A Texas Trail Challenge is an obstacle course laid out on a trail located on public or private land. The horse and Rider are tested for their trail skills in a natural setting over the course of several miles and in camp. Obstacles are natural to their region and are ones typically encountered while on a trail ride. A judge at each obstacle evaluates the way both Rider and horse negotiates each obstacle. The Riders are judged by keeping common sense and safety in mind. A Texas Trail Challenge is not a race. Any breed of horse or any style of riding makes this an excellent family activity.
