Mud Run JP 2025
Sunday, May 18, 2025 - if you are riding you must be on site by 10:00 am.
A fun 15 mile ride over easy, well marked trails. We will ride on a combination of the Rails to Trail, gravel roads, and dirt tracks to the halfway hold of 30 min before you turn around and ride back to ride camp. This is a great introduction ride for newbies or novices. The ride camp at the Stanley Mosherville Hall at 346 Highway 236 in Stanley, Hants Co, NS, has space to camp overnight with your horse, with water, bathroom, use of hall facilities (fridge and stove) available at no extra charge.
After the ride, we celebrate with a lovely home cooked supper before handing out the awards. For more info about this ride or Distance Riding in general - contact Ride Manager: Lucy Rudge at: lucyrudge1@gmail.com
Your horse will be inspected by the judge before and after the ride - and checked for health/fitness at the halfway hold (we call this 'fit to continue')
Hoof protection is recommended due to crushed stone on the gravel roads.
The suggested ride time of this event is about 4 hours at mostly walk/trot but since this is a Judged Pleasure ride there is no time limit.
Please complete and submit the ACTRA sanctioned ride entry form found on our website under Forms at www.atlanticriders.ca before May 16th.

Entry is not considered complete until the form and entry fee have both been received. Late fee of $10 per entry applies to entries received after 10 pm, May 12, 2024.
Refunds: Entry fee will be returned if a rider is unable to attend less a $10.00 admin fee. We ride rain or shine.
You must be a member of your provincial sport organization to participate in this event (insurance requirement), but you don't have to be a member of ACTRA. New members always welcome!
If you are coming from a distance and want to overnight closer to the ride camp but don't know what options are available, please reach out to Lucy Rudge or Kim Crowell as there are some members that live closer to the ride camp that can provide stalls or paddocks for turnout for the horses and a place to sleep for the humans.
