Saturday July 17, Rain date Sunday the 18th, Versatility Trail Race Series, From the ERR grounds. FMI see www.ellisriverriders.com or call Deb 207-392-2381 

This is a competition. Riders will ride a trail course consisting of obstacles and tasks. Judging will be a combination of points scored at each obstacle/task and fastest time. This competition is similar to but not affiliated with the Extreme Cowboy Race [Craig Cameron on RFD-TV] The course will be inside the arena and also outside the arena but within the grounds area and not actually out on the trails.

There will be an entry fee [proposed $25.00] of which a portion will be awarded in prize money and a portion to year end awards and to benefit the hosting organization. [Ellis River Riders & other location’s hosts]

There will be different divisions for riders, [proposed, Open, Novice & Youth.]
 

It is suggested that all competitors have their horses well prepared for this type of competition as there will be very different obstacles than encountered in a typical “horse show trail class”. Plus this is a race and time does count.

Pre-registration is requested. Rain date Sunday the 18th.
