Gymkhanas

A gymkhana is translated literally as "competitive games on horseback." A gymkhana is a great way to compete against riders of the same skill level, whether your are a beginner or an advanced rider. We can teach you the barrel and pole patterns, the horsemanship skills, and even provide you a horse as your teammate!

Our lesson program is based on teaching you great foundation horsemanship skills. Learning to ride in patterns is a great way to put those skills - and your horse - to work! Gymkhanas provide a fun, exciting and low-pressure way to use your skill set outside of our arena. After all, you practiced all week and you are ready for the game, right?!

We hold our own competitive gymkhanas called Rockin' Redbird Gymkhanas and also participate in Scottsdale Saddle Club gymkhanas. Our riders over the years have won many ribbons, awards, and recognitions as club members. Please visit their website to see typical patterns, show dates, fees, and club membership information.

Call today to schedule an appointment, inquire about gymkhana rates, or stop by and see us! We are always here to help you with your horsemanship goals, big or small!
