All proceeds going to horse rescues and charities!

Trail rides in every state. all on 6/13/10. now taking entries!

On June 13th SOMETHING WONDERFUL is going to happen.The American Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA) with the help of all trail riders in the United States along with ACTHA’S large loyal sponsorship support from the most impressive names in the industry; WILL BE THE CONDUIT FOR ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE AND MAY NEVER BE DONE AGAIN!

On June 13th thousands of trail riders with a heart and appreciation of what the horse has done for mankind, will assemble in every state in the union. They will have a gay ole time “casually” competing along a six mile trail near them. Along the trail will be a series of safe, fun and natural trail obstacles. They and their friends will cheer each other on for the best execution of the obstacle possible. Each obstacle is safe and is being judged by helpful trained judges. There will be over 1000 winners from 3 division so there is a spot for everyone! Even those not wishing to “casually” compete. However only those who do compete will be counted in the Guinness Record!

BEST OF ALL THE ENTIRE PROCEEDS AFTER THE ACTUAL REAL MODEST COSTS GOES TO CHARITY.HORSE RESCUES IN DIRE NEED AND HORSE PROGRAMS AIMED AT A SYSTEMIC CURE FOR THIS TRAGEDY!

“There are many things that astound me about this attempt” states Tom Scrima, ACTHA’s GM. “I could talk about the incredible generosity of all our sponsors, or the wonderful Guinness people who are working hard alongside ACTHA and the HSUS to make it “OFFICIAL!”

But what touches me most is that over 1,000 volunteers are making it possible for us to raise hundreds of thousands for horse rescues and programs in ONE DAY. The “profits” from this effort would be non-existent were it not for them. The fact that they are dedicating weeks of their time in preparation for this unique ONE TIME event tells me our industry and the horse will continue to thrive and that we will sooner, rather than later, be able to shed the shame of what is happening out there right now! We have thousands of unemployed horses who are in bread lines at overworked and over crowded shelters. The situation is so bad that often the heart break of having to refuse care and basic shelter sends many able bodied horses to the nearest legal slaughter house! No American horse sound, or not, deserves that fate after centuries of service to mankind, especially Americans!

The issue is multi faceted and complicated but on thing is abundantly clear and simple..we MUST restore the value of the everyday horse. He needs a job and ACTHA has thousands of openings!! Good paying jobs earning their rider/owners truly great prizes thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors and industry! Never before have I seen more people “walk the talk” and I am thrilled ACTHA is one of the cohesive forces at the vortex of the solution to this horrific issue.”

So get out there and sign up for a ride near you! On June 13th you’ll see them everywhere.simply go to www.actha.us and be a part of the New World Record for the most horses ever assembled for a peace time cause. Horse Rescues!
