Hobby Horse Showcase

Join us for our Hobby Horse Showcases at SOUL Harbour Ranch in our Foglia Family Foundation Training Center!

 

Are you new to HH or an accomplished HH rider? Check it out at our fun and non-competitive events! Both new and experienced Hobby Horsers are welcome!

Our current Showcases won't be awarding "place" ribbons. Everyone will get a chance to jump and participate in the various classes but it won't be a "competition." We hope to introduce MORE potential hobby horse enthusiasts to this fun equestrian-themed sport and give those that are experienced a chance to showcase their skills. We will offer more competitive events in the future as more HH's participate! Kids AND Adults are welcome to participate.

WHAT IS A HOBBY HORSE SHOWCASE?

A Hobby Horse Showcase features “riders” who will complete a course of jumps with their hobby horse (a toy horse made of a straight stick with a small horse's head attached to one end OR riders can use their pool noodle horse).

The Hobby Horse Showcase will be divided into the following events (all participants are invited to 4 events: the fun jump, showjumping, barrel racing and the high jump) *start times are approximate*

​
