Don’t let our ride name scare you! It is an affectionate, historical reference to chiropractors. Our trails feature rolling hills, meadows, and trees. There are ample opportunities for crewing as there are several road crossings, but no water crossings. The weather is likely to be hot and humid, and rain is possible. Water sets will be available on trail in numerous locations. Hoof protection is highly recommended, as some portions of trail are quite rocky.
Ride Camp & Directions
Camp is at the South Kettle Moraine Park. We strongly recommend that you purchase a campsite ahead of time here. The WI DNR requires all adult riders to purchase a trail pass and vehicle registration.
All riders must leave a copy of their horses’ 2024 Coggins tests with ride management.
Driving directions: Off Main Street in Palmyra, turn Southeast at the True Value Hardware store on South 3rd Street. The horseman’s camp is on the left.
