Good volunteers make the rides run smoothly, we couldn't function without them. Another great job of vetting by Glen Sinclair. The weather was prefect and no one was carried away by the mosquitoes. Hope to see everyone at the next ride in Spruce Woods."

2008-05-12 Want to know all about the Rules for rides? See the CaLDRA Rule book - there is a page on CaLDRA’s web site, the latest version and updates, if any. MTRC is adopting the full CaLDRA rules (possibly with a few exceptions? If so, you will be informed of those)
Posted in a separate page are the MTRC Rider and Horse rankings and the Policy & Procedure for naming the Manitoba Team and latter the Squad that will represent Manitoba at the National CT Championship August long weekend in Alberta. We will be updating the spreadsheets throughout the summer and will be posting the files here and have paper copies at the rides. You can find your standing under the DRM rankings at the same page, for all those in both clubs.
If you note any errors of omissions please do let Maura know so that the corrections can be made.
To join the club or renew your MTRC memberships you can use the membership form on this website and mail it to contact listed therein.
