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.
