VTAS Trail Challenge Series – October Competition Results

The first competition of the VTAS Trail Challenge Series 2022-23 was a hit!

A huge thank you to our clinician/judge Rhondalyn Twitchell for an incredible day of learning and instruction, as well as our VTAS Indoor Arena sponsors and all the wonderful volunteers that helped set up and tear down the course trail. We could not run these events without you!

Shout out to all the competitors who came from near and far to make our October competition a smashing success. Congratulations to everyone on your placings, as well as the personal accomplishments that were gained between horse and rider partnerships — it was truly inspiring to witness.
