EVBCH Trail Rules

Safety First!

EVBCH members practice safe, sensible, LNT behavior; consequently, all rides are limited to 10 riders or less. When participating in a sanctioned ride, all riders must adhere to the following Ride Rules:


1. The Trail Boss oversees all ride activities and can delegate responsibilities.

2. A walk is the only gait allowed in camp or in an assembly area.

3. Horses with a tendency to kick must have a red ribbon on their tail.

4. The Trail Boss will set the gait/pace with consideration to all riders.

5. Remain on the trail behind the Trail Boss and in front of the Drag for the entire ride.

6. Maintain a consistent speed and keep a horse-length between horses.

7. Notify the Trail Boss or Drag Rider if you need to stop; wait until all are mounted before moving out.

8. Do not leave the group without notifying the Trail Boss.

9. Riders under 18 years of age must wear a helmet and be accompanied by a parent.

10. The Trail Boss may remove a disruptive rider or horse from the group. (Accompanied by the Drag Rider or appointed rider)
