The Eastern Competitive Trail Ride Association (ECTRA) was founded in 1970 and is a non-profit organization vitally interested in encouraging the growth and understanding of distance riding and driving. Our goal is achieved through rider education and sanctioning standardized, veterinarian judged competitions throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.
Love to trail ride? Looking for a sport the whole family can enjoy? Then come ride with us!
Competitive Trail Rides offer the opportunity to ride marked trails ranging from 10 to 40 miles in a day. Events are timed, but do not use any man‐made obstacles. Horses are evaluated by vets prior to, during, and after each ride. Ribbons and prizes are awarded at the end of most rides.
