Join us for Ride-A-Thon 2024 on Saturday, April 20th
EE is SO excited for our 2024 Ride-A-Thon! Ride-A-Thon is a great event where we get to raise funds for EE while enjoying our favorite thing- horseback riding! During the event, participants get to enjoy a trail ride through our more than 30 acres of woods and pastures. Clients, volunteers and their family can sign up to ride. In order to participate, you must raise at least $50. We'll have prizes for the top fundraisers, which will be determined and awarded the week following the event. We'll also need LOTS of volunteers to help us out that day with grooming and tacking, leading and sidewalking.
The “Long” rides will be about an hour mounted and are designed for riders who don’t require sidewalkers or physical support. The “Short” rides are about 30 minutes mounted and ideal for those who require side walkers. Please plan to be at the barn at least 15 minutes before your scheduled ride.
Following the ride, we'll be having our annual Volunteer Appreciation BBQ, where we get to celebrate our amazing volunteers! We encourage everyone to stay and have a great meal with us as we award prizes to our standout volunteers from 2023.
Event Rules and Policies: Everyone riding must sign a liability release. Everyone mounted must wear an ASTM-SEI approved riding helmet. All riders must wear closed-toe footwear. EE's current herd has a weight limit of 240 lbs. Riders over 240 lbs will mostly likely not be able to participate, unless they have prior approval by EE staff. *Priority will be given to current EE clients and volunteers.* If additional horses are available after current clients and volunteers are assigned, we'll allow family members as well.
