The Fleetwood Community Center invites you to join us for our annual fall benefit trail ride. Our trail ride offers spectacular views and a variety of terrain. The trail leads you through apple orchards, pasture fields, woodland and limited gravel road. All trails are well marked and self guided. The ride takes you over privately owned land, which residents of our community have generously allowed us to use . It is imperative for riders to be careful of smoking on the trail and to refrain from littering. When riding expect to see some wildlife. Bear, turkey, deer and other forms of wildlife roam the hillsides on a regular basis. Don’t forget to bring your camera.
The trails vary in difficulty so it is in the best interest that your horse/horses be well shod and trail conditioned.
Fees include fabulous home-style meals Friday and Saturday night and hearty breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday morning. We pride ourselves with serving you the best down home cooking in the East. We keep the food good and plentiful with variety and quality. Our goal is to keep you happy, satisfied, and able to relax and enjoy the best in horseback riding. Saturday’s lunch is served picnic style on the trail. You do not have to worry about anything. Sit back and let us do all the work for you.
