Come join us on May 11th (Sat Mother’s Day Weekend Ride) at 10 (Ride Out Time) at Maynard’s Mill. It is such a beautiful farm filled with beautiful trails. Cost has gone up to $15 which you must leave in the barn before unloading. Always have proof of coggins in case it’s needed. Please be aware there are still two bridges out of commission, but many other trails to choose from.
Obstacle Play Day at Judi Vogt’s farm located at 105 Tibor Drive, Kings Mountain, NC. Drive all the way to the end of the black top road. You will go through an open iron gate and see the arena, barn and parking on your left.
This event is from 11:00 – 2:00 and is no charge but donations are appreciated for our charity for 2024.
Obstacle play days are a great time to expose your horse and maybe you, to things you’ve not experienced. You will go at your own pace and ask for help from your peers at anytime. We are all happy to help!
We have had a great turnout in the past for play days, so to ensure we have enough parking for everyone, try to carpool if possible. Also, RSVP on the event, as we will keep a list of attendees and may have to limit our numbers.
Please see details below.
