Very helpful! I think I might want to get into competitive trail in the coming year or so. I only wish there were rides closer to me than 3 hours away.

Hi, I represent ACTHA, American Competitive Trail Horse Association.
We are an organization that has been around for 3 years and we are growing and need your help!
Our goal is to make trail horses, more than just trail horses. We provide a scoring system that is kept on record to place more value on your horse no matter if it‘s registered or what breed it is. We give people the opportunity to enjoy their horses on a scenic trail with natural obstacles and a judge at each obstacle. Rides are typically 6 miles long, 2-3 hours.
This also helps people bond with their horses, to learn to trust each other on the trail and enjoy friends and family on the ride too!
The problem we are currently facing is not enough places to ride. This is where you come in or perhaps your club or organization.
If you signed on you would be considered an Affiliate, as an Affiliate, there is NO cost to you what-so-ever, all we need is 6 miles of trail (or 300-400 acres) to have rides. We provide the help to have a ride, the insurance and you have fun and make money while you are at it.
You have the opportunity to make money for yourself, your club or organization. I hope you can join us in making the Horse, More than Just a Trail Horse.

Some day I’d like to do CTR. But for now I enjoy Judged trail riding. It is much lower key and a ton of fun!
