Every fall/winter, we have held an obstacle challenge/jump course "buckle series". It's a lot of work and money in insurance so I just want to reach out before I plan one again. Usually, it's on a Sunday once a month for 3-4 months, weather dependent (we at least get 3 in).
The series is mainly for rider development but you can earn buckles and prizes at the end.
We allow outside riders not from our barn to join the fun but it's been a lot of my own students over the years and a great way to get Novice to advance riders improving their riding and ready for show season. So far, we've had just enough interest the last few years and I'm always worried I won't have enough riders.
We do jump courses from ground poles and up in the late morning; obstacle courses in the afternoon.
The arena is semi-heated and insulated. We are adding a chimney fan this year to disperse more heat.
Please let me know if you will attend before I decide on dates for 2026-2027. I will probably do an event Nov, Dec, Feb and Mar.
I will decide by next week if we're going this year. I need at least 10 die hard participants. If interested in volunteering or judging, please reach out. All local shows are subject to enough support.
