New Adult Riders Team Challenge
The Adult Riders Team Challenge is a back for 2026.
Teams may be made up of three or four riders who can be at different levels and in different locations in Ontario. Team members earn individual scores at every sanctioned Ontario horse trial they attend. Point scores will be calculated and added to a leaderboard maintained Adult Riders Committee.
Year end awards for teams include ribbons to 6th place, and prizes for the top three teams.
The season wraps up with a Team Challenge Finale at Grandview Horse Trials in October.
