Trail Familiarization Rides

General Information:

• Tuesday evenings at McGuire’s (251st & Bayle Rd, Easton, KS) starting 4 June & continuing through the start of Autumn Hunting.
• Gate open @ 5pm; Ride off @ 6pm – please be on time.
• No cost to current FLH Riding Members; 2nd Hunt/Social Members and Guests are encouraged and welcome – they will pay a one-time $50 fee (cash or check to “LFA”)

Requirements/Expectations:

• Riders without a current Hold Harmless (HH) will execute HH prior to mounting.  Adult/Junior versions available at:  https://ftleavenworthhunt.org/resources/; you are encouraged to complete and bring with you!
• Riders and horses of all disciplines are welcome in serviceable tack and seasonal clothing of your choice. Riders will wear protective headgear (as described in the HH) while mounted, as well as footwear with a heel.  Fly spray for your horse and insect repellent for you are RECOMMENDED!
• We will ride as a controlled group on a pre-planned route intended to expose riders/mounts with a suitable foundation to the range of conditions present in our primary hunt country.  This is a great way to establish or maintain rider/mount fitness throughout the summer – and for current FLH members who are considering stepping up to Field Master/Secretary or Hunt Staff responsibilities, this is a great way to learn the country.  You should anticipate being out approximately 1.5-2 hours.  We will plan on a mid-point check to water horses, share flasks and allow those who wish, to school on creek crossings (dry bed and deep water).
• We will “de-brief” with BYO beverages and snacks in the clubhouse afterward!
