RIDE REGISTRATION ANNOUNCED
The 2012 Edinburgh riding Of The Marches will take place on Sunday 9th September (the 499th anniversary of the Battle of Flodden). Ride registration opens on Thursday 9th February at 8pm. You can register through this site after that time by visiting the 2012 Ride Registration page and filling in the form. A non-returnable registration fee of £10 is required at point of registration. The registration fee goes entirely towards the costs of holding the event. Remember, the ride tends to fill up real quick so don't hang about.
GOOD LUCK and whether you are riding or not, we hope to see you on the Royal Mile on 9th September.
NEW MAIN EVENT SPONSOR
The Riding Of the Marches sets off from The Drum every year, marking the Southern most boundary of the City Of Edinburgh. This would not be feasible without the kind permission of landowners, the More-Nisbett family. In these times of austerity funding an event like ours only gets harder so we have great pleasure in announcing that as well as welcoming us onto his land every year, Mr Alan More-Nisbett's company, Drum Feeds have agreed to become the EMRA main event sponsor for 2012.
Drum Feeds is a long established Specialist Equestrian Store, who stock feed, bedding, tack, riding apparel, rugs, pet supplies and much more. Keep an eye on this site for regular offers and reductions to their already very competitive prices.
