ANTs Trail Horse Challenge
The Trail Horse Challenge consists of 3 events:
Trail Obstacles,
a Barrel Race, and
a Keyhole.
You are invited to participate with one or 2 horses and can ride AND/OR compete online.
Green Horse/Handler Class or Open Class
To make it fair, we're offering a Green Horse/Handler Class or an Open Class. If you nominate a horse in the Green Horse section, it cannot compete in the Open section. Similarly, an Open Horse cannot compete in the Green Horse section however you can compete in both Ridden and Online with the same horse if you wish.
Judges: Tammy Wiehl from Wittigo Estate and Jim Mitchell
Your judge for the Obstacle Challenge is Tammy Wiehl from Wittigo Estate and for the Barrell Race and Keyhole is Jim Mitchell. They will both be focussing on assessing your relationship over and above achieving the obstacles. They will be evaluating the following:
Horsemanship | Confidence | Obstacles
There is a $20 entry fee per horse for the day.
