We do have a few rules to keep everyone safe.

• ALL AERC RULES APPLY. 
• We are next to a highway please watch your animals and cross with caution.
• This is a family friendly and inclusive event open to all. All are welcome. Unkind, disrespectful, rude or mean behavior directed to any person involved in the ride will not be tolerated and will result in immediate disqualification and denial of entry to future events.
• Dogs on leash at all times. Please don't bring extra animals unless there will be someone in camp to attend to them.

• Bridles are required (bitless bridles ok). Breast collars are strongly advised due to the hill-climbing portions of the ride.

These rules may be changed and added to before the race.
