In order to ride with TEWR you must turn in your completed waiver BEFORE your first ride. This is required in order to protect our liability as well as the owner of any winery or property you may be pulling into on ride day. The waiver can be mailed to the club's PO Box or you may scan and email it to the ride planner before your first ride. (*If scanning, please turn in your original at the ride!) The original signed document must be on file for all riders and is good for 1 year. Our trail riding rules are included with the waiver for your review. You need only turn in the completed first page of waiver document, making sure to initial all places highlighted in red and sign/complete. Always make a copy for your records. Thank you and we look forward to riding with you!

*New riders (only 2 per ride) must be sponsored by an existing TEWR member
in good standing and turn in your TEWR waiver before the ride. Please
indicate in the "message to the ride planner" box on the RSVP form who your
sponsor is. This is for everyone's (horse and human) safety. TEWR waiver
and rules can be downloaded from the homepage. Your sponsor is your
resource for any questions you may have.
Sponsors you are responsible for the "new rider" you invite!
If they have any questions about the rides, TEWR practices or issues that may arise they need to go to you. Please make sure the person and horse that you invite is able to function at the riding, communication and responsibility level we require. It is too much for the ride planner to receive numerous calls and emails regarding simple questions that are easily answered by a TEWR sponsor, actually reading the detailed ride email communications or checking on the website. If you, as the sponsor, still need an answer please contact one of these leadership members: Dave , Vicki, Gil, Anne, Silver or Juanita.
Thank you for your cooperation. We have grown so much and become so active in the horse community on many levels. The incredible amount of time and effort that goes into the ride planning, website, facebook, newsletter, trails/winery PR, "Coalition of Trails Enthusiasts" issues and emails is demanding.
Please remember there are only 2 new rider spots per ride and be considerate of others when taking these spots. Sponsors are also expected to ride with their new rider on the TEWR ride and assist/mentor them.
You may sponsor up to 2 new riders per year, we ask that you spread this out, so as to not sponsor more than 1-2 riders every 6 months. We are not looking to get so big that our rides exceed 30 riders, as this is the number we feel we can manage most adequately.
Thanks Again, The Leadership Group
Ride Cancellation Policy
When we have a ride with an associated donation (examples: to a state park, school or lunch fee) it is non-refundable, unless another rider can be found to take the reserved spot. We will do everything we can to make this happen, nobody wants to pay a donation for a ride they did not go on. We feel this is the fair thing to do, as the rides get closed when we meet our approved number of RSVP's each month. At this point, others are told the ride is full. We realize it's "just a horseback ride" and people get sick or things like work and family are more important, but others are usually "in line" for our rides at one point. Please do not RSVP if you are in doubt you can make the ride.
We just want people to understand why cancellations are an issue for some (not all) of the rides.
Thank You, TEWR Leadership Team
