Youth Programs

Canadian Pinto Youth Challenge
Must be a Youth member of the Canadian Pinto Horse Association.  Open to all Canadian Pinto Horse Association Youth 8 to 18 Year of age.  The horse must he registered by the Canadian Pinto Horse Association.  A copy of registration papers will be required.  The Canadian Pinto horse can be owned or leased by the Youth member.  Only geldings and mares will be allowed.  Breeding stock Canadian Pintos are eligible.  A helmet MUST be worn by all Youth participating.  All horses are to have up to date show shots.  For safety sake, Youth 12 & under will need a parent present throughout the course.

This in a non-competitive format.  Parents can give verbal suggestions to complete the course.  One hour prior to starting all participants can work on the obstacles.  It is the hope that this Challenge will help give a base in producing Canadian Pintos which can be used anywhere.  THE COST WILL BE $15.00 PER YOUTH/HORSE.  The course will be on a point system.  If the Youth/Horse complete the task asked they get the points.  A total of 70 points will get the Youth/Horse a halter.=
