Gentle Dove Farm and Canandaigua Equestrian Center proudly announce our Happiness House TRAIL TRIAL! Put your trail experience to work in this low-key competition! Proceeds will benefit Happiness House, which offers programs and services for children and adults with disabilities. A Trail Trial consists of an un-timed ride with 6-10 judged obstacles that appear along a trail of several miles. There is a judge at each obstacle that compares the way the horse and rider meet the obstacle with a standard. Riders are judged on their skills and abilities to guide their horses through the obstacle course. There are no time requirements and the participant is only judged while negotiating obstacles, with the pace of the trail ride at the choice of the rider. Come join us with your horse, get lots of pledges to help Happiness House, and enjoy trails through fields, up hills, and through woods, while negotiating fun Trail Trial obstacles! Pre-registration is required. Sign up early as the Happiness House Trail Trial will be limited to the first hundred entries! Have a great ride for a great cause! Come watch for FREE. For entry forms or directions to the newly opened Canandaigua Equestrian Center (5275 Parrish St. Extension), go to www.GentleDoveFarm.com or contact Joann at (585) 738-7477 or email jklong@rochester.rr.com or BethWestbrook1@gmail.com
