Good Question!!
* Do you love trail riding in new and beautiful places? Many of which might not be accessible to you otherwise...
* Do you enjoy spending time with others who love horses and trail riding?
* Are you ready for an event that in essence is not TIMED? If you want to stop and admire the country you can....
* Are you ready for an event that the whole family can compete in riding side by side, all the while cheering each other on?
* Would you like a one day format loaded with fun obstacles and 6-10 miles of trail?
* Would you appreciate not getting up at the break of dawn to enjoy the ride? ACTHA rides usually start out on trail between 9am & 11am, starting with breakfast & a briefing. You can actually "select" your starting time!
* Are you ready for a drop in the intensity of competition and wanting to focus on the fun and companionship with your horse?
* Do you believe we owe our equine friends for their years of service? Literally building this great country...teaching us much about service and friendship...Allowing us to sail through the woods, mountains, deserts, and beaches on their backs, giving us exhilaration we could not even otherwise imagine!
If yes... then ACTHA is for you! Up to 50% of all ACTHA proceeds go to Horse Rescues and Charities. TOGETHER we can lead the way to solving our current dilemma of horse starvation and neglect while taking steps to insure this epidemic never happens again.
