COME FOR THE WEEKEND AND GET TWO RIDES IN. Saturday June 12: Elk Valley Equine CTC & Sunday June 13: Missouri World Record Attempt CTC. Double the prizes, double the points, double the fun, all in one location! Both rides will be challenging, but in totally different ways. (You`ll have to come to see what we mean by that little hint!) The beautiful and rugged Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area bosts 2200 acres with 65 miles of trails. There are hills, dales, fields, streams, flat grassy areas and steep rocky climbs. Boots or shoes are highly recommended for horses.

For those of you who haven`t heard, ACTHA received the OK from the Guinness Book of World Records tm to try for the "largest trail ride in history" on June 13. This ride will be part of it. ACTHA is attempting to sponsor at least one ride in each state on the same day, starting at the same time all across the country. ALL proceeds from these rides will go to horse charities. ACTHA is hoping to raise a quarter million dollars in one day!

Elk Valley Equine is a 60 acre facility located between Big Sugar Creek and Huckleberry Ridge Conservation area in the beautiful hills of the Ozarks. We have 500 yards of water frontage on one side and access to over 3500 acres of state and private land. With 12 main trails and many minor trails for over 65 miles of riding pleasure
