Play Days

These fun filled days are a great way to get out and have a good time with horses and friends.

Amazing Horse Country Obstacle CourseWe have over 50 obstacles on our course to challenge you and your horse.  Our course is outdoors, using both our arena and a natural environment with hills, trees and trails.  Regardless of discipline, breed or background, obstacles are a great test of our horsemanship skills and a way to strengthen our connection with our horses.

There is no formal outline for the play days.  Simply show up when you want and stay for as long as you want.  Typically we organize a mini-Cowboy Challenge event in the afternoons so that anyone that is interested can try a sequence of obstacles in the same manner as a real competition.  It's a great way for those of you who compete to sharpen your skills during the season.

If you're new to obstacles, feel free to come but we'd suggest taking one of our many clinics first.  Generally each obstacle can be used in several different ways with varying complexity.  In our clinics we have a strong focus on horsemanship, introduce you to each obstacle, show you what it's designed for and how to ride it.  Our clinics feature one-on-one instruction with one or two instructors always available.

I have no plans to compete in a Cowboy Challenge or other Trail Class event.  What value is this to me?

Skills such as reading your horse, developing a soft feel and showing your horse how to relax, balance and use his body effectively apply to all disciplines, all events, and all riding scenarios.  This is about improving and developing your horsemanship.  Not only is the obstacle course a great way to put what you have learned to the test (and have fun!), it's a perfect way to expose minute areas that you and your horse need to develop.  We work on those areas and then revisit the obstacle.


What about the facility?

The Amazing Horse Country Ranch is located 38km west of Innisfail, Alberta on Highway 54.

We'll send maps and driving directions out in your registration packages.  A variety of amenities are available in the towns near both locations.
