Competitive Trail Ride Results

July 31, 2024

Thank you all for helping make the Crevasse Kicker an amazing experience for all this past weekend. With late changes to the trail, an untried campsite, and rough weather to start us off, It was exciting to see excellent teams on the trail and in camp.

A special thank you to our outstanding trail-master Francine and her assistant Sarah G for what can only be described as fool-proof trail marking! And with safety riders Bill and Kaylene, we knew everyone was going to make it back to camp safely. Our ride secretary, Stephanie, put in a lot of effort to ensure that you had everything you needed and you were in the loop. Sarah R designed and ordered the amazing ribbons and solicited awesome prizes. Thank you to Branded Feed and Tack and M Bar D Feed & Tack for your generous donations!

Deanna and the P&R Crew were ahead of schedule and able to handle all the groups with no delays!

Judge and Scribe teams of Susan, Colleen A., Colleen F., and Karol were indispensable with their years of knowledge and I know we are all grateful that they were willing to share their expertise with everyone.
