Welcome to the Tonopah High Desert "Spooktacular" ETS Event!
Come experience a relaxing weekend of fun in beautiful Tonopah Nevada, where the desert sagebrush is endless and the most beautiful sunsets are witnessed! Tonopah is a full-service community of about 2,600 residents located approximately 6,000 feet above sea level in the high desert of west central Nevada.
The Fairgrounds offer 18 covered stalls and 24 uncovered stalls for a small fee of $5.00 per night/per horse. Bring your own water buckets, hay bags and pooper scoopers.
We have a weekend full of fun events!!!
We will kick off Saturday morning at the Tonopah Fairgrounds just off Hwy-6 where we will have 2 "SPOOKTACULAR" obstacle courses for you to enjoy! The first obstacle course will be found outside the arena. The second obstacle course will be in the arena "under the arena lights".
Sunday we will all hit the trail on horseback, dressed in your favorite costume!!! After everyone has completed the obstacle trail, we will gather around for AWARDS!
