Facebook Groups
The Green Beans started through a grass-roots effort on Facebook and expanded from there. At the heart of the Green Beans are Facebook groups where Green Beans can ask questions, share experiences, and seek support from one another as well as mentors. In addition to the "Green Bean Endurance" group for all Green Beans regardless of location, the are both local/regional groups so that Green Beans can connect specifically with other riders in their area for mentoring, asking location-specific questions, and riding together! Don't have a regional or local group for your area? Create one! There's even a Green Bean group specifically for helping you do that, too. Join on group or join them all!
The Green Bean Facebook Groups were created based on the following rules:
1) No scoffing! We were all green once and we're all still learning.
2) "Always" and "Never" are 'never' allowed! ;) No one is the absolute authority on endurance riding or horses, so respect differences of opinion.
