13th Annual Mesquite Trail Ride
Already less than six months out, it's sure to be a good time. We'd love to know how many of you will be returning. As always, the ride will be capped at 70 but we like to give first dibs to our returning riders. We already have a few eager new riders that are on the wait list for when it opens. If you are a returning rider, please drop us a filled-out registration form at your earliest convenience. You can find the registration form on the home page of this website www.mesquitetrailride.com at the bottom of the page or drop us an email and we'll email you a copy. We are also trying to get an idea of how many riders will be using a rental horse so please give us a heads up. As always, we look forward to seeing you all in September, it's going to be a good time!
