now, but can't into my truck.  So I went and borrowed my brother's 197?
buick.  It was kind of a hoot tooling around in it.  The AC worked GOOD.
