Enjoy babe :)

On Animal Planet there is a show called Wild horse redemption, about convicts working with BLM mustangs.  Looks like it may have been a documentary about a prison in Colorado.   Each convict is given one mustang to work with for around 80 days.  Some of horses they are putting the first rides on them in 30 days.  Pretty amazing the bond these men have with the wild animals that they work with.  The trainer that is in charge of the program is pretty awesome too.  Some of the mustangs are very nice looking

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!

On Saturday, Nov. 21, the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee is hosting our annual game day fundraiser at 3V Stables near Ashland.  Registration begins at 11:00; Games begin at 1:00.  Along with games, we will be having a silent auction and will be drawing the winner for the snow blower raffle.  (Get your ticket!)

It's not just about speed this year!  Since this game day is hosted by trail riders, we thought it would be fun to include some games of skill in the line-up; keeping in mind what horses are asked to do on a trail.  So bring your good trail horse & come play!  Rain or Shine!  Following the game day will be 3V Stable's annual bon-fire party.  Bring a pot luck dish and sit around the fire! 

Feel free to forward to your friends!

.

The following is a list of our classes.  May be subject to change.

Registration fee is $10 plus $1 per class.  Please indicate below the classes you plan to enter. 

Items to Note:  Classes 1 – 6 are games of skill.  The riders will be judged on their skill of handling the horse through these challenges and the willingness of the horse to perform the assigned tasks.  The time it takes will be a tiebreaker.  The judge reserves the right to ask a rider to continue the game without completing one of more skills for the sake of time.  It is requested that a rider have complete control of his or her horse.  Where noted, a rider will have 30 seconds added to his time if the horse crosses the foul line when coming back through the finish line. 

Games 7 - 10 will be offered in Walk Trot OR Speed.  Riders entered in Walk / Trot will be DQ'd is they break gait.

Note:  There will be a series of challenges within each class.  The description below does show each maneuver in each class, but more what the judge will be looking for as you go thru the course.
