Equestrian Promotions Inc., in a combined effort with Bob Jeffreys and Suzanne Sheppard, are proud to announce: The Wind Rider Equestrian Challenge Ride like the wind to ride with the stars!!

Entry fees reduced from $225 to only $175!

Registration deadline extended to Feb. 17!

The Wind Rider Equestrian Challenge™ will be returning to the Pennsylvania Horse World Expo. It is presented by Bob Jeffreys and Suzanne Sheppard.

The Challenge is open to riders 12 years or older from all disciplines including western, dressage, hunter/jumpers, trail riders, natural horsemen, gaited horse riders and more. In the initial rounds up to 36 horse/rider teams will compete on a preliminary course that includes challenges drawn from gymkhana, dressage, reining patterns, jousting, gaited horse events, trail obstacles, cavalletti patterns, hunter pace courses, etc. In the final challenge round the four top scoring participants will compete for prizes by riding a new challenge course and then performing a solo 3-5 minute freestyle!

The cross disciplinary course will consist of a pattern including some (but not limited to) of the following elements: circles cantered on the correct lead with speed control (gaited horses should be able to canter), simple or flying lead changes, a 2 foot jump, trotting or gaiting while balancing an object in one hand, backing through and around barrels, sidepassing, ground poles, balanced halts, turn on the haunches or turnarounds, leg yielding, open/close a gate, dragging objects and a ring joust.

Honorable guest Judges will award points based on:

• accuracy
• the horse’s willingness
• good horsemanship
• equitation

If you and your horse can perform these maneuvers and you want to show off your teamwork in front of an audience, then you are great candidates for participation!

Bob & Suzanne will reveal the final challenge course when the finalists are announced Saturday evening. In the finals, judges will select the Wind Rider Grand Champion, the Wind Rider Reserve Champion and Wind Rider Runner Up based on criteria provided by Bob Jeffreys and Suzanne Sheppard.
