Happ`s is a developing recreational facility aimed at wholesome, family-type activities and equine events, especially Competitive Trail Ride Competitions!! Happ`s has an awesome permanent trail course with many natural and man made obstacles including water and bridge crossings, waterfalls, and hill climbs. Covering several hundred acres, Happ`s provides miles of trail challenge trail opportunities that will excite the novice and also challenge the experts.

They are located in southwestern Washington State about half way between Seattle, WA and Portland, OR. US Hwy 12 cuts through the ranch, giving great access to both Seattle and Portland.

The Piggyback is exactly that! We are day two of two Trail Challenges being held that weekend at the facility. Sign up to ride on Saturday in Happ`s very own trail challenge and then stay the night and compete Sunday in the ACTHA ride! Two different events on the same grounds all on the same weekend!!
