Please dont judge SMTR on that one trail ride from years ago. PCF has hosted rides here since then with great success. That was an extraodinary day. We were swamped with downpours the night before...We cross the streams and bottoms here after rains with little to moderate difficulties. That morning I was SHOCKED to find a sea of riders showing up. At the before ride briefing I made sure the 90 some riders knew my concerns about the rains, creeks and hills. We already have very challenging trails here and we note that on the flier.
After a herd of horses in front, riders were going off trail or crossing were it wasnt marked to go around the punched mud.
This was where the couple on the Tenn walkers found their trouble...the area off to the right was taped off cause it is not crossable. But the fellow crossed there and found his horse in belly deep mud. I understand that they made it out with out injuries. We now have a bridge in that very location. MyGoldenHorse can tell you it took her years to talk me into having another organized SMTR ride.
Yall want to come over and go for a trail ride
After a heavy rain. (just dont bring 100 horses with ya.)
