We, the undersigned, request that multi-use trails that exist be re-opened and/or new trails be established in the National Military Battlefield areas of Northern and Central Virginia. Namely the Wilderness, Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania Courthouse, and Fredericksburg City Battlefields which were closed to all equine activities several years ago.

    • This great country was built by the hard work of men and women, with the help of horses and mules. Without these elements, this country would not be what it is today. This is why I support this cause.
