Bring Your Own Horse

As I was doing a little research to fill in the events section of InTheBurg, I found this interesting event from the Fredericksburg Parks and Recreation.

Urban Trail Ride through Historic Fredericksburg - BYOH, Bring Your Own Horse. Registration begins in September.

Saturday, November 15, 2008 (Rain or Shine*)
9:30am - 12 noon Fredericksburg, Virginia
(Meet at the grounds of the old water treatment plant on Kenmore Avenue. You will be directed to trailer parking)

ROUTE: Ride through downtown Fredericksburg, visiting many of the City’s points of interest. The pace for the group will be a walk. We provide coffee beforehand and after the ride we’ll have snacks and drinks for riders, as well as water for horses. The ride, which is all on asphalt, should take approximately 2 hours to complete. We will walk together as a group the entire time.

WHERE & WHEN: Trailer parking is located in the field next to the old Fredericksburg Water Treatment Plant, which is located on Kenmore Avenue, just past Mary Ball St.

I have no horse, but I plan on being out to watch the event. I'll be there looking for a spot to take pictures where the flash isn't necessary. What a unique event to participate in! When was the last time you saw everyone ride into town on their horse?
