What is a good way to start a trail riding club?

[snapcracklepop]

I'm moving to a different state and I don't know anyone. I thought maybe there would be a riding club type thing because it's such a large horse area but I can't seem to find anything. I'm not looking for profit just a group of people who enjoy riding to get out and ride when they can. I was thinking maybe a facebook group? But then again I don't know anyone yet so I don't know how I'd get people to join. What are some good ideas to start a riding group/club?

You could always do the facebook group and see if it's possible to just invite a mass group of people from the area?

Meetup.com
go to the local tack shop that has a bulletin board and post a flyer
Facebook
barn flyers

If you do Facebook, you join the clubs that are already there and state what your point of joining is.

One more thing you can try is check out if your new state has a state "Horse Council" organization. You should be able to find them online.
In our state the members help maintain the trails at all of the State & National Parks/Forests and have trail rides and other events announced on the website. You don't have to become a member as they announce most of the horse events going on in the state.

First, look around when you get there. There could be any number of local groups. If not, you and your new friends go for a trail ride. Then you set it up again. That is how they start. More people get invited and someday, maybe, it is a huge event.

All you have to do is go out and have fun.
