Test your skills with a Trail Challenge

Trail is a competitive class where horses and riders navigate a series of obstacles. Contestants ride the course one at a time.  Modern trail classes focus on agility and manners.

A typical trail course requires horse and rider to open and pass through a small gate while mounted; walk across a fake bridge; cross over a set of rails or logs at a walk, trot or lope; back up, often with a turn while backing; sidepass, often over a rail or log; turn on the forehand or hindquarters within a confined area; and tolerate some type of "spooky" obstacle, such as having the rider put on a vinyl raincoat. 

Additional obstacles or tests may include collecting mail from a mailbox, walking over a plastic tarp or through water, walking through balloons, or an obstacle made of pool noodles.   Challenge obstacles can vary during the series.
