Dolly and her family have a permanent camp site ( Site T) at the forest and have graciously offered
to show us the ropes and guide us through the Ganaraska. You may come for 1 or 2 days or the whole
weekend. After the Equine Camping Clinic hosted by OTRA, it would be a wonderful opportunity to
camp and enjoy guided rides through the forest. Dolly and her daughters will be arriving on Friday
evening and staying until Monday afternoon. There will be trail rides daily starting at 10 a.m.
lasting 2-3 hours or even longer if you like!!! When you arrive just check in at the store and
they will tell you where the weekend temporary campers set up. There are trees for line tying,
water, showers and a pool. Fire pits are available and we can arrange a group evening fire.
The trails are mostly sand with some stone. If you wish to ride on your own, bring a compass,
it is a very large forest!!
Campsites will be available for the horses and riders and Dolly will be available to give everyone a hand and share her camping knowledge. Further information will be provided closer to the date. Please contact Dolly Puccia @ 905 727-6812 to confirm your attendance for either/both days and discuss the details. Looking forward to a great long weekend. Happy Trails!!!
