On 6 - 8 June 2008, NAMI Colorado Springs held a fundraising event called Ride for the Mind. The Ride was a North American Trail Ride Conference sanctioned event with riders from all over the country participating. This gallery contains a few photos from the event.

The North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRC) is a national sanctioning body for competitive trail rides in the United States. It is based on philosophies of stimulating the breeding and use of equines possessed of stamina and hardiness for trail riding and to encourage good horsemanship, training and conditioning of these equines.

NATRC has developed a philosophy of competitive trail riding with uniform judging being of paramount importance. Uniformity of rules aids management in conducting rides and makes it easier for judges to evaluate each horse and rider on a more objective basis.
