Wind Rider Equestrian Challenge! Check it out.

If you are anything like me and are interested in developing a well rounded versatile horse regardless of your discipline you will want to check this out. The Wind Rider Equestrian Challenge gives competitors from any discipline or breed type the chance to showcase the versatility and willingness of their horse to tackle a variety of challenges and obstacles within a given time frame. The last part of the competition involves the finalists who complete an all-new set of obstacles and also perform a musical freestyle presentation of their own making that highlights their horses’ unique talents. A panel of judges will be scoring horse and rider on the:
Wow factor: How daring was the routine?
Teamwork: Did the horse/rider team help or hinder each other?
Horsemanship: Did the riders work with or against their trusty steeds?
Equitation: How good was the riding?
Attitude of the horses: Were the horses willing, even if they were afraid?
A series of these competitions will be taking place throughout Ontario over the coming months and the winner of each division will have a chance to compete in the Finals at Can Am Horse show in Mar 2010. The competitors will be competing for money and great prizes which include 2 of my very own HorseLife treeless saddles.

The first contest will be held in Clinton Ontario on August 22-23. I will be one of the guest judges at the contest and will also be hosting a clinic on treeless saddles. So come on out and check out this exciting new Horse sport sweeping across North America
