Region: Pacific South,
California
Name: Lost Padres
50 I & II
Date: May 17 and
18, 2008
Directions: Will be provided to
registered riders by email.
Trail Description: The Santa Margarita
Ranch remains much as it was in the days of the vaqueros. The oak
studded hillsides give way to grassy pastures in the lower flat
lands. Some of the more fertile low lands have been converted
to vineyards. The entire ride takes place entirely on private
lands. The trails range from single track cow trails and two
track jeep trails to graded farm roads. The ranch is a
working cow outfit combined with a significant vineyard
operation. You will be expected to respect the ranching
operations and give way to their needs.
Important Notice: If you plan on entering this
ride, you need to enter early as a signed release MUST be received
back by us before we will send you directions. Absolutely
nobody will be allowed to attend this ride without confirmation of
their signed liability release first. You cannot just show up
at this
ride!
Ride Rules: AERC rules apply. The
management, unlike the AERC Board of Directors, is able to
differentiate between an endurance ride and an endurance race. If
you are into endurance riding you will probably enjoy this ride. If
you are a real competitor and are looking for a race you are likely
to find the lack of structure here to be an abomination. This is an
old time endurance ride like we used to have when you could print
all the AERC rules on a single page. Back in the good old days
we used to ride more and read less. Those were better
times.
Veterinarians: Dr. Kristen Mason, Dr.
Dave Nicholson and possibly others if we can find some who will work
cheap. Don't count on any expertise in the veterinary department,
just learn how to take care of your horse and keep out of
trouble.
Entry fees: None
Club Dues and
Assessments: $tbd per day for Eagle level members. This
covers camping fees, rider lunches and miscellaneous fees to help
the club put on the ride. Non AERC members add $15.00 per
day.
Meals: Annie and the Lunch Gang will provide
Lunches.
