Contact usWe at ACTHA, (The American Competitive Trail Horse Association) want you, our members, to feel supported and safe while riding. Although the ACTHA CTCs (Competitive Trail Challenges) are conducted as judged events we don’t want you to feel judged. Our goal is to provide you with a fun competitive environment where you will feel safer trail riding, and to support the bond between you, your horse, and other horse enthusiasts. Our goal is for you to come ride the trail with ACTHA and feel confident that you are riding with a TRUSTED FRIEND, YOUR HORSE. We also want you to share your adventure with old and new friends and their horses. My blog (Carries’ Bit) will include stories, thoughts, lessons, guidance, and advice compiled from many years of riding, competing, rescuing and living with horses. I’m looking forward to making this journey with you.
Happy Trails, Carrie

Wow…had no idea my wife of 43 years could write so well! And now I know where to go to find out how her week was! Seems with our mutual addiction of making ACTHA better and better we never really have time to talk.
You guys are sooooo lucky. To have Carrie share her thoughts and heart with you, not to mention some of the funniest stories you’ll ever hear will be a very entertaining ride….it has been for me!
No one, let me repeat no one on this Gods green earth has dedicated their life more to horses and has spent more hours in their presence than Carrie.
Enjoy….
Tom
Ps our thanks to Anne…all of us who know Carrie know of her phobia to computers…as she says ” if I can’t reason with it or fondle it I want nothing to do with it!” Anne does sooo much for us and ACTHA, as do the most dedicated staff any GM could ever ask for.

Dear Carrie and Tom,
I am so happy you all invented ACTHA and have the drive and interest in keeping it going. I have trained and shown for many years and my biggest pet peeve has been that some horses have never had any enjoyment from their job - it has always been about the humans and their ribbons. Thank you so much for all you both do.
