Thoughtful design by former rider Chris Sherrod.

Here we are friends, approaching the 24th BYOBW!  A welcome respite from the bullsh*t swirling around, a kick in the booty to your ennui, yeeting the heck out of our perennial depression. Let’s DO THIS.

  • When: April 5th, 2026
  • Time: Young kids 13 and under roll 2pm-3pm, Adult Children 3pm-5pm
  •  Rider registration check in from 12pm to 4pm (closes at 4!) – screen cap your registration and show to get your wristband
  • Where: Vermont St at 20th in beautiful Potrero Hill (use public transpo or ride share – drop off at 20th and Kansas, Dorothy) 
  • Please respect the neighborhood and clean up after yourself. Take your garbage home with you! Sincerely, not your mom.
  • IMPORTANT: Riders: use the park side stairs to walk back up the hill. Spectators: remember to keep the sidewalks clear along the event course so people can move freely.                                                                                                                                                   
  • NO UNAUTHORIZED VENDING AND NO PROMOTIONAL ADVERTISING
  • THERE ARE NO LARGE SOUND SYSTEMS ALLOWED IN THE PARK OR STREET CLOSURE [rave elsewhere my dudes]

Please read the Code of Conduct and Frequently Asked Questions and reach out with any questions to the BYOBW Crew.

Donations can be made via Venmo or Paypal (send as a gift or to frens n fam) and you can always throw down cash at the event. We are determined to keep this event free for those who need it as well as free of corporate branding and product advertising. This event is truly powered by YOU dear riders, our favorite long time donor Bob and the sweat and exhaustion of the phenomenal volunteers who keep coming back every year to make the magic. Big gratitude to Chris Sherrod for another beautiful sticker collaboration with us.

We’d also love some donations to go to Penny For A Change, the amazing people who help us source, transport and take away the hay bales (actually, they are edible grass!). Penny For A Change is a non-profit who help low income youth learn about horse riding and equine care. If you put in your donation notes “For Penny” or “For the horses” or if you only speak emoji then put a horse and we’ll make sure they get the funds.
