M**der Mystery Trail Ride

“You don’t throw a whole life away just because it got banged up a little.”

- Tom Smith, Secretariat’s trainer

From equine therapy to the healing power of gospel, we’re celebrating healing at this year’s M**der Mystery Trail Ride!

As in the past, up to 80 riders will gather and compete to solve this year’s “M**der Mystery” with clues that take them through the woods and back to the scenic grounds of The Cliffs.

Non-riders will gather on the lawn at The Cliffs, where riders will eventually join them, for an afternoon celebration of food, live gospel music, and exhibitions and presentations on a wide range of healing treatments and modalities—from Jovē water to equine therapy to NAD* (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

It’s all to raise essential funding for NAD Research and patient care.

NAD Research is a nonprofit devoted to advancing understanding of the foundational molecule (NAD), which is found in every cell in the human body. Treatments involving NAD are giving hope to patients struggling with addiction, alcoholism, depression, post-traumatic stress, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and even CTE (the concussion disease) and TBI (traumatic brain injury).

Special features of this year’s Trail Ride:

• It’s all about healing! Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we’re able to gather in person again with renewed commitment to health and wellness.
• A “Healing Festival” with information, demonstrations, and displays from BR+NAD, Jovē Water, Yoga Rouge, Saratoga War Horse Foundation, and others.
• Live gospel music performed by local choirs!
• A tribute to loved ones we have lost from the Greatest Generation and all those who came after.
• Celebrity riders! This year’s special guests include:

-- Jerry Whitlock, founder of Jovē Water, who in 1974 was named Oklahoma’s best All-Around Cowboy

-- David Carter, horse trainer, Double C Ranch, champion of the 2010 Louisiana Colt Starting Challenge, and 008 Extreme Mustang Makeover Finalist

-- Katrina (Trinkette) Parker, three-time world champion barrel racer

-- Fenton LeBon, US and Argentinian polo player and trainer

Non-riders welcome! Come enjoy food and beverages, live gospel music, spacious grounds, healing presentations, and the company of horses and a donkey named Lagniappe!

Ticket-holding guests (non-riders) will be transported from the Natchez Visitors Center parking lot to The Cliffs Plantation by shuttle van operated by First Class Limousine Service.

• Commissioned poster, hats, and T-shirts available for purchase!

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential nutrient, a coenzyme of Vitamin B3, which is involved in many cell processes—from energy production to neurotransmission to DNA repair. Although the body is capable of producing its own NAD, naturally-occurring NAD levels decline with age, illness, and other stressors. Our experience at Springfield Wellness Center demonstrates that intravenous NAD supplementation can dramatically reduce NAD deficiency symptoms in addiction, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, CTE, and other neurodegenerative conditions, as well as in depression, post-traumatic stress, chemo-fog, and long Covid.
