LCRVHC is a group of riders from a variety of disciplines united by a common love of horses. We enjoy riding whether on the trails or in the arena, meeting to socialize and learn, and volunteering our time to develop and maintain trails.

2020 Calendar Ideas

Please think about the 2020 calendar. If you are interested in hosting a MO ride please email Lynda Perry, cymaronfarm@snet.net. If you have an idea for a program or activity, a topic you would like to learn about, a skill to share, or would like to host the winter party or summer picnic, please email lcrvhc.org@gmail.com. Meetings are at the Fire Museum behind 21 Copse Road, Madison, unless otherwise specified. It is always fun to go other places. Consider hosting a meeting or social event at your home or farm. LCRVHC has a Facebook page for member-only rides: facebook.com/lcrvhc. Check it out! Sometimes we include some local events from other organizations in our calendar so we can work around them.

A Friendly Reminder

The BPC is a non-member organization dependent on LCRVHC for manpower and inspiration!  It is basically still LCRVHC’s trails committee! We maintain the trails in Weber Woods and the Quinimay Trail. The hunter pace which LCRVHC holds in Weber Woods each year pays the club’s annual operating expenses. If you can’t make it to an official work party maybe you can take a walk and toss some branches and rocks off the trail. Hours spent in Weber Woods or on the Quin-imay trail can and should be logged as Adopt-a-Park time. Wear your badges. Please report your time to Beverly Torell, bdtct@sbcglobal.net. We would all rather be out riding but please bear in mind that it takes a lot of hours of political action with the state and towns to prioritize open space and the work to maintain the trails is never ending. Please join us in our efforts. Thank you!
