No Frills Tailgate Judged Pleasure Ride

No "getting ready" pics for this one, I'm afraid, but we're still very much looking forward to this ride. It's a close one for a change - in Bishopville, NS. So the big trailer can take four horses and no overnight stay.

It's another ride of "firsts" for Tidal Treasures: first ride for Todd Schaefer, he's taking Ali; first ride for Khol, he's taking Lynn; first ride for Tiki, he's taking Pam and first "official" volunteer job for Carrilee, she's timer. This is the first ride that husband & wife, Todd & Shelley, will ride together while daughter Kathleen watches both parents. Marie is bringing her friend Nicole who hasn't been to an ACTRA ride yet. Nicole's been riding Marie's Mister all summer and they've done a "mock" JP so she's keen to see a real one.

NO FRILLS means that the host is supplying the ride site, judge and trail. That is it. This is a trial run to see how the ride site, trails, etc work…..might be a bigger ride next summer! Bev Elliott is hosting and we're hoping it is SO MUCH FUN that she'll want to do it again next year. She's teased us with videos over the summer and we can't wait to ride those trails!

Here's a little video of part of the trail: 

Stay tuned to hear how much fun the ride was!
