Sunday evening the team was called out to rescue 3 very experienced equestrian riders who left a staging area just east of the Washington Overlook at 0900 hrs for a 2-3 hour ride. After heading out on TNF trail 66, they entered the Burlington Ridge Motorcycle Trail system. After getting disoriented they continued to make loops and poor choices. At around 1800 hrs they called family stating they were lost in an area east of the Five Mile House At 2030 they called 911 which gave us their GPS location.
Our Hasty Team and Motorcycle Team responded and located the 3 riders and all were in good health. The oldest member of the group was driven out as she could no longer ride due to preexisting health issues, and her horse was lame. After a 1.4 mile walk out, they were shuttled over to their vehicles; which they returned to load the horses.
