This Trail Obstacle event will take place in the "Alta Coulee" which was formed eons ago by melting glaciers. With Billygoat Mountain to the East and Arbuckle to the West, the coulee floor provides beautiful landscapes and scenic trail riding that allows for all levels of riders, as it does not gain much in elevation.
If you prefer to use a highline please reserve one when registering, limited to 4 familiar horses per line. Large freshwater tanks will be onsite to fill water buckets. There will be a designated area to dump animal waste, bring your pick fork, muck bucket, and/or wheelbarrow for easy clean up. Trash cans will be available for garbage disposal and Honey Buckets will be onsite.
For those who would like to haul in just for the day, there will be a $10 charge each person each day.
