Prizes

Double points will be awarded for riders placing in their respective divisions. Members will compete for cash and prizes totaling well over $5,000, as wellas door prizes and gifts for riders.

You don’t need to be an ACTHA member to take part in the festivities; you can compete for the blue ribbon or ride for pleasure.

The Challenges

Competitive Trail Challenges are six miles long and include 6 obstacles one mile apart. Unlike other competitive trail challenges, this is not a timed event over the course, but does include a time limit at each obstacle. Winners are determined by their ability to execute the obstacles while demonstrating their horsemanship skills to the judges. Arena Obstacle Challenges will take place in an arena, either indoors or outdoors, and are composed of eight obstacles. As with the CTC riders are judged on their horsemanship skills. There is a time limit at each obstacle depending on the division of the rider, as well as a time limit for the completion of the course.

Live music by up and coming country singer Josey Milner and a Barn Dance! Make new friends or ride with old on miles of scenic trails.

Space is limited so register early!
