Event Details

It will be hot, but we'll be ready! 75% of the trail is in the shade. All obstacles and staging areas are in the shade. Shade provided in the pavilion for you and your equine. Wash racks available to cool down before you haul out.

This Trail Course will be just a part of the great fun that will be going on at the Dripping Springs Ranch Park on this day! RED ARENA, a Therapeutic Riding Center located in Dripping Springs, will be holding their annual Round Up, a fund raiser consisting of tons of festivities such as wine tasting, great TX BBQ, a HUGE silent auction from local Dripping Springs merchants (we have lots of great breweries and shops!), lots of games for the entire family, and equine events for the kiddos from Red Arena! All proceeds from this event will go to Red Arena. For more information on Red Arena, please visit their website RedArena.org.
