Team Tournament is back!

Last year's Team Tournament event was a massive hit! So, backed by popular demand we plan to do it again this year.

Mark your calendars for Sunday November 2nd from 10am - 2pm.

We'll have some spooky obstacles, some games, a ranch riding pattern, and more.

Don't forget the smokies, chili, and pumpkin bowling too!

Most of our riders/handlers really enjoy working toward some sort of goal where they can celebrate their new skills and show them off to family and friends.  We also love bringing our community together!  Therefore, all of our riders and handlers scheduled during our fall session are invited to take part in the Riding 4 Life Team Tournament. 

Each participant will have a choice of one or two events to try with their usual lesson horse.  Your instructor will help you practice for your chosen event throughout your fall lessons. This is a team based horsemanship challenge that will call on the skills you've been practicing in the weeks leading up to the tournament. If you ride Jake - you're on team Jake; If you ride Beauty - you're on team Beauty; and so on. Perhaps our Ranch boarders would like to form a team and jump in on the fun too?

When: Sunday November 2nd. 10am start Likely ending by mid afternoon.  Spectators welcome.  Light concession available.  Bring your lawn chairs!

Where: Riding 4 Life Ranch in Oliver, B.C.  (5621 Sawmill Rd.)  

Cost: We'll simply add the cost of one more of your scheduled session on to your invoice.  Your instructor will go over further details with you during your lessons.
