MEMBERSHIP

Come ride with us!  (Members must provide their own horse)

Orientation rides will continue to be offered at Sweet Run State Park (formally BRCES) to new members. Once you've joined, contact our Orientation Ride Coordinator, to schedule your orientation ride. Our Orientation Ride Coordinator will connect you with a USTR member who will show you the trails at Sweet Run State Park, provide information regarding access to the equestrian parking area and discuss how you can support the club by being a good steward of the trails.  We look forward to seeing you out on the trails!

We would greatly appreciate any additional donation you can make to support USTR's efforts to maintain local trails and trailheads.  USTR continues its commitment to be good trail stewards at the new State park and all other local and regional trail systems.

ORIENTATION RIDES: Riding at Sweet Run State Park (formally the Blue Ridge Center)

If you are a new member or seasoned member, you can participate in an orientation ride with one of USTR's approved orientation ride guides.  On your orientation ride you'll ride all the park's trails at a walk with a seasoned member who will educate you on the various loops and routes, and club stewardship guidelines. The ride will take est. 2.5-3 hours.

To schedule an orientation ride once you've received your membership materials, please contact our Orientation Ride Coordinator.  To ensure you get out on the trails as soon as you're ready, we have a great group of orientation ride leaders who are able to ride at various times during the week and on weekends.
