🏓 Tournament Rescheduled to March 14–15, 2026 – Save the Date!

Because of the lighter registration numbers for the September 27–28 dates, we’ve made the decision to reschedule the tournament to a time we believe will be even more fun and meaningful for everyone:

March 14–15, 2026 – St. Patrick’s Day Tournament

This move gives us the chance to create something even more special. March is a wonderful time for indoor winter play, and the St. Patrick’s Day theme promises to bring a festive spirit alongside great competition. It also gives us more time to strengthen our mission, to provide purpose and healing through meaningful equine experiences; while building stronger community support.

Here’s what you can look forward to in March:

*Fun, spirited play for all levels of pickleball players

*A Silent Auction with even more outstanding packages

*Expanded sponsorships to bring better awards and player perks

*A joyful, community-centered event where every game makes a difference

We’ll be sharing more details soon, but in the meantime, please know how grateful we are for your support. Together, we’re not just playing pickleball; we’re helping create opportunities for healing and purpose through the bond between people and horses.
