Ft Robinson Remount Endurance Ride
Are you ready to step back into time?
Come join us September 23-24, 2023, for a new ride at Fort Robinson State Park in western Nebraska. We will be hosting a 25/50 mile ride each day, plus an Intro ride on each day. Stunning Fort Robinson State Park comprises more than 22,000 acres of exquisite Pine Ridge scenery, compelling Old West history, exceptional lodging, scenic camping and the park’s own buffalo and longhorn herds.
As its name implies, Fort Robinson was operated as a fort from the early days of the Old West until after World War II. Many original buildings survive and remain in use at the park today, and others have been reconstructed. Fort Robinson was the site of the 1879 Cheyenne Outbreak and the death of famed Sioux Warrior Crazy Horse. At one point, it was the largest US cavalry remount station with more than 12,000 horses onsite. Over the years, the fort served the Red Cloud Indian Agency, K-9 dog training center, POW camp and beef research station. It was established as a state park in 1962.
While Ft. Robinson is an equestrian paradise with horse campgrounds, barns with stalls and miles and miles of trails; it is also a family friendly destination with lots to do for the non-equestrian members of your family.
