We really are looking forward to the 2019 Mountain Trail Challenge season! It is very exciting that OQHA will, once again, be promoting the Mountain Trail at our facility with offering over $5000 in high point awards from our shows here at Creek Side Horse Park. This is an all-breed award, you do not have to ride a Registered Quarter Horse which opens the door to so many more possibilities with your horses!! We will be taking the best of 8 shows at our facility for 2019. The mix of IMTCA and OQHA is making the possibilities endless in this sport!

I am really looking forward to running this new adventure for OQHA by bringing the high point in and it is looking promising that we will also be hosting the 2019 Mountain Trail Challenge at QH Congress either the 3rd or 4th weekend in October (TBA). This is a great honor from OQHA to be able to bring all this to the table. We look forward to utilizing IMTCA for setting the standards in all these competitions with the certified courses and certified judges.

hat a great 1st season hosting IMTCA sanctioned mountain trail challenges and the first ever IMTCA Regional Challenge here at Creek Side Horse Park! We had a great turn out with over 250 entries for the 3 days! Can’t thank everyone enough that helped make the regionals happen and all our competitors coming out to support us in our first year. It took a great team to make everything come together in such a short amount of time.
