About The Venue

This is a private ranch in Smith Valley Nevada. There is a large covered arena, an outdoor arena and cross country course, and access to BLM is right out the gate. 

Event Details

Saturday and Sunday:

Obstacle Trail (OT) – a relaxing short trail ride with judged obstacles as you ride. All riding disciplines are welcome.

In Hand (IH) – a dismounted event in an arena/field, halter and lead rope preferred. All equines welcome – any size, breed, and age.

Saturday Evening:

Summer School, we will have voting to decide on several obstacles to set up in the covered arena and have open practice. Take advantage of this opportunity to school your equine away from home on obstacles you may not have!

The Terrain

Sand and rocks with sage brush. Mostly flat. The arenas are groomed footing.

Meals

Please provide your own food.

Friday and Saturday evenings we would like to gather as friends to sit around the fire and get to know each other. There is always the possibility we will have smores! A BBQ Saturday is also possible, contact event host to discuss options.

Awards
