Start here!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Some may call us crazy&#8230;.but mostly we just really enjoy being out on the trail. We&#8217;re no different from you, we have a horse that we enjoy riding, so we&#8217;ve found a discipline that allows us to compete on the trails. We all started with not-so-fit horses and many of us started as (and still are?) not-so-fit riders. We enjoy having a goal, something to prepare for. Any time spent on your horse is good for them and you, so why not join a sport that celebrates that? We have a lot of fun everywhere&#8230;.on the trail, in camp, getting ready for rides, games nights, board meetings&#8230;all of it.<\/p>\n<p>Our page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/where-do-i-start\/\">&#8220;Where Do I Start?&#8221;<\/a> has some excellent ideas for getting going. And we&#8217;re always here to help! Leave a note on our Facebook page, or email any of the board members or mentors. We&#8217;d be happy to answer any of your questions, and we love welcoming New Riders.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-893 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/162830_174086465965584_1094898_n-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/162830_174086465965584_1094898_n-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/162830_174086465965584_1094898_n-272x182.jpg 272w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/162830_174086465965584_1094898_n.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-900 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18446816_1518696491534622_4207623230803696421_n-250x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18446816_1518696491534622_4207623230803696421_n-250x300.jpg 250w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18446816_1518696491534622_4207623230803696421_n-768x923.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18446816_1518696491534622_4207623230803696421_n.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-901 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/13697094_1148714995199442_1741314757906053639_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/13697094_1148714995199442_1741314757906053639_n-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/13697094_1148714995199442_1741314757906053639_n-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/13697094_1148714995199442_1741314757906053639_n-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/13697094_1148714995199442_1741314757906053639_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-902 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14433111_1208269852577289_6545377105657352878_n-215x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14433111_1208269852577289_6545377105657352878_n-215x300.jpg 215w, http:\/\/www.distanceridersofmanitoba.ca\/DRM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/14433111_1208269852577289_6545377105657352878_n.jpg 689w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some may call us crazy&#8230;.but mostly we just really enjoy being out on the trail.
