Ride Missouri

Ride Missouri participant, Mr. Haight & Friends

Ride Missouri is a riding program designed for all ages, all levels of ability and all types of equine, whether you ride or drive. No matter the reason you ride, this is a way to be recognized for your achievements. When you enroll in Ride Missouri, you will receive a patch and a time log. When you accumulate 50 hours, we will record and publish your accomplishment and send you an achievement patch. At 100, 250, 500, 1000 cumulative hours and so on your accomplishment will be published along with receiving hourly patches and other prizes.
