Sort of indoor le Trec US style

[Whatanejit]

There is probably a name for this that our US friends will be able to enlighten me but this looks like great fun. A sort of furious indoor le Trec competition but a bit more fun.

YEE HAWWW

Now THAT looks like FUN!!

I wonder where that is.. it LOOKS like a trail class on crack..

That lady is still dressed for a barrel run.. on a horse who can rather oviously rein to! Nothing like a good all round horse :D

thanks for sharing

I love this clip (Might even tempt me to get broadband as I only get a few seconds at a time!) I posted it on the " Wow this looks like FUN!" Thread

it was held at The Oregon Mountain Trail Championship--I'd like to do it with Blue in her Saddlechariot:D as she's mature enough not to be stupid but it would be fun to do on Malaga when he's backed and grows up a bit mentally

Oh sorry JJ! I found it on another forum - must be going around the boards!!!

:o

That's O.K. its worth it isn't it:D

Some more photos of it with a bit of a description of the discipline - looks like brilliant fun - I would love to do that!

i believe thats what we call a "trail class".

it is a timed event that puts our horses through several obstacles that they may come across out on a trail.

it is a really fun event. the only problem i had when riding this event was, the old gelding i use to ride would NOT cross a bridge of any sort. and that is one obstacle on the course. LOL

I've seen trail classes but never at that speed!!!:D
