We are accepting pre-entries to our Elk Creek Quarter Horses Extreme Obstacle Race!

If you can’t attend- this is 100% refundable or you can pay the day of the event. We would love to get paperwork out of the way before the morning of the event!

We will have 4 classes:
In-hand - $20 entry
Youth- 15 and under - $30 entry
Adult - 16 and older - $30 entry
Open - 50% payback - $50 entry

Courses are posted below for in-hand and riding course. PLEASE NOTE- the Youth class will NOT be loading in the trailer.

This race will be completed in two rounds separated into arena work and obstacle work outside of the arena. Times for each round will be added together for a final total used to determine winners.

Who can participate?:
While this event is focused on ranch style obstacles every discipline is welcome to participate! There is no tack requirement- come in your western or english tack or even ba****ck if you want the challenge!

Our only requirement is everyone wear proper boots- no sneakers or driving shoes as you may have to get off your horse and we don’t want any one getting stepped on.

Please note- NYS law requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a riding helmet.

Please have updated rabies and coggins for each horse.

What do you win?:
We have 3 beautiful custom buckles up for grabs for each riding class. Because of the late addition, we don’t have a buckle for the in-hand class however we will have another prize!

What if I am not comfortable going fast? That’s OKAY! We don’t expect everyone to go full throttle. Enter anyways and challenge yourself and your horse and have FUN!

We will have a practice TOMORROW, Saturday, 7th at 5pm for $25. If you cannot attend, the course will be open for schooling the day of the event.

Although, we are allowing schooling- these courses are still a challenge at a quick pace. So come challenge yourself, your horse, and have some fun!!

Adult - 16 and older - $30 entry
Open - 50% payback - $50 entry

This race will be completed in two rounds separated into arena work and obstacle work outside of the arena. Times for each round will be added together for a final total used to determine winners.

What obstacles will be asked of you?:

Arena Work: Arena work will be a great opportunity to show off your speed. Examples of obstacles would be: attempt to rope a dummy steer (rope provided or you can use your own), gymkhana style obstacles, and more. This is held in a sand arena.

Obstacle Course Work: Obstacle course work will be your opportunity to show off your horse’s willingness. Examples of obstacles would be: gates, log drags, step ups and down, water crossing, and more. This will be held on our obstacle course which is multi terrain footing (grass, dirt, some rocks). Think real trail conditions!

Top 5 OPEN riders will be asked to complete their class on live cattle. This is for the OPEN class ONLY.
