Randolph County Regional Riding Club

 Camping is primitive in a large hay field on private property. Base camp is located next to the river so kids bring your swimsuits!

We will offer ice, food and drinks for sale at the ride site.

We are expecting a tack vendorand a photographer to be present at the ride.

Anyone who's been to this ride before knows about our wonderful, funloving volunteers from the Randolph County Regional Riding Club. Yes, they'll all be there!!
