ATTENTION TRAIL BOSSES. It is extremely important that you have a Ride Release Form with you when you lead a ride. Everyone on the ride must sign it. It is on our website at verdehorsemen.org and can be downloaded from there. It is also extremely important that you give the completed sheets to Judi Avery for file. This is just an extra step the Board wants to protect the club from liability issues. Thanks for everyone's cooperation.
