Event Details

Saturday

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

The Terrain

The In-Hand and Obstacle Courses will use the existing obstacle course, the arena and the area between the campground and the area.

The trail course will meander along the existing trail system including down to the river. The terrain is natural.  The footing varies from dirt to pine needle covered natural ground cover. We will be using trails located within the Equestrian area.  Most trails are wide and easy.  There are some rocks, gravel, and water.  The trail is designed to be beginner safe.  

Please, you know your equine and your choice is best. Barefoot, Booted or Shod.
