The Gang that comes together and helps get the Mary & Anna Memorial Ride is working hard to make this year’s ride as successful as possible. We’re preparing the ride with the AERC National Championships in our sights. We’ve been meeting every month since last summer, preparing for the biggest, best rides of the 2024 ride season! We’re doing our part, so you can do yours! Get to riding and conditioning those horses!
Online Registration is open! Get your entries sent in online, or by snail mail today! If you choose to register in camp, it’ll cost an extra $35.
Lois is busy getting the Mary & Anna awards together, as well as organizing a big raffle, along with Sue McLain, that will directly benefit the Mary and Anna Memorial Youth Rider Fund. If you’d like to donate to the raffle, please email us (2024aercnc@gmail.com). The raffle will be held at the 2024 AERC National Championships.
Max, Carol and Stevie spent a day out on the trails a couple of week ago, scouting a new loop and checking the trails on the other loops we’re planning to use. They’ve reported back that the loops are looking great. There’s still too much snow at the top of the Willow Butte Loop to see much, but you’ll find we’ve improved the out vet check up there, come Memorial Day weekend! We’ll be posting our rider pack soon, complete with maps, tracks, necessary waivers and all other important information.
Keep an eye out for Carol’s articles in the AERC News, showcasing interesting information about the area the ride is held on, as well as historical tidbits, in preparation for the NC’s in August.
You can order a t-shirt or sweatshirt for the 2024 Mary & Anna Ride, but do it soon, because orders close 5/10/24, so Lois can get the shirts ordered and ready for delivery at the ride.
Mrs Smallz will again be in attendance, with her most awesome food truck offerings! Plan to see her there, starting Thursday afternoon, through Sunday evening. We love Mrs Smallz!
The PNER Blood Machine will be at the ride this year. A great tool to track your horse’s bloodwork, before, during and after the ride. PNER members will only pay $45/test. Non-PNER members pay $55. These panels ordinarily cost well over $100.
Keep an eye out for the lastest information and updates, right here, on the Mary and Anna Memorial Ride blog and website. The information will hit here first, then get shared to the Mary and Anna Facebook page. From there, the information is shared to the AERC and PNER Facebook groups. So many places to find out the lastest 411 about the ride!
