FAQ

Q. Why are the trail rides so far away from me?

A. OTRA rides and events are hosted by our members, in their favourite riding areas.

 

Q. Can I host a trail ride?

A. Yes, you can! You need trails, suitable camping area and a willingness to show them off to other OTRA members.

 

Q. What if there is already an event on the same date I want to hold mine?

A. It is feasible to have more than one event, especially if they are located in very different regions.

 

Q. What is the pace of the rides?

A. OTRA has a policy to set the pace to the lowest level of any participant rider or horse.  Safety is first and foremost.  It may sometimes be feasible to have more than one group of different skill levels go out, but this is dependent on the availability of qualified trail bosses.
