Judged Trail Competition – Sept. 18
On Sunday I took Boomerang to a Judged Trail Competition at the Bucks County Horse Park. I’ve never been to one of these before but it sounded like fun. You ride a 4 mile long trail through the park and at certain check points you have to complete an obstacle. You are judged on your performance (and sometimes timed). Boomer was great, completing every one of the obstacles to the best of his ability. We encountered several obstacles that Boomer had never seen before, like a teeter-totter, dragging a boogie board through water, walking across a carpet in the grass, opening trash cans, playing mini golf, and a few others. I was able to film some of the obstacles – but I wish I had remembered to film all of them, I got caught up in all the fun we were having!
Here’s a short compilation of some of the stuff we encountered throughout the day:
We’re still waiting to hear the results, so hopefully we did well enough to place. But either way it was a fun experience and I hope we can make it out to another one soon.
Here’s a video of my mom and my sister’s mare, Jet, doing some of the obstacles:

Ha! So cool! You had the big blue roan horse? That was such a fun event – I’d never done one of those before, I’ll definitely be looking to do some more in the future. It was great experience for my young pony. 🙂 Maybe we’ll see you again sometime at another event!
What a gorgeous day to spend doing something so fun. 🙂 I want to do something like this someday with Chrome. Boomer and Jet both did such fabulous jobs.
