The Trail Trials is an event to show how well a horse and rider can negotiate various
obstacles out in the open. The obstacles are similar to ones that may be encountered in a
ranch setting or out on a trial ride and may include cow work. Whenever possible, realistic
or natural obstacles are used.

Judges will read directions for each individual obstacle when it is the riders turn
to go. The judges are not allowed to give advice or demonstrate how the
obstacle is to be maneuvered. The judges can only repeat the directions as per
the rider’s request
11.
Each obstacle is judged on a point system of 0 to 10, with 10 being the
highest. If the horse refuses the obstacle three times, the judge will waive the
rider on and give a zero score for that obstacle. All scoring is at the discretion
of the judge and will not be over ruled. A horse will score higher for
performing willingly and with an alert and responsive attitude.

disqualified from the entire event. No money will be refunded.
14.
Unnecessary roughness, including the over use of spurs will count as a major
fault. At the discretion of the obstacle judge a rider may be disqualified from
that particular obstacle.
Practicing trail obstacles on the ground prior to the event will be cause for
disqualification. This includes both horse and rider.
