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

Sign up early and get $5 off your entry fee.

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!!

This event is on September 15!

In-hand - $20 entry
Youth- 15 and under - $30 entry
Adult - 16 and older - $30 entry
Open - 50% payback - $50 entry

Sign up early and get $5 off your entry fee. Horse/rider combos can only enter once.

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.

Our little Shorty is growing into such a pretty girl 😍

Hey all! The weather is not looking great so we are going to reschedule the breakaway roping practice to a different weekend. No one needs to be riding or traveling in a storm. Sorry for the inconvenience! 😅

Dont worry- Shorty will hold the cattle by herself while you fix fence 😂 she’s just the handiest little horse ever.

Was a good day to move some cattle 🤠

06/02/2024

Look what arrived this morning 😍

Thinking of the next couple months- what would everyone be most interested in?
1. Arena sorting practice
2. Working cow horse, cutting, boxing, tracking practice
3. Introduction to cattle: for those looking to break into the sport OR those who want to expose their young/ inexperienced horses
4. Breakaway roping

Let me know in the comments. 🤠

Consider donating and supporting local cowgirls! 🤠 Venmo is -Lutz-15

A local student at Milford has made it into the Nationals for high school rodeo, she’s been invited to attend the national’s in Iowa! Addilee Lutz has put a donation container in our store with a little written piece about her rodeo winnings.

Addilee is very passionate about attending rodeos and practicing with her horse Scooby. As other sports teams have fundraisers and booster clubs the rodeo circuit is small and Addi works hard to help contribute to cover the costs but this travel is further than any event she’s attended and they have to stop along the way for the horse to stretch his legs and get a break from the trailer ride.

Please consider making a donation to help her get to Iowa for the National’s! A container is in the store or Venmo is accepted too -Lutz-15

Thank you 🤍

The New York equine industry now contributes a whopping $7 BILLION to the state's economy, supporting over 52,000 jobs! The New York State Equine Economic Impact Study (a ‘breakout study’ from the American Horse Council National study) highlights the significant impact of equine involvement, from feed & vet care to trail riding & events.

Even as the nation sees a slight decline in equine population, New York ranks 16th nationally, with a diverse range of breeds & activities across the state.
