2024 Show Dates
2024 Show Dates are SET!
Our Show Committee has been working hard to develop this coming seasons show schedule and has done their best to work around the "BIG" shows.
Two NEW Shows are being trialed this year.....
1.) ALL CART Game Show! These classes will be all timed events, and cart horses are restricted to w/t for safety reasons. This show will also have a ground driving division for those who have horses not yet in shafts.
2.) Open Trail Show! This show will feature all of our normal trail classes (which are being removed from the Open shows) PLUS Handiness Classes & Working English Equitation Classes! All Double Pointed!
We will update you on the judges as they are approved. Looking for an AWESOME 2024 Show Season!

Show Committee Chair
2024 Trail Dates
Trail UpdateS
Spring trail Update, Now Open!
Update as of 05/18/24:
Riding from the grounds is now possible but some roadside is necessary. The Pink trail to the river is currently closed till the new culvert area drys out. You can access the Pink trail following Bailey Road to the Dump road. The Blue West is open. However be aware the ITS 82 section up the mountain is not for a beginner rider or intermediate horse! The lower loop section is good.
The Pink Loop trail is all marked and cleared However you CAN NOT cross the Ellis River behind Memory Lane from either side at this time.
The Orange Trail and Blue East have not been inspected either so please do not venture out on those.
Be sure to thank your club trail crew who spent all day today working on the trails.
Thank you & Happy Trails!
