SEFTA ST. Jude Trail Ride

Here you go FoxTROT members---a chance to partake in a Beneficial Ride AND meet sister affiliate members of the SEFTA!



********************************************************************************************************************

South Eastern Fox Trotter Association (SEFTA), St Jude Trail Ride

In an effort to accommodate all the people that may want to come I chose the Blowing Rock Equestrian Preserve, which connect to the Moses Cone trails off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The trails are nice and wide and have beautiful views of the valley below.

If you would like information on the preserve go to www.blowingrockequestrian.com

St. Jude's Saddle Up ride will be: Saturday, August 29, at 10:00 AM.

Location: Blowing Rock Equestrian Preserve, Blowing Rock, NC

For reservations for camping and stalling your horse you can call 828-295-4700 or you can email them at info@blowingrockequestrian.com I have been told that if you state you are with a group St. Jude's Ride they will make every effort to make sure you are in the same area.

Camping: $25.00/night, per site (water and electric included) I have been told the best camping is by the new barn. BUT ALL CAMP SITES ARE ON FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS

Stalls: $25.00 per night (bring your own hardware, buckets, muck buckets & pitch forks)

For those of us that need a hotel there are plenty of hotels in the town of Blowing Rock, which you can access via internet at www.blowingrock.org/hotels.html .

Should you have any questions about the ride please feel free to call or email SEFTA President, TerryMcMichael, at 864-703-0990 or mcdicken@aol.com.
