NWHA on the Trail
trail some of the obstacles
encountered included a
natural water crossing, a gate
and an uphill canter. Each
of these obstacles were
successfully navigated, with
only a minor penalty at the
water obstacle when Drifter
decided to steal a quick drink.
The arena obstacle challenge
included an L back, a round
of cantering and a small
jump! This dynamic gaited
horse and rider team brought
home a 1st place ribbon for
the arena challenge and a 2nd
place in trail for their division!
Though new to rail classes
and dressage, Taunya has
been competing with Drifter
at trail and arena obstacle
challenges for the past 4
yrs. As a team, these two get
better every time they go out. Just
getting out there and having fun is
what is most important but Taunya
also really enjoys showing the horse
world just how versatile the gaited
horse can be.
