  • 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.

 

Some particulars:

  • Any type of saddle or bridle can be used, no dress code for riders
  • You may control your horse with one or two hands no matter the bit you use
  • Horses must be 36 months or older to compete
