Competitive Mounted Orienteering is a wicked fun timed event during which you find 5-10 markers using a map (provided), and your compass (no GPS or electronics allowed). Riders compete either individually or in teams of 2 or more. Ride at any pace you like. This is a sport for all ages – though your horse has to be at least three to participate. We provide instructions and a practice marker before the ride. It's easy and fun to learn. We’ll train you and even pair you with an experienced rider as a mentor if you like! Bring an orienteering type compass or borrow one of ours. Some will be available for sale. Newcomers welcome!!!When: Friday May 16, Saturday May 17 and Sunday May 18, 2025
