Do you have any riders in the New Hampshire area? I would love to have a guest speaker at my riding club meeting. We all trail ride and love fun things.
Thanks to Janice Elsishans, who introduced CMOs to NJ, we have been riding in CMOs since the 1990s. I say "riding", not "competing" since we don't care who wins as long as we enjoy the day. That said, we have been NJ State Champions in the past. NJ doesn't have many overnight camping places, so our CMOs are one day rides. Did you know that NJ is the most densely populated state in the USA for people AND horses? That means we have more people and horses per square mile than any other state! Since many of our CMOs are held over state or local parklands, we do not "run" as the western folks do, in deference to the other park users. If you see a CMO listed near you- come on out and try it. It is inexpensive and fun!
Hey Kelly - thanks for your interest. Please message me through the NACMO web site (www.nacmo.org) or through our FB page (NACMO) and we'll try to find you a speaker! Marti Caldwell, NACMO president
