CURIOUS ABOUT OUR VIRTUAL HORSE SHOWS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!

We get lots of questions from folks who are interested in giving our virtual shows a try but aren't quite sure how it all works. So let's tackle a few of the most common ones!

🤔 "What obstacles will I need? Do I need a fancy arena or special equipment?"

Great question! You might be surprised at what you can do with things you already have around the barn! We've put together helpful information about obstacles, equipment, videoing your performance and more on our FAQ page.

👉 https://www.trinitytrailevents.com/faqs

🎥 "I'd love to try it, but I'd really like to see how someone else does it first!"

Absolutely! Sometimes seeing it in action makes all the difference. We've got videos from previous competitors so you can see how they set up their courses, navigate the obstacles and record their performances.

🏆 "How do the buckle tournaments work? Do I have to compete in every show?"

Nope! For our fall buckle series, you only need to compete in 2 of the 3 monthly shows to qualify for a championship buckle!

Wondering about divisions, qualifications, tournament rules or how winners are determined? We've got a whole page dedicated to that!

👉 https://www.trinitytrailevents.com/tournaments

🐴 "What if my horse and I are just beginners?"

That's exactly why we have a Novice division! Our virtual shows are a great opportunity to learn something new, build confidence and improve your skills without the pressure of a live show. And for our more experienced competitors, the Open division gives you plenty to work on, too!

🍂 "Why should I give virtual showing a try?"

Because sometimes we all need a little motivation to get off the couch and spend some quality time with our horses! 😂

Our virtual shows give you a goal to work toward, something new to practice and a fun way to keep improving through the fall and winter.

And don't forget — you can add judge's comments to your entry for valuable feedback on what you're doing well and what you can work on next!

⏰ 8 DAYS TO PRACTICE, PERFECT & PERFORM!

So grab your horse, maybe recruit a few barn buddies and come have some fun with us!
