NATRC HORSE RIDES The North American
Trail Ride Conference (NATRC)
is one of the major competitive trail ride organizations
in the United States. A competitive trail ride is not a race, but
competitors cover a marked course in a given period of time. The
length of the ride can vary from 20 miles to 50 miles or more. Some
rides are "Multi day " rides- covering perhaps 20 miles the first
day, and 30 miles the second day. The horse is judged on condition,
soundness and trail ability over natural trail obstacles. The rider
is judged on presentation (not showmanship!), trail equitation (not
prettiness of form), trail safety/courtesy, etc.
