Ultimate Horsemans Challenge
Our winners from 2014, 2015, 2016, & 2017 are all coming back to Blairsville, GA for our 5th and final year of putting on this event! These 4 trainers will compete to start a halter broke AQHA bred filly/colt over 2 days of competition!
This year Lost Creek Cattle Co. Quarter Horses is supplying the horses for the event. It could not be a more equal match as these four AQHA horses are all coming 3-year-olds and were sired by the same stud at the Lost Creek Ranch in TN. At the end of the event, the lucky winner of the Lost Creek Raffle will choose one of these four horses from the event to take home with them! Raffle tickets are $10/ea. (limited quantity).
