Description:
WHAT IS THE VERSATILE Equestrian COMPETITION?
As seen at the Eastern States Equine Affair, the Versatile Equestrian Competition is a timed and judged “race” through an obstacle course created to test communication between horse and rider, and competitor’s horsemanship skills.
How is it different from “Cowboy Extreme”?
The competition is suitable for riders of any discipline (and there is no restriction on the tack you use) and horses and ponies of all breeds are welcome.
As the horse and rider teams work through each obstacle they are judged on their ability to complete the obstacle within the allotted time and on overall performance.
Saturday October 26th is our traditional Halloween Ride.
