Ride Info

Those of you that have ridden with us in the past know that in addition to the beautiful and challenging trails, we also offer some great meals!! You are also familiar with the type of terrain that we cover, but for “newcomers” we offer these guidelines … Ordinarily our rides are approximately 12-18 miles in length. The first ride of the season tends to be shorter to facilitate “conditioning.” Our rides are “pleasure rides” and welcome all levels of riders, however, please realize that as the season progresses the terrain and the obstacles tend to become more challenging. The rule of thumb is check with the contact people should you have any questions.

We are affiliated with NEHTA (New England Horse and trail Association)
Current Negative Coggins must be provided.

Ride Prices:
  • Ride and Meal(Members): $25.00
  • Ride and Meal (Non-Members): $30.00
  • Meal Only: $10.00
      • NOTE: One of the ways we are able to offer such great meals after a ride is by pre-registrations “head count.” SO PLEASE remember SMART must receive your registration form(s) and money no later than Wednesday preceding the ride. (Post marked dates of mailings are not acceptable. NO EXCEPTIONS. You only need to send $10.00 for pre-registration, and then pay the balance the day of the ride. If for some reason you do not pre-register, you are still welcome to come and ride, however, you will be charged and extra $5.00.
