Trying to answer any and all questions. Gaming tomorrow leadline starts at 10:15ish stalls/ camping available. Please consider joining us ALL weekend because the trail challenge is a laid back FUN time. There’s no dress code and even though there’s money added it’s not highly competitive. We all like to encourage each other and just have some fun with our horses and each other. You are ENCOURAGED to do the in hand. Please message Dee Watkins or Kayla Tedesco with any questions.
Rainbow Riders doing food booth and spectators welcome. Please share!!!

Friends please share!! Money added this is the favorite show of the year!

Ok this is Dee. We are NOT cancelling we will be there there are sprinklers and Harry will have the building open Lauryn has sprinklers. And there’s water available at the frost free’s so come don’t come we will be there because it’s too late to cancel when everything is in motion. For the haters out there stay home. When we were younger we showed no matter what. They show in Texas all the time, and it’s a lot hotter there.

06/20/2024

Ok HERE IS SOME CLARIFICATION!

For insurance purposes we ask that if you are showing in more than one show become a member. That’s saves your office fee.

IF you are showing only at performance this Sunday It is ride all day per rider. If you are not a member you can pay the $10 office fee to cover us and yourselves for insurance purposes. For example If you ride 1 horse and drive another it is only $25 bring as many horses as you want. I’d REALLY like to see a lot of horses in the halter classes and try showmanship. There will be breaks in between classes and time for tack changes etc.

Dress code is casual we don’t need anyone having a heat stroke. We do have ribbons for the younger exhibitors and we do have Grand Champion Ribbons and Reaerve Grand ribbons. Kristin Gutosky is an incredible judge and helper. She is bringing her driving cones and supplying the patterns.

Rainbow Riders doing the food booth and my dear friend Rocky is supplying the sound so you’ll all be able to hear me clearly.

Gaming entry forms are attached as well as membership forms. We are non profit and we are volunteers. Please keep this in mind when you are making comments. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MANURE.

Stalls are available so is camping.
Inquire at the registration booth.
Hope to see you all this weekend!

OK everyone! We are having 2 shows this year June 22 will be gaming and June 23 will be performance with the fabulous Kristin Gutosky as our judge. July 6 is gaming and July 7 is our trail challenge with the extraordinary John Steeves as our trail judge this year. We all have been very very busy with our careers and without help or participation it’s been rough. I hope by scaling down we can get more participation. Rainbow Riders will be doing the food booth as usual and spectators are welcome. Stay tuned for the performance show bill we will have halter driving western English and ranch riding.
You will not have to be a member to show just pay the office charge and that covers it. Paybacks with classes having 5 or more entries. No ribbons this year, with the expense of the ribbons & uncertainty of the future of TAHA. We will see who comes out and participates…..
The trail challenge pattern will be available DAY OF the show. The performance show bill will be available shortly. Hope to see a lot of you soon.

This is more about fun and safety than competition. If your horse doesn’t like an obstacle move on and don’t do it. We are a judgement free zone. You will never hear me on the microphone doing anything but encouraging and cheering on riders and asking for observer participation. DONT be scared to try us out. This is a fun course and not very demanding. Friends please share!! Observers welcome! Food booth with Rainbow riders. Nichols saddlery will be there!
