Argh - The Sunday ride: Lynden Farms

A

AMP

Jersey attitude.
Hi all - just got some info on the ride that I was planning to do this Sunday. It is at Lynden Farms, near SoMd College on Mitchellville ROad (off 301). That is up above Laplata

Registration is at 8:30 (coggins needed) and it is $12 to just ride, and $5 for each 'class' you want to do (I guess they have differnt judged trail stuff).

Non judged ride starts at 10:00, judged starts at 11:00. Trails are supposedly decent, not too wild. Only bad thing is parking - when it rains apparantly the lot gets verrryy muddy. That's why it was cancelled last time.

The little old guy at my barn is determined I should go on this one, so I guess I gotta find a way.

Anyone else interested?

I don't wanna PAY to ride, LOL....I'm a *cough*cheapskate*cough* especially considering my own trails are just as beautiful and can be as challenging depending on where you go :lol:
sorry :flowers:
Want to go to Greenwell? It's not far from my place, nice parking lot and picnic tables too.

I don't want to pay either, got no money!, but I got invited back before the cancelled one so if the Lyden (Linden?)ride happens, I should go.

Tell you what, if the ride gets cancelled and you guys go to Greenwell on SUnday, let me know what time - if I can find my way down there I will!

Greenwell is off the road that turns at the Burchmart off 235, Down towards Sotterly right Appy? Appy is bringing 2 friends, and I'll bring enough family that equals her 2 friends :lol:
Nice parking lot at Greenwell.

Usually have 8-10 judges out in the woods sitting at different obsiticles..ie bridge, stream, up hill, down hill, etc. Each judge scores you on each obsicle.

Example..

Bridge should walk to hesitate without stopping drop head and causiously walk over (faulted for refusing, stopping, or blundering over without looking)

Up hill..should walk with riders butt out of the seat and up on the horses neck. (faulted for head tossing, rushing, bolting up hill etc)

Down hill..should almost slide down on butt (faulted for tossing head, rushing, refusing etc)

Logs..walk overs..should go quiet and look at what they are doing (again no rushing, pissyness, or impatientness etc)

Hope this helps some.......................................

I see. Do any english riders ride in the judged portion? If so, are they judged by the same criteria as a western (Pleasure?) horse?

Just wondering, even though I already have saddle time planned for that day, it sounds like it might be a fun alternative sometime.
