Also, the county voted a unanimous YES to oppose the implementation of a trail
rider fee. The OBR Machickanee Trail System for Horses will remain FREE!
The Outback Riders have proven to be responsible stewards of the trails and we
do so through our volunteer and fund raising efforts. We host an annual
two-day horse show that has grown to be our most successful fund raiser of the
year, along with our Friday night speed series. Our raffle license allows us an
additional method of earning funds, as well as our door-to-door sponsorship
drive to sell advertisements in our Trail Sponsors book. In addition,
we’ve applied for and received matching grants from the Wisconsin State Horse
Council trails committee. All of these monies are being used to provide
the horse owner with a safe and free place to ride their horse in the
Machickanee Forest of Oconto County.
As always, we are
committed to maintaining and improving the trail system. We have many
plans for improvement of the trail system that will complement the many
improvements that the dedicated Outback Riders Members have already implemented.
THANK YOU to EVERYONE who continues to help OBR to reach their goals!
