Hey Reddit campers, I have a challenge for you.

Google is forsaking me. I know there are a few campsites booked under paddling that can actually be accessed by a car. Kingscote is one, I’m quite sure Crotch is another, but is there another one I’m forgetting??

TYIA!!

Edit: on further thought I don’t think Crotch is one of the ones I’m thinking of… but I promise there is at least one campsite legally accessible right on the edge of a road, and the park themselves told me about it and that it could have a trailer on it, but it was years ago and it’s making me nuts that I can’t remember.

Might be Billy or Buck though, thanks Sketchy and UncleJR (not least of all for not immediately assuming I’m lawless or distinctly wrong lol)

I started riding at a new schooling barn about a month ago. I’ve bounced around to a lot of different barns due to moving, barns closing, etc. but this is the first time I’ve ridden somewhere where no one (except me) ever seems to kiss or cluck… No one has said it’s not allowed or anything, but I haven’t heard anyone else do it over 5 hour long group lessons. Not the coaches at horses, not other riders on horses. Not one cluck.

Is this weird? Is it etiquette all my other barns just didn’t subscribe to? To be clear, I’ve ridden in lots of group lessons before, so if this is a thing you don’t do when riding with others around it’s genuinely news to me. I’m starting to wonder if I’m being a jerk or something by doing it…

Edit: to be clear I mean using your voice as a cue to the horse you are riding while in a schooling situation NOT during a test/competition or when working privately in a mixed use kind of scenario.

Obviously I understand not clucking at/near unknown horses or hot horses and how that could cue them! I mean specific to during lessons in a schooling barn as a normal cue in your arsenal of cues, and one trainers have taught. I’ve trained with some really high caliber trainers in dressage and eventing and also at smaller barns with non-competitive coaches and this is a different experience than I’m used to (but one I’m happy to do my best to follow the etiquette of!) and I’m curious what people’s experiences have been in their barns.
