For complete Information on the 2026 August Ride, watch for our Spring Newsletter.   The spring News has all the information for both the June and August rides. This ride requires all participants to be members for insurance purposes, but membership is open and non members can sign on as members for a small fee. 

Full Ride & First Half on First Saturday & Second Half on Wednesday.  

Each year, CSTR holds a welcome party to introduce new members and a theme is chosen. CSTR members have a fun time dressing up to match the theme if they choose.  Members provide a pot luck display of snacks and treats.  Past themes included Ren Faire, Rocking Cross State, Wild Wild West, Woodstock and more

• CSTR will provide hay and water for your horse, but you will need to bring your own grain,
• The camp caterer will provide two meals a day, Breakfast and Dinner on the first Saturday and on Wednesday, and just Breakfast on the last Sunday.  Every other day, they will provide lunch and dinner.
• CSTR will provide portable toilets at the camp as well as a dumpster.
• Daily mileage will be between 8 and 15 miles with shorter loops available.  Trails will be marked and route sheets provided.  Ride out is 'at will'.  Lunch can be served on the trail with a signup.

We have some really amazing members.  They come from all walks of life and have three things in common, the love of horses, camping with horses and trail riding.  

We have some great trail managers in the group who are always looking for members to learn the skill of mapping out and marking trails.

Members also pitch in and help distribute hay twice during the ride, help to pump water and distribute it to thirsty horses and help the caterer serve meals.

Young or old, long-time members or recent additions, they all help make this a great experience. CSTR prides itself on being "family" and we hope that you will join us.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to get in touch with us. We're always happy to hear from our members.  We welcome hearing from people interested in finding out about our group.
