Dog River Horse Club 2025 Annual Weekend Trail Ride
September 19th - 21st 2025
Fall is the best time of the year for trail riding in Vermont. The trails are beautiful, and the views are incredible with very few flies.
Trail etiquette says riders are to stay on marked trails and off lawns, yards, and other properties. It is very important to respect and be courteous to all vehicles, towns people, landowners, etc. We want to leave a positive impression on the people of Tunbridge, so our group is welcome to come back each year. If you are having a challenging time at a certain spot, please ask the nearest person riding next to you to please stop or give you a quick hand. We have found everyone that attends this ride is always more than willing to help.
The fun begins on Friday at 1 o’clock when you arrive at the fairgrounds.
Get yourself and your horse all set up for the weekend, relax, stretch your legs, or take your horse out for a short ride around the fairgrounds or on some of the nearby dirt roads.
The terrain at Tunbridge can be very hilly, but scenic. You’ll be on some dirt roads, class 4 roads, trails and beautiful meadows. We will have to cross some paved roads and ride a short distance on pavement.
Because of the beautiful mountains, cell service is spotty, but texting is possible for most locations.
Each day begins with a full-catered breakfast, and at 8:15 AM a trail information talk. You’ll be given tickets when you arrive. Please bring all your tickets with you to each meal. Riders can head out at 10 AM each day. Three or four people will head out about 8:45 am to check the markers. Lunch on Saturday will be served in the field with a porta potty. We will have a mounting block to help folks get back on their horse.
Stalls are available and limited to the first eighty horses. If you leave behind a dirty stall, you will be billed $50 extra. Please, there is no parking or camping in front of the stalls. You must stay on the Fair Grounds and attend to your horse. Horses cannot be left in a stall unattended.
(The damage caused to stalls will be billed to the Horse owner.) Portable fencing paddocks are very welcome next to your trailer approximately 30 x 30 for each horse.
There are two designated areas for manure dumping at each end of the horse racetrack. We would greatly appreciate your help keeping the grounds clean. All manure and hay must be cleaned up.
The caterers will order all the food on September 5th. Any cancellations after 6:00p.m. on the 5th, only your camping fee can be refunded.
A full refund will be granted when requested by phone or email no later than September 5th by 6:00pm.
