Intro Rides do NOT require AERC membership
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 with 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 sanctioning, food and prizes.
Now handled by Gerhard online registration through the Broxton website. See details in the camping section! https://www.campspot.com/book/broxton-bridge-campgrounds
Camping options are:
In addition, on the last page, you may opt for covered corrals, portable corrals, and wifi service is now included. Do not select the riding fee. There is no guarantee we will have enough corrals so order early - and last minute requests have higher prices, if available.
Note that camp sites will be assigned by the ride manager primarily based upon distance and date registered/paid, not based on your specific choice, There are some campsites open early if you wish to confirm a specific campsite number.

When you arrive, you'll note that the campground is basically one big circle. Electric 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 $75 cleanup surcharge. Blue tubs are at each campsite and in the primitive camping area for manure and hay. Leave room between the front and back row of electric hookups for Broxton staff to drive through to empty the blue tubs. Remember, we are not the only ones that enjoy this wonderful venue!
Broxton Bridge is now handling registrations and payment for camping. You may choose primitive camping or electric campsite hookups with 30 and some 50 amp availability. I will still be making campsite assignments based upon distance, when you register and pay for the ride along with comments of who are your camping buddies, arrival/departure dates and of course distance trumps all!
Link: https://www.campspot.com/book/broxton-bridge-campgrounds. You may choose what type of camping and pay online. You are REQUESTING a campsite but there is no guarantee as outlined above although certain sites can be reserved now. If you have any issues with CAMPING registration or need to cancel, please contact Gerhard Varn, cell: 803-824-9651 or by email: gerhard@broxtonbridge.com
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 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. Broxton has a cancellation period for refunds of payment for their campsites and panels. See their website for details.
Plenty of hookups available for a daily fee in front or back rows. Horse corral panels are available for a nightly fee. There are a few covered corrals, and they tend to go fast. If you reserve a set of corrals 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. There are numerous water 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 is available for purchase at the Broxton Office Trailer. Wifi is now included with camping
All vet checks in camp. Water is available on trail approximately every 4 miles.
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. We have GREEN horses and GREEN riders so ride carefully when meeting or passing someone.
Please let riders know when you are coming up behind them, as well as passing safely. 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. No silently zooming up and/or recklessly passing other riders! Any rider that receives multiple complaints for being reckless and unsafe may be disqualified or only receive a completion.
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 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. Last minute requests have higher prices, if available.
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 aisle between rows. Failure to clean up campsite results in a $75 fee as Broxton charges us for clean up of hay piles and manure as we are not the only users of this lovely facility.
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 registered rider for the night before your ride. Vegan options all evenings; 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!
