Thank you to all who participated. For those that still owe the $10 entry, please find me so I can collect & give you your ribbon/prize.
Along with important topics at the show briefing at 4:00pm under the grandstands will be a mention about our Area X ARP TEAM CHALLENGE.
It’s easy to play & sign-up.
Here’s how it works:
1. Your show rides count as your score. (No additional tests or rounds.)
2. You must be a current 2026 ARP Member. Usually, this Challenge is just for Area X, but since we have several folks from out of area [& it’s more fun when we can all play], I’m opening it up to all current ARP Members.
3. Four people max per team. I will drop the highest penalty score, but you must finish with at least 3 numbered scores for possible ribbons/prizes. (If you have more than one horse, you will need to be on different teams.)
4. One professional max per team.
5. Scramble divisions & levels. (Mix & match or all the same)
5. Ribbons & prizes awarded from 1st through 5th place.
6. $10 per person. Cash, check, Venmo or Zelle. All proceeds go to Area X ARP.
Any questions, txt Deirdre Orcelletto at 602-568-4660.

Just throwing this out there…
What would you think if if we:
A) Kept the Team Challenge as-is this weekend for Coconino Summer I HT
‘B) Postponed the Area X Team Challenge for another show (ie Coconino Summer II HT) or,…
‘C) Offered an additional Team Challenge later in the year (ie Las Cruces HT or SAZEA HT)

It’s the annual photo of the messy table pre-ARP Team Challenge! I know you all were waiting for me to post about it. lol
This year, I wanted to add something a little different for our members. (Don’t worry, ribbons & prizes from 1st through 5th place are still being awarded. They’re somewhere in that chaos.)
I have quite a few random odds & ends that don’t really make the “prize” cut, but someone might enjoy/need.
How should I give these things away? Items vary from shirts to tchotchkes, tumblers to grain scoopers.
Current Area X Adult Rider Program members only. Must be present for Coconino Summer I HT.
Answers here will get first dibs. One pick per person. Ok, go!
It’s June! Know what that means?
The 2026 Adult Rider Team Challenge is right around the corner at Coconino Horse Trials Summer I HT.
Don’t miss out on the fun - and ribbons - and prizes.
If you don’t know the drill:
1. Teams of 4 can be scrambled by levels and divisions. The highest penalty score will be dropped.
2. One professional max per team. 
3. Current Adult Rider Program members can participate.
4. $10 per Rider.
Got ideas for prizes? Let Deirdre Orcelletto know.
