Running I Ranch is located in the beautiful California North Central Valley just at the base of the Coastal Mountains. Conveniently located just an hour north of Sacramento (I-5) and two hours east of the Bay Area (I-505). There is an array of fun obstacles to play and compete on which will be utilized for our weekend events!
Dry camping is available. Campers must use 12' x 12' paddocks for horses and bring their own shavings. Day use parking allowed to tie to trailers.
Sunday Education Classes - In-Hand & Mounted Try obstacles, receive immediate scores & feedback from judges, practice, then try again. Note: Judges will not share training tips. This event is for schooling purposes and not meant as a clinic.
This will be structured the same as a regular Equine Trail Sports competition. Handlers and Riders will sign-up for "ride-out" times at the check-in process (see Agenda tab for the full-day schedule). Up to 8 riders will be allowed in each 1 hour 20 minute group with 8 obstacles. This should give everyone time to get through each obstacle twice.
Lunch Class - During lunch we'll have a sit down class explaining general judging criteria, event and tournament scoring and more!
Flat, easy footing in obstacle arena and throughout property trail course, sand footing in warm up arena and round pen.
At your leisure, food truck may be available
