The trail ride will be approximately 5-6 miles long, consisting of mild to moderate terrain, pretty soft footing with not much rock, nice wide trails winding through large hardwood forests, with two creek crossings, some open pastures (please stay to the edge of all fields in the pasture sections). All turkeys can be spotted from horseback and captured with your phone/camera. No need to dismount unless you are truly dedicated to the scavenge.
There are three divisions:
🦃Open Season: Prize for the person who finds the most turkeys along the trail.
🦃Tailored Turkey: Prize for the person with the most theme appropriate dress.
🦃Turkey Trot: Prize for the person who rides closest to optimum safe time.
No dogs please.
Helmets are required for all AAHC events with horses.
Can’t ride but want to come hang out and help?
We would LOVE to have a few Volunteers between 8:30AM-3PM on the day of the event.
If you have a couple of free hours, come hang out, help out, and enjoy lunch with us!
Please reach out to Athensareahorsecommunity@gmail.com to volunteer.
