# rideandtie.org - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `rideandtie.org` ## Description The Ride and Tie Association, established in 1988, is devoted to the stewardship of the sport of Ride & Tie. Their mission is to promote and enhance the sport through various activities. They disseminate information about Ride & Tie to attract new participants and improve the level of competition, horsemanship, and athletic performance. The Association establishes rules and standards for Ride & Tie competitions to ensure the safety and well-being of both human and equine contestants. They also take measures to ensure the longevity of the sport. Ride & Tie is a unique sport that combines trail running, endurance riding, and strategic thinking. The objective is for a team of two humans and one horse to traverse a 20-100 mile cross-country course. The team alternates between riding and running, strategically exchanging positions to maintain a suitable pace. This requires careful consideration of each team member's strengths, weaknesses, and the terrain of the course. Ride & Tie is not just a physical challenge but also a mental one. The sport was invented by Bud Johns in 1971, inspired by historic accounts of people covering great distances on horseback and foot. The first-ever Levis Ride & Tie race was organized in St. Helena, California, and since then, Ride & Tie has grown in popularity. To learn more about the sport's rich history, you can read Bud John's book, What Is This Madness? or 40 Years of Madness: A History of Ride & Tie Championships by Annette Parsons. The Ride & Tie Association is committed to supporting the growth of Ride & Tie and provides resources, including mentorship, clinics, videos, and a network of fellow enthusiasts. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, they also accept donations to further the sport. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a newcomer, join the Ride and Tie Association to experience the thrill and strategy of this one-of-a-kind sport. ## Industries - 🏈 Sports - 🐶 Pets and Animals - 🐶 Horses _(under Pets and Animals)_ ## Links - [twitter](https://twitter.com/share) - [instagram](https://instagram.com/ridentie) - [youtube](https://youtube.com/channel/UCbG1L-hqBrCC5T6RikoGh4g) - [facebook](https://facebook.com/sharer) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/id-PolRr3b/w/210/h/99/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1787151514034) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Earls Green | #aabf3d | accent | | Mallard | #2b4721 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - Inter — asset _(google)_ - var(--h2_typography-font-family) — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
