OTRA’s Trail Riding and Camping Season Has Begun!
Our somewhat short
winter is quickly changing to beautiful spring weather, and many horseback riders have ‘brushed’ off their trailers, had both truck and trailer safety checked and/or certified, and started putting stored camping items back into their ‘getaway digs’. We all probably have
our own, but the following is another list/reminder of important items to take along when heading out ei- ther for a few hours, or a multiple day trip.
