1. Wait until everyone is ready before you take off.
Novice riders and horses can get nervous when people are riding off before they are mounted.
2. Walk. don't Trot or lope, especially if there are riders and horses at different levels.
3. Switch leaders every once in a while, so everyone gets to have their horses in different positions.
4. Have an advanced rider bring up the end to help keep every one moving and together.
5. If you are leading it is your job to set the pace but don't set a pace so fast that slower riders get too far back. This can cause horses and riders to panic.
6. It is your Job to listen to the person riding Drag, and pass forward any messages so everyone can stay together.
7. Have Fun But always stay aware of your surroundings. Wild animals, hikers, bikers and motorcycles are out there too and they can startle horses when they jump or appear out of nowhere.
8. Make sure someone has a first aid kit
9. Do bring Water and Snacks.
10. Please Pack out your Garbage.
