It starts with in-hand training with obstacles in the arena followed by a potluck dinner and wine (bring your favorite). The next morning begins with danish and coffee followed by in-hand training on the obstacle course and ending with you riding your horse through the obstacles.

This event is LOTS of fun and is unique to Bolender Horse Park since we offer a friendly, family oriented community environment.
