Competitive Mounted Orienteering (CMO)

Has anyone heard of Competitive Mounted Orienteering (CMO) ? The link is in the "Riding Clubs" section in the side column.
It's a treasure hunt on horseback! This sounds like a lot of fun & something I'd love to do.

Other areas of the US have many rides scheduled for the year, but our area doesn't have much activity. NY, NJ, & PA are combined into one area. The closest ride to me is at Borderland Farms in Warwick, NY (near the NY/NJ border).
I'd love to get this type of thing going more here in NY.

If you don't know how to read a compass, they teach you & put you with an experienced rider. You can't go wrong.

"Success is not a matter of speed. A competitor moving too fast through a station area can easily miss a clue, and lose valuable time... "

"Riders can ride at any pace that suits their experience level and preference. Competitive riders will find plenty of stiff competition to test their riding and map skills, while families and riders wishing to have a more leisurely pace can enjoy a more relaxed competition. "

Check it out!!
