Special Performance Awards given at each ride

(1) Best Groomed Mount - Sponsored by eZall

This award will be a 32oz of eZall’s Total Body Wash. Our new green formula has even more cleaning power and has a fresh natural scent. When you bathe your horse or pet with our body wash, you’ll see amazing results fast. As you spray on our plant based body wash, dirt loosens and rinses away in minutes without scrubbing. Your animal’s coat and skin will be soft and well-cleaned, which helps prevent fungus and mites. A little of this natural and safe cleaner goes a long way - each wash takes just a few ounces.

AND a free sample of our new Shine & Detangler. The most advanced all natural detangler and coat shine formula on the market today. This professional strength gel, made from a non-petroleum proprietary blend of emollients and moisturizers, leaves your animal’s hair soft and tangle free. It has a great scent and dries smooth and soft, not attracting dust.

(2) The Get Smart Award - Sponsored by Monty Roberts and his Equus Online University!

Lunch menu: deli sandwiches, potatoe salad, coleslaw, chips, cookie and drink

Photographer: (Pending)
