Hi
all……..in the December issue of the Endurance News magazine, Jerry
Fruth talks in his Trails columnabout “Trail Master” courses…..I had the privilege of
attending one of these a couple of years ago. Taught by Jan and Mike Riter of Georgia, it covered trail
construction and design, and really opened my eyes to the need for properly
built horse trails…..
Here in Indiana in June, ITRA
(Indiana Trail Riders Assn) will be sponsoring one of these Trail clinics- I
join with Jerry in strongly urging you to attend. You don’t have to be a
genius- though a curious and open mind IS good!!......you will have a fun,
interesting time, and will leave with a much better idea of the problems and
challenges involved in trail design.
We cannot have our sport of
Distance riding continue into the future without our trails- take a stand!!
Make a difference!!!
I don’t have all the details
yet, but it will be held on June 9-12, 2005. Please contact me
for more info- 812-988-4218 or eickle@xxxxxxxxxxxx
