Camping: Camping is primitive w/ some electric sites; electric sites must be reserved and paid for in advance. Generators will be allowed only in their own area (farthest away) where they can run 24/7. Hot showers and restroom facilities are available in the Horse Park. Stalls are also available, if reserved in advance (separate check for the stall deposit is required). Portable corrals or tying from trailer is permitted if you do not want a stall. Limited water is available in camp for horses only. There will be a bonfire on Friday and Saturday nights after meeting & awards. All dogs must be on a leash at all times – No Exceptions! Base camp will open at noon on Friday; if you arrive before noon, you will face a $15 fee. If you would like to stay Sunday night, please be aware that the Horse Park wants all persons to vacate by noon on Monday.

Trails: Marjorie Harris-Carr Cross-Florida Greenways
Helmets are required. Terrain is mainly flat with good dirt/grass footing. Trails will be well marked with adequate water for horses. All vet checks w/ holds will be held at base camp. AERC & SEDRA rules apply (your responsibility to know these rules).

Registration: Check-in starts Friday afternoon at 1pm. AERC members must show membership card at check-in to avoid $15 non-member fee. A current negative Coggins is also required. Vet-in will begin at 4pm on Friday and Saturday. Entries will be taken on site, but getting your entry in by November 18th helps us plan enough vets.

Food: Due to restrictions in food vendors at the Horse Park, no dinners will be served. So, either bring your Thanksgiving leftovers or you can pitch-in amongst yourselves to order pizza, etc. Coffee & pastries will be served for breakfast each morning and trail snacks will be provided to competitors at the holds and on the trail.

9. Trash: NO MANURE, HAY, SHAVINGS OR BBQ COALS in trash. Pick up litter and deposit in trash container.

Those who use portable corrals or are tying their horse out need to dispose of their manure in one of the designated manure areas behind the barns. Scatter the few “leftovers” as you depart.

Thank you for your cooperation.
