PLEASE NOTE: The registration/payment deadline for this event has now come and gone. I can add up to 4 additional people.

Your position on the waiting list is irrelevant at this point - whoever claims these spots and pays first will be able to attend.

What would be a better way to spend an autumn afternoon than riding a horse?

We will take a guided 1.5 hour ride on horseback through 100 acres of forested land, along the scenic Sturgeon River valley and the historic Athabasca Landing trail.

After finishing our ride, we will have a steak dinner and bonfire back at the ranch.

Only about a dozen people can take the guided ride at a time - however, if there is a lot of interest, I may add more people to the event. So, please don't hesitate to put your name on the waiting list! If we get sufficient numbers, we may even get a complementary hay ride!

Required Items to Bring:
Long pants/jeans
Closed-toed footwear
Warm sweater/jacket

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $23.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Sunday, April 28, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.

Notes:

- Registration is NOT COMPLETE until you've signed up and paid by the registration cut off date. The money must be in the EOC's possession by that date. No exceptions.
- When a minimum group size appears, this is to let you know that the event will be cancelled with refunds to those who have already paid, if the minimum number of registered participants is not met. For any events where EOC needs a minimum number of participants, there will be absolutely no refunds of money if you cancel.
