KINNEAR, WY Sunday Fun Day @ D&D Livestock
Aug 11 @ 7:00 am – 12:00 pm

All-righty!! Sunday Funday is next week! August 11th!!!

What’s that, you ask?

Well… You bring your horse, and you grab something that can be a task or obstacle. 7-8am show up at D&D Livestock (outdoor arena), drop your obstacle/task item, and we will walk through at 8:05am. Folks explain their obstacle in the walkthrough. Then give space to each other, take your horse through on the ground to work any obstacle. Then, dewater or take care of any creature comforts, then we’ll have a horse & rider come through. We’ll make intervals so it’s a no pressure, have fun, try something new or old, and cheer each other on. Bring your coffee, bring a snack or your lunch—up to you to feed & refresh yourself.

Please NO dogs! Leave them at home.

All I need to know is what you’re bringing so there’s only 1 of that feature. Please don’t haul something that’s cumbersome. Not that this is what needs to be brought, here’s ideas to get your creative juices going…
