 Obstacles

This is just a list of some of the possible obstacles you may encounter on a Competitive Trail Challenge.

 Each obstacle is scored on a 1 to 10 basis with 10 being the best.

The horse receives a score as well as the rider so the best possible score you may receive is a 20.

The trail challenges obstacles vary in amount and type. Be prepared for anything.  

Remember you are competing in a trail challenge.

That means you need to be prepared and dressed and ready for a trail ride.

You need to have with you the tools and items that you would bring on a real ride.

 (you may be judged on your tack and what you have with you)
