Dear BES Members and Friends,

​

​Trail Workdays and Volunteer Opportunities

Our trail workdays this year continued to ensure equestrian trails are well-maintained and available for everyone to enjoy!  Our last two days are scheduled for November 6th and 7th.  As we look forward, our planning for 2027 trail workdays is underway.  If you have ideas for improvements as well as areas we need to focus, please reach out and let us know.

​

Past and Upcoming BES Rides and Events

BES will held it's Fall Judged Pleasure Ride on September 27th and its Historical Ride on October 10th.  We thank everyone who participated or volunteered for these events!!  Without the support of volunteers, these rides could not be held - Thank you all!!  All proceeds from these rides help support of the equestrian trails in the Battlefield.

​

Guided Informational Rides

BES offers Guided Informational Rides upon request.  These rides are designed to help members become familiar with the trails in Manassas Battlefield Park. If you are interested or have specific topics you would like to learn about, please reach out to any BES Board member.  These rides are for BES members only but you can easily join up if interested.
