I know it sounds funny, but the Oregon Horse Center has been putting on trail events for several years now, and people love it!

 What we do is bring in the outside elements like trees, ditches, ponds, hills, waterfalls, logs, rocks and much more into our large arena so people can come and compete with their horses. It helps give you who stick to trail riding, or just enjoy trail riding with your horses one more thing to do. 

 It's been a big hit, and this year at our May Northwest Mountain Trail Spring Adventure we're having a "Straight Off The Trail" class for those of you who have never shown your horse at any competition, and would like to try out our great event. You will be competing against other just like you, first timer's to the Oregon Horse Center's Trail Shows, and any competition for that matter.

 There really is a lot we have to offer, you should check out the entry form on the home page of our website for more information. www.oregonhorsecenter.com, if that doesn't answer all your questions then feel free to call us as well. Our number is (541) 689-9700. 

 Hope you take a look at our great show!!

I'm down in Texas, so it doesn't apply to me, but what a fun idea.  Sounds like it would be a great option in inclement weather, which I imagine you have a fair amount of up there in Orgeon :)

 Oh that's too bad your not closer! And yeah I'll try to get some pictures up, it's really a great event. Tons of fun!
