The NYSHC Brookfield 50/30 & CDR Competitive trail rides will be at the Madison County Fairgrounds June 29, 30, and July 1, 2012. These rides will be sanctioned by the Eastern States Competitive Trail Riding Association, ECTRA. (ectra.org)

There will be three co-located rides. The longest will be a 2-day fifty mile ride, the next will be a 1-day thirty mile ride and the third will be a 15 mile Conditioning Distance Ride.

Competitive Trail Rides are judged rides over a set course done at an average speed of about 6 miles per hour. All riders and horses are expected to take about the same time to complete the ride. These are not races nor are they obstacle courses. The horses are examined from nose to tail at both the start and finish of the course. The horse who completes the course and has the least deductions for wear and tear or condition during the ride will be the winner. For all of the riders to complete is to win.
