Open Fun Show
Our first show was November 4th, 2008 and though we had a small turnout, I believe over all the show was a success, encouraging and giving riders the confidence they’ll need to continue competing. That was our goal!
2008 Show Dates: CANCELLED Until Farther Notice
- $5 a class or $30 per rider for the day
- All HEALTHY equines welcome (Yes, Mules and Donkeys too!)
- All equines will need a copy of a negative coggins within the last 3 years and proof of a rabies vaccine.
- SEI or ASTM Certified Helmets are required for all riders, while mounted. All helmets will be checked for SEI or ASTM Certification seal upon arrival.
- Besides helmets, and riding boots (with a heel), show clothes are not required. These items may also be any color you choose!
Note: We have a 120" X 60' arena, with rope fencing. Though it's 100% safe, it is not traditional, so we wanted to let riders know before they enter.
