What: Unlike endurance riding, which goes for speed and distance, or competitive trail rides which compete for stamina, a Trail Trials Event consists of several different ‘natural’ obstacles for the horse and rider to negotiate in a safe and relaxed manner out on the
trail. Judges, sometimes ‘hidden,’ score the horse and the rider as they complete the pre-set course. Scoring is based on the ability to complete the 'obstacle', and for calmness. Safety is emphasized at all points.

tree to back around, or any number of other natural and/or semi-natural
obstacles, all out on a trail environment
