The Cleveland Metroparks Mounted Unit is proud to offer our Ride the Beach fundraiser for its 8th consecutive year! Thank you to the generous support of our presenting sponsor our Official Community Sponsor the Cuyahoga County Horseman’s Council along with Centerra-Purina and the continued support of Big Dee’s Tack and Vet Supply, as the Mounted Unit looks forward to sharing our beautiful Lakefront Reservation with you!
Our event provides the public an opportunity to bring their own horse and ride the Cleveland shoreline at historic Edgewater Beach- taking in the spectacular views, plenty of photo opportunities, and time in the water if you choose. Proceeds directly assist the Mounted Unit with specialized equipment purchases and unique training opportunities.
Ticket sales will be online and begin July 21th at 9am. Space is limited! Registration for Ride the Beach will utilize our new registration service. Please note that new and returning registrants will need to create an account in the new system ahead of registering. Participants may only register members within the same household. This does not guarantee tickets.
New for 2025, we are bringing back the ride to Whiskey Island for one ride only! Please read carefully. This guided ride has a higher level of stimulus as we ride past an active industrial area. Once back to Wendy Park, there will be a photo opportunity with the Flats as the backdrop. Included is still the loop to the Cleveland sign, and finish with a ride on the beach. This time slot is longer due to the additional travel time to Whiskey Island and back.
