At the challenge, all trainers will be given an allotted time to complete a pattern which will includes elements such as catching, saddling, picking up feet, moving at different gaits, trailer loading, moving through a gate, and a few surprises to showcase the trust the horse has in its trainer as well as the versatility of the horse. In addition, each trainer will be given a 3 minute portion to complete a freestyle element meant to WOW the judges and the attendees. Cash prizes for the Colt Challenge are $1500, $1000, and $500 and $500, $300, $150 for the Wow Factor. All horses are sold in a sale after the challenge which includes the challenge horses plus a few others that have been trained by previous Challenge Champions and from our herd.
