Obstacle and Trail Challenge
We are having our 4th and final 2024 Obstacle and Trail Challenge on October 5, 2024. We will be posting the obstacle course and sign-up opens on the Friday before the show. You need to sign up in advance by messaging the club or Joy Mackay Gallupe. We will assign you an hourly time slot for your judged classes. Then after you complete your judged classes, you may go out back and complete any Gamblers and Extreme classes. The Extreme classes are $10 cash and you can do the class as many times as you want. ($10 per try).
There are 4 classes that you may enter:
In-Hand Judged, 10 obstacles
In-hand Gamblers: walk/trot class (you will go around and do as many obstacles on the course map as you can and you are trying to earn as many points as you can in a 2 minute period.)
Riding Judged (same 10 obstacles normally as in-hand)
Riding Gamblers (same as in-hand but riding)
The judged course is numbered and it flows in a logical order. It is not a test of memory, but rather a challenge of ability focusing on the relationship and skills you can showcase with your equine partner. For October, this course will be in the arena.
The Gambler's Course is a different set of obstacles and for the October show it will be held in the grass behind the arena. You choose your order and what obstacles you will be doing. The start line is in the middle of the course.
Mules, Donkeys, Mini's etc - all are welcome.
New to trail - come and join us - you will find a fun and friendly atmosphere without most of the stress required when having to memorize EVERYTHING.
You can sign up through Messenger. So you can come to our show and only have to be here for about an hour of show time plus any getting ready time. Or message 240-357-8855.
Please invite your friends! It is $25 per class for members and $30 for non-members. There is a $5 grounds fee for members and a $10 grounds fee per horse for non-members.
Please message for any more information. This flyer is just to announce that the event is coming up!
Extreme classes: (1-riding and 1- In-hand) The obstacle class is short, but very specific on what you have to do. Whoever is correct and also has the shortest time, will win a prize. $10 cash class payable on day of show. It is held at the end of the competition area and you can compete during other people's gamblers runs.
SO MUCH FUN! Placings are announced 1-2 days after the event is over. Ribbons will be arranged to be handed out or possibly at the next show. The ribbons for this show will be Fall themed also.
Please share this event with all of your friends!
Joy is also holding a Halloween themed event in October - by Appt. only - message her for more details if you are interested.
