Southeast Arena and Trail (SEAT) Series
Competitive Trail Rides
Lutheranch is proud to serve as host site for SEAT Series rides.
SEATS rides are friendly, low key, competitions that provide an opportunity for horse and rider to challenge themselves, have fun and build their partnership. Riders can choose to participate in a six-mile trail ride with six judged obstacles along the way, an arena challenge with eight judged obstacles in an enclosed arena or an in-hand competition with eight judged obstacles completed from the ground with the horse led in-hand. The “Rider Combo” option gives horse and rider the opportunity to participate in all three events at a reduced rate. There are multiple divisions with varying levels of challenge to meet the needs of every horse and rider. Those who do not wish to compete but want to enjoy the experience can choose the “Ride Along” option and simply enjoy the trails with friends.
Dates:
March 4- Trail & Arena Entry
May 6-7 , 6th – Trail and Arena Entry, 7th Trail Entry Only
November 4-5, 4th – Trail and Arena Entry , 5th Trail Entry Only
