The countryside lost a great friend in September 2016 when renowned horseman, Patrick Keough, passed away unexpectedly. Patrick loved to be out on the trails. With the help of some generous donors we have created a trail fund in Patrick's memory.
There will be no charge for this ride, but we ask that all riders make some gift, however large or small, in Patrick's memory. To make a donation to the Patrick Keough Memorial Trail Fund click here (Please click the box marked "Patrick Keough Memorial Trail Fund" under Donation Designation). MANY THANKS! To learn about the 2022 trail project funded by contributions to The Fund in Memory of Patrick Keough see our website here.
Location and ride route details TBD and will be emailed to registrant. If you have any questions contact the office at office@ectaonline.org or 978-468-1133.
RELEASE FORM - Riders under 18 and a parent/guardian must sign this form and email or mail to ECTA office: office@ectaonline.org or PO Box 358, Hamilton, MA 01936.
