In keeping with ACTHA`s mission to raise much needed funds for Horse Rescues and Charities, thousands of riders all across the USA will be steppin` into their stirrups on the same exact day to ride in ACTHA sanctioned Competitive Trail Challenges.

Never before has such a group of top-shelf and generous sponsors, organizations and riders come together for such worthwhile cause. Sadly never before has there been so great a need. We at ACTHA know how much the noble horse means to each of you – How much the gallant horse has given to shape the world! Let`s rally together and offer a token of thanks!

You are herewith invited to help set the Guinness®World Record for The Largest Trail Riding Competition! Not just for fun – even though you can count on it bein` a heap of fun – but for all the good it`ll do, too! Round up your family, friends and horse and sign on for this World Record Ride. If we break the record, you`ll not only have done your part to help raise thousands of dollars for deserving horses - All proceeds from this event go directly to Equine Charities - And you will be part of a Guinness World Record!

Lunch following the ride --There`s a place nearby that you can ride your horse to and tie him outside the restaurant. We have a kitchen and clubhouse, and I`m looking for someone to cook up some hotdogs, etc.

After the ride we will have a low-key (pun kind of intended!) western singing competition, and /or a horse&rider "join up" event (email me for more info!), and/or the ever-popular boot race. What we offer will depend on what you want! Email me with suggestions, please.
