Horsemen of Arkansas

An affiliate of American Horsemen Challenge Association

By Melinda Steele

Our July Challenge was held at Noah and Tina

Taylors house. They really spoiled us with that

awesome BBQ , homemade salsa and pickles!

Thank you so much Noah and Tina! You guys

raised the bar high.

The drag proved to be the most difficult obstacle.

Some of us had graceful, unplanned dismounts,

some rode bareback, and some of us had to get

off our horse and lead them through the scary

obstacles. I think we all fell in love with Joey the

Haflinger! He showed the most improvement

from his very first time on obstacles to his last

go.

Our final challenge of the competitie year is

coming, It will be held at Horsehead Equestrian

Stables and Event Center in Hartman, Arkansas

on September 8th and 9th! There is limited

housing available. Stalls will be provided with

shavings for those who need stalls. RV hookups

are also available.

Call 479-651-3429 for more info. You can also

visit their website at

www.horseheadstables.com. You can also find

them on Facebook.

Congrats to all the winners!
