FAYE WHITTEMORE NATRC RIDE
Competitive Trail Ride
June 11-13, 2010
Faye Whittemore Farms is located in the rolling hills of North/Northwest
Alabama (just 30 miles north of Birmingham). With trails winding along scenic
creeks, this facility has been recognized as an outstanding trail ride
destination by RFD-TV’s ‘Best of America by Horseback’. Footing is variable
and can be rocky. Shoes or Boots are recommended. There is good water along
the trail for horses, and much of the ride will be in the shade.
The ride will be over a marked trail within a specific time period to evaluate
horse and rider. This is not a race. Distance conditioning, safety,
equitation, trail manners and ability, way of going, soundness, and teamwork,
as well as safety and care in camp are all part of the competition.
A full-service campground and paddocks available. Meals can be purchased
individually or as a package. All pets in camp must be on a leash or
confined. See below for details and reservations.
General Requirements: A saddle is required, with no restrictions as to type.
JUNIOR RIDERS MUST WEAR HELMETS WHILE MOUNTED AND MUST RIDE WITH A
PARTICIPATING SPONSOR. Please check our website for a complete rule listing.
Drug testing may be conducted. Stallions must be in control at all times,
double tied, and ridden only by an adult. Equines must be kept in paddocks
provided. Riders must care for their own mounts while in competition.
Ride notes: Check-in begins Friday 11th at 1:00 PM; vet-in starts 2:00 PM.
All riders must come to briefings Friday and Saturday nights. Horses must be
stabled onsite after check in. The awards ceremony for one-day competitors
will occur Saturday evening and for two-day competitors on Sunday as soon as
possible after vet-out.
