I have competed in AOC's and CTC's all over the Southern United States but am always happy to head home to Texas to make a 'Five Star Ride Hosts' ride!
I can honestly say Val Delana hosts the most well organized, professionally run ACTHA Rides I have participated in. I have been going to Val's ACTHA since 2010. Her rides start at the advertised time, progress smoothly, and the judge's scores are tallied and awards given within the hour. She always has gone above and beyond the norm seeking donations for door prizes and High Point Awards. Her efforts for generous donations like Tractor Supply Company's $25.00 gift cards and Lone Star Western and Casual Wear in Athens,Tx. gifts of boots, things all riders eagerly anticipate winning

I had the pleasure, once again, of riding in two AOC's January 23 & 24. I was excited to know my ride was scored by all Certified Judges and the obstacles were well thought out and challenging. The obstacles were just perfect for a 'Winter Warmup' arena obstacle challenge!
