Despite impending bad weather, the obstacle challenge went on, rain or shine. The rain held off Friday long enough to get most of the obstacles set up. Saturday started with a monsoon rain and high winds about 7AM, but then the weather cleared and the world-famous set up crew put the finishing touches on TWO outstanding courses. Due to the high number of entries, we had a course for in-hand and a different course for riders.
After a quick walk through, the competition began. There were many good riders and horses, and it was nice to hear everyone cheering on their fellow riders. At the mid-point, some really cool raffle prizes were given away. Special thanks to those who bought T-shirts and tickets for the Cowgirl Swank bling cap. Proceeds from these items will be donated to the Leukemia Society.
As always, LARA members made a good showing, both on the course and off. Without you all, we could never have been able to put on this event. Thank you for your support and participation. To see pictures of the event, click here!
