THE KELSO LADDIES RIDE TO YETHOLM
​Saturday 23rd July 2022

Please be aware this information is provisional at this time
The Kelso Laddie and his mounted supporters will leave Kelso Racecourse at 8.00am.
They will be led to The Square before departing at 8.30am Hon. President Gavin Horsburgh will wish the riders
“Safe Oot, Safe In”.
The route to be taken under the direction of the Chief Marshall, Ex-Kelso Laddie Robert Hogarth will be via the old railway line down to Sprouston, Pot’s Close, Lempitlaw, stopping for refreshments at Hoselaw, then by Wideopen and Venchen Hill.    (Link to route map at the foot of this page)
Arrival at Yetholm War Memorial expected at 11.15am where the Kelso Laddie will place a wreath.

The party will then proceed to The Green, Kirk Yetholm, where greetings will be exchanged with the Yetholm Festival Committee, and the Laddie and his supporters will be welcomed by the Chairman of Yetholm Community Council or their representative.
Refreshments will be available on The Green at Kirk Yetholm.
Those competing for the oldest and youngest riders cups or making the Ride for the first time should give their names to Margaret Riddell MBE, at the Haugh, Yetholm.
At 1.30pm the riders will leave Yetholm, proceeding to Primside, Linton (approx. 2.45pm), Bowmont Forest and Spylaw.   The Laddie will lead his followers into the town arriving in Kelso Square at 4.30pm where the Laddie will be presented with his Blue Bonnet by Valerie Neil, before saluting the Cavalcade.

The route is under the discretion of the Chief Marshall, Ex-Kelso Laddie Robert Hogarth and is subject to change on the day.   (Link to route map is at the foot of this page)

A Challenge Cup gifted by the late Ex-Kelso Laddie David Brunton will be presented by the President, Dean Weatherston, to the youngest rider completing the journey with or without the aid of a leading rein. The Rodger Fish Cup will also be presented to the oldest rider completing the journey. They will be escorted into The Square by the Chief Marshal
immediately behind the Principals.

Those completing the Yetholm Ride for the first time can collect their commemorative badge (£2.00 each) at the Racecourse after the ride.
NOTE – Please note that the ride to Yetholm will leave from Kelso Racecourse and that the parking of vehicles will only be permitted at the Racecourse. Only Official Cars will be allowed in the first field below the New Bridge when the cavalcade departs Kelso. On the return journey from Yetholm riders are asked to be mounted by 1.25pm.
After meetings with Health and Safety the Committee regrets we cannot allow horses in amongst cars on the Haugh at Yetholm. There will be a roped off area for horses only.
Parking at Yetholm Haugh.
​Due to substantial costs for essential cover at the Rideouts the
Car Park at the Haugh will this year will again be £5.
