Looking For: I'm looking for a trail partner who is knowledgeable on the trails and a decent rider. I'm 55 and have been riding about 10 years. I have ridden many trails, used to get out about 3 days a week in California, usually ride 8-10 miles each ride. I have also ridden many horses, done a cattle drive in Reno, where we drove 300 head of cattle for 5 days 60 miles and straight into the rodeo facilities, also took a private 5 day excursion in Monument Valley Utah where we were camped out on a reservation hosted by a Native American family who took us all over that beautiful valley on their horses. I have two horses of my own, a 15.1, 23 YO QH mare who is recovering from an SDFT tear to her front right leg and I'm just hoping she'll be rideable in 6 months. I also have a little guy, a 14.2, 19 YO QH gelding, who is not the most secure horse on the trail but will follow a leader very well. He's a retired cutting, team penning, and barrel racer. He's a good boy and needs to get out.
Name: Kim Spratto

Notes: I would love it too if anyone would like to come and ride at my place. I have an outdoor riding ring at my home and lots of pasture to ride around in (and open space just off the property).

Looking For: I'm looking for fun-loving trail riders to hit the trails with me. I ride mainly on Pittstown Trail Association and Alexandria Equestrian Association trails and am happy to show others around; or meet you out on other trails. We Love technical trails. I prefer relaxing rides - W/T is fine, with a controlled canter. Also happy to go out on mosey walk rides. My mare and I have retired from Endurance Racing - she can get rather forward in fast groups and right now I prefer to avoid that.

Looking For: I'm looking for someone who has an experienced trail horse. It would be great if you knew the trails in Tewksbury. I have a 11-year-old American Warm Blood gelding, who is ok off-poperty, but could be better and less spooky if he [and I] had more trail experience. I'd like to try him at a Hunter Pace at some point, but we've got a ways to go. We are off-property several times a year, mostly at schooling shows. I've been riding most of my life; dressage is something new- [only in the past 12 years.]

Looking For: I'm looking for a person to ride my husband's horse on trails. I am available 7 days a week but would love to find someone who is available during the week. I can accommodate a beginner rider as Gent is very reliable and I can teach a rider on him until we all feel confident to go out. He is good for beginners but would NOT be boring for a more advanced rider. Male or female invited.
