Event Details

Come ride a 10 mile trail challenge in beautiful Logan Hubble Memorial Park. We will have no less than six obstacles set up on the trail to challenge you and your equine partner.  Groups of five riders (competitors and recreational riders) will head out every 10 minutes.  Sign up as a recreational rider if you are not ready to compete, just want to see what an event looks like, have a green equine, or just want to ride along.  Recreational riders are not allowed to school on the obstacles but will have a great time just the same.  The trails will allow you plenty of room for social distancing.     

Logan Hubble Memorial Park is a public facility.  You may encounter other riders out for a trail ride during the ETS event.  Please use proper trail etiquette.  Always identify your equine with red (kickers) or yellow (stallions) ribbons tied in the tail and mane. Obstacles will be placed in areas that are open, safe, and passable for all riders. 

The Logan Hubble Trail Challenge is included in the 2020 Bluegrass Tournament.  See below for details.
