Upcoming Events

The Oregon Trail Appaloosa Horse Club (OTAHC) is putting on an "open" Extreme Trail practice and critique judging event which we are calling our first annual "Perfectly Happy Appy Trail Trials" (PHATT).
Bring warm clothes, lunch, refreshments and your PHATT trail horses (or trail horses in training) then plan on having fun putting your horses through a challenging trail course.

Some of the obstacles are water hazards (tarps if it’s too cold for water), a Canopy tunnel, Car wash, logs and cloverleaf. There are a lot more interesting obstacles for you and your horse at this event.
This trail course is open to all breeds, yearling and up.
