There will be obstacles set up in and around the arena. Riders will have the opportunity to practice on the obstacles and get an opportunity to ask questions about ETS competitions, judging and what they can expect at our next ETS Event at Trails Etc.
Trails Etc has a small outdoor arena with an obstacle playground, electric & water hook-ups, outdoor stalls, and plenty of room for primitive camping. There are rooms available nearby.
Trails Etc as featured on Best of America by Horseback is a family owned and operated trail business with all the trails on privately owned land. No matter how long you want to ride, there are miles & miles of trails offering wide manicured trails in dense woodland, wide open spaces, and plenty of water crossings – all sandy enough for barefoot horses.
For the event: Please call Trails Etc 334-740-1336 to reserve and make a deposit to hold your night stay and stalls. Spaces are limited, a 50% deposit is required & is not refundable on event weekends. All reservations are made through Trails Etc. Dogs by permission only (not on event weekends)
If what you want to book is already reserved, We will put you on the waiting list and go over what else might be available. A deposit for a primitive camp spot will put you on the waiting list for a hookup.
