The Scout provides many invaluable services to trail riders.
A few of the scouts' duties include enforcing policies the Trail Ride and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo,
keeping riders behind the wagons and out of harms way, advising hazards and on-coming traffic,
keeping spectators out of harm's way, assisting with unruly or injured animals, repairing or replacing broken
tack or equipment, and assisting with medical attention if necessary.
Trail Ride scouts are expert horsemen and patient advisors and strong voices of authority.
