Hillsdale Spring Fling 2024 is in the books! We had an awesome turnout with 64 riders out on the beautiful trails. We had great weather, happy horses, and an incredible display of sportsmanship by all. We couldn’t have done it without an army of volunteers, many who spent all day, either scribing for a vet, recording times, taking pulses, helping riders cross a busy road, offering emotional support to ride managers (you know who you are)or keeping everyone fed and the campfire burning. A big shout out to Saddle Ridge Back Country Horsemen of Kansas for maintaining these gorgeous trails. Hooray for 4-H volunteers for doing every thankless task under the sun. So proud to be part of OCER Riders and the Central Region of AERC: American Endurance Ride Conference. A huge thank you to our sponsors Mad Barn, DrinkLMNT, Ride Like an Athlete, Riding Warehouse, The Distance Depot, and Performex. Congrats to all!!!
