April showers means muddy trails. Why not start the season with dry toes on the back of a horse? Just an hour away from the city is the lovely Wildwood Manor Ranch, a fun trail riding and horse facility that caters to riders of all abilities. Even if you've never been on a horse before, they'll give you instructions and the perfect horse to make your ride fun and enjoyable.

For those of us with a little more experience, or a death wish, there will be two groups - a walking and a 'running' group. The walking group will stick to safe and enjoyable and pleasant rides. The running group will gallop across open fields and get to ride horses with attitude. When you sign up, please let the coordinator know what kind of trail ride you'd like to have, and what experience you have.

Helmets are not required, but they will be available at the ranch. The TOC highly recommends wearing a helmet, especially if you plan on joining the running group, or you've never been on a horse before. The TOC president will be wearing a helmet and she has 25 yrs of riding experience!

We must book a few weeks in advance so you must send your deposit to the treasurer by the payment cut off date. When you sign up, you will be asked which method of payment you plan to pay with.

Frequently asked questions about payments and cut off dates:

  • Do I have to pay now? You do not have to pay at the time of sign up, but you do have to pay before the cut off date. It will be your responsibility to remember to pay
  • What if I sign up and don't pay? If you don't pay the deposit by the cut off date you will be removed from the event. The cut off date is the date I'll be booking the ride and I need to know who is seriously interested in going.
  • I can only pay by cheque but won't be on any events before the cutoff, what should I do? If you pay by cheque, email treasurer@TorontoOutdoorclub.com for the mailing address and the name the cheque should be written out to. Erik will give you that information. It must be received by the cut off date for you to keep your spot on the list. Even if the cheque is in the mail, you may lose your spot
  • I want to go but the event is full. Should I sign up on the waiting list? If payment has not been received and there is a waiting list, the open spot will go to the first person who pays on the waiting list, regardless of the waiting list order.
  • Can I reserve a place even if I'm on the waiting list? If you find yourself on the waiting list, you may make a deposit. If there are some extra spots by the cutoff date, your spot will be ensured. If there are no extra spots, your deposit will be returned.
  • what about service fees for paying by paypal or email transfer? if you pay by Paypal, your deposit will be recorded as $20 - processing fee. If you pay by interac, your bank will charge you, depending on the terms of your bank account. Unfortunately at this time the TOC does not have the resources to cover the processing fee.
