Registration is open!
Friday, Jan 24 : Intro, 30, 50, 65, 75, 100
Saturday, Jan 25 Intro, 25, 50, 65, 75
Ride and Tie/Equathon each day.
Intro can select 7, 12.5 or 15- mile trail.
Enjoy the well-groomed trails at Broxton Bridge. Trails are barefoot friendly for the lower mileage rides.
You'll ride through cotton fields, woods, around ponds, and so much more. Most trails are double track. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy. Two trails are across the street - it is the rider's responsibility to stop for traffic, as Highway 601 is a busy road and you are responsible for you and your horse! The last loop(s) have LED lights for the 65-, 75-, and 100-mile distances.

Ride is sanctioned through AERC, SEERA, SEDRA, FEI, and Ride and Tie/Equathon.
On the registration form, you will see an item related to participant information being shared with AERC and USEF. Because this is also an FEI event, USEF may request this information to ensure SafeSport compliance. This information will not be used for any marketing purposes.
In the event there is a Force Majeure, act of God, and the ride must be cancelled, the ride will refund all but $50 per ride to cover the non-recoverable costs of food and prizes.
When you arrive, you'll note that the campground is basically one big circle. Hookups are within the circle, and primitive parking is not permitted in this area. Primitive parking is outside of the circle, behind the covered corrals or left of the dirt road. If you have reserved a hookup, please park in your assigned spot within the circle. If you park where you shouldn't, you may have to move. Anyone that leaves trash, manure, or excessive amounts of hay will pay a $100 cleanup surcharge. Blue tubs are at each campsite and in the primitive camping area for manure and hay. Remember, we are not the only ones that enjoy this wonderful venue!
Electric hookups are available for an additional nightly fee, the front row has water/electric and some of the back row has water, electric and sewer. Primitive camping is available also. Ride camp opens at 10 AM on Wednesday. If you are riding the 3* FEI ride, horses must arrive by 9 am on Thursday. All 100 milers get the best locations on campsites! Campsites are assigned in the order of the date registration received with payment before the late date, although we try to honor requests for camping together. Broston has a cancellation time of 3 days so if you have to cancel within that time frame, we have to pay them, thus you have to pay us.
Plenty of hookups available for a daily fee in front or back rows. Wfe have serts of horse corral panels available for a nightly fee. There are a few covered corrals, and they tend to go fast. If you reserve a covered corral and your plans change, Broxton has a cancellation time period of one week as they have delivered them and could have sold them to another rider. This means we have to pay them, so we need payment from you. There are numerous spigots for horse water for the crew area and water tanks in the primitive areas. Great showers and bathrooms are included with camping. The pavilion is the base for ride meetings, dinner & awards. Ice and WIFI passes are available for purchase at the Broxton Office Trailer.
All vet checks in camp.
Failure to be nice to volunteers, officials and other riders is grounds for disqualification. Be nice and have fun. No cantering in camp. When meeting riders in two way traffic, no cantering please. If you are going to pass, ASK if it is ok and then wait until the rider(s) have said it's ok - we have some green horses and riders. Dogs are welcome but MUST be on a leash at all times. Dogs that bark non-stop when you're gone should be left at home or bring them a dogsitter please! You must pick up after your dog. It is your responsibility to stop at the road before crossing to make certain it is safe. The cars and trucks do not stop. Water troughs are numbered so if you need assistance, please note where you are or the trough you just passed, ditto if you are helping someone else out.
Each horse owner, trainer, and/or rider is responsible for safe camping and restraint of their horse(s). Corral panels will be offered on the registration form, but we may run out so order early.
Blue tubs are provided for manure and old hay (NOT trash). Please fill and put these behind your trailer if you are in the front row and in front of your campsite if you are on the back row. The tractor drives through for pick up so please do not block the aisleway between rows.
If you incur any vet or farrier services, you are expected to pay directly and on the spot. Chris Francis from Jacksonville, FL is the farrier. Phone is 904- 524-7581
All riders must wear a helmet when mounted. No exceptions.
If you want your ride card, you must pick it up at awards. You are also welcome to take a picture with your phone at ride completion. You may pick up any Top Ten awards you earned before the awards meeting if you need to leave or you may have a friend pick up your awards. We will not send any awards to you, nor do we want to bring them to you at another ride!
A delicious dinner is included for each rider for the night before your ride. Extra dinners may be reserved on the registration form. If extra dinners are available onsite, be prepared to pay $20. Breakfast and lunch items (plus wonderful sweet treats) are available from Comfort Lane Cafe for a fee. Carol takes cash and venmo!
