ECHO stands for Equine Cones Hazards Obstacles and is for horse people of all disciplines to enjoy their Equines and HAVE FUN! ECHO was started to offer a safe, fun place to work with your horse and to be around other knowledgeable horse people. Fun and safety are our top priorities; if you, your horse, and your equipment are safe – then it’s time to have fun!!
ECHO offers something for everyone! Entrants can participate with any safe equipment regardless of style; riding, driving, or even long-lining! ECHO is excellent for cross-training in many disciplines and you can choose how you want to use the course to better your skills.
Participants will navigate a course in the correct order and avoid knocking balls off of cones or tipping over barrels as these are faults and will count against them.
The three different classes all have specific goals and distinctions:
- Optimum requires a consistent pace through the course, entrants are given the optimum time for the course and must do their best to match it!
- Progressive mixes speed and stamina, entrants are given a set time and must pass through as many numbered cones or lettered gates in order as they can, continuing from the end of the course back to the start until their time has run out!
- Hot Lap is the class for those who love speed, entrants pass through the course one time and the fastest time wins!
