Ride The State!

US Horse Welfare and Rescue Org, a 501(c)3 non profit located at Nod Hill in Avon, CT was founded to foster the welfare and safety of America's horses by developing and providing solution based programs to keep our horses out of the slaughter pipeline.  Our programs include our educational and community outreach,  ambassadors programs, emergency haybanks, gelding clinics, rehoming and rescuing. Programs we are working to establish include safe surrenders, low to no cost euthanasia, branding and microchipping. Through these programs, our work with legislators and your support we CAN keep Connecticut's horses safe.

Grand Prize for closest time: a 3 night stay for 6 at an Okemo ski house in VT (blackout dates apply).

There are 3 mandatory stops with check in at each stop. Riders will need to provide their own transportation to and from event. Please arrive in plenty of time.
