What is NASMA VTP? NASMA Versatility Trail Program is designed to reward the hours you spend in the saddle or driving your mule or donkey outside of the arena. This program was devised for those individuals who want to promote the mule and donkey to the public as the best and most reliable of trail animals. NASMA believes the recreational ability of riding or driving the saddle mule or donkey on the trail is just as important as competitions when educating the public about the benefits of Saddle mule and donkey ownership.
To enroll in the VTP, you must be a member of NASMA pay a onetime enrollment fee of $30. You must remain an active member for the duration of time in which you are recording hours toward a recognition level and you must ride or drive a mule or donkey. You do not have to own that mule or donkey nor does it have to be registered to enroll in VTP. Endurance riders may compute their miles at 4 miles per hour (4:1 ratio). NASMA VTP offers bonus double hours to members, who log time on national trails, as recognized by the Canadian or U.S. National Parks Service (state or provincial parks are not included.) You can accrue and log hours spent in leisure riding or driving on the trail or participation in endurance, competitive trials and parades.
VTP has several rides already planned for 2017 that include Leatherwood Mule Days in North Carolina and Cinco De Mayo Ride in Missouri. There is also a VTP Trail Ride and NASMA Show held Memorial Day weekend in Talihina Oklahoma at the Horse Heaven Ranch. If you would like more information about the NASMA VTP or how you can host your own VTP ride you can reach VTP Chair Pamela Bennett at [email protected] or by calling 620-341-0714.
