Welcome to the Souris Bend Benefit Ride September 2, 2023!<\/p>

Important Update<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Heads up everyone! Looks like a hot weekend at Souris Bend.\u00a0 We are going to move up start times due to the heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

50\u2019s will leave as soon as they are vetted in. (Hoping about 7 ish) 25\u2019s will now start at 8 AM<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

10\/15 will start at 9.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Be prepared for the heat. Bring ice, bring a cooling vest, bring a fan. Whatever you need for you and your horse<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Trail Marker: Myna Margetts<\/p>

Ride Manager: Darice Whyte<\/p>

Day Manager: Dianne Borger<\/p>

Vet: Dr Glenn Sinclair<\/p>

This is an AERC sanctioned 1-day ride offering 50-mile Endurance Ride and 25-mile Limited Distance ride. Horses are subject to vet checks prior, during and after each ride. \u00a0There might even be prizes!<\/p>

In addition, Intro rides of 10 or 15 miles will be offered. This is a great way to try out the sport and any reasonably fit horse should be able to complete the ride. Horses will have a vet check at the beginning and completion of the ride. These rides are for experience only and have no time limits and no placings but will receive a completion ribbon and their vet card once they pass their final vet check.<\/p>

Directions :<\/p>

\u00a0From Wpg on #2 hwy go past Nesbitt about .25 of a mile to PR 346. Go south on 346 towards Margaret. Go 4 miles south and road jog to the west. Follow the road thru jog and continue south another 3 miles to turn off for middle camp. Signs will be posted.<\/p>

From Brandon on #10 hwy go past #2 hwy east another 4 miles to road 36N. Turn east and go 4 miles east to PR 346. Turn south and go 3 miles south to turnoff for middle camp.<\/p>

Signs will be posted. We are going to have trucks and trailers go down the hill in the first 30 minutes of any hour and up hill in the last 30 minutes. This worked well at the August long weekend. It avoids meeting another rig on the hill. Myna will have my signs put up to inform everyone.<\/p>

Ride camp will be primitive camping with no electrical available. Water will be provided for the horses, but you must bring all your own supplies, in addition to your own containment for your horses. Please clean up your horse manure at your camp area (it can be tossed in the bush or taken home with you). An outhouse is near base camp for those in need but no guarantee it has tp in it.<\/p>

Base camp will officially open Friday at 4:00 p.m.<\/u> Camping and day trailer parking is first come first served and unmarked so please be courteous to your fellow riders and don\u2019t block the road. Please let the ride manager know if you plan on arriving Friday.<\/p>

Ride Schedule will be:<\/p>

The ride maps are available at camp and has been add d below. We are hoping to have a GPX file available as well.<\/p>

Saturday we will have a potluck supper at the Ride Tent at 6:00 p.m.<\/u> (or when the last 50\u2019s are in). Please bring 4-6 portions of your favourite shareable camp food and join us for a social evening.<\/p>
