Please RSVP to this contact if you intend to attend. jmcalpin@HomeInnovation.com | P: 301.430.6306 

If you are planning to attend the scavenger hunt, let us know the following by Monday: 

1. Do you plan to bring a guest? So far nobody has RSVP’d with a guest, so we will likely save one of our “open” insurances for later if only members plan to attend this event. 

2. RSVP! (If you have RSVP’d, do not stop reading this email- see #3 below). So far we have Mary (coordinator), Shelly, Dianne, Sigi, Amanda, Clara, and Barb as attending. 

3. If you are attending with a horse and are not a Maxwell Hall member, we need the make, model, and tag number of your truck and trailer. There will be a $10 fee for non-members. If your horses are carpooling with someone, we just need this information from the person hauling the horses. The $10 fee does not apply to those participating without horses. 

Here is all of the original information for reference: The scavenger hunt and hike will be September 21 from 12:00-4:00 at Maxwell Hall Equestrian Park. There will be both mounted and unmounted options, and we will have a potluck afterward. Water and light snacks will be provided. This is a fun ride with no ribbons awarded, but we will have some goodies for the horses. Participants will receive a list of items to photograph during their ride or hike. 

Location: 6680 Maxwell Dr., Hughesville MD. Do not just punch “Maxwell Hall” into your maps app. Sometimes this will take you to another nearby location. 

Details: 

• Mounted riders will be using the Blue trail, 2.8 miles
• Unmounted Red trail 1.8 miles, approximately a 40 to 50 minute leisurely walk

Park Regulations/Safety/Paperwork: 

• Read Maxwell Hall’s regulations here: https://www.charlescountymd.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/24/637080839261770000 
• All participants (mounted and unmounted) must sign an OPRC release form. Members who have not signed a release form this calendar year must sign a new one. We will have copies of releases at Maxwell Hall the day of. 
• Negative Coggins required for all horses. 
• Riders must wear a boot with a heel and a helmet.
• Medical information (medical armband, road ID, etc.) must be worn by all riders. 

Thanks, 

Sarah
