Welcome to the Boulder County Horse Page

The RMHT are coming to Longmont at the end of this month!(update 7.3.08)

Make sure to mark your calendars for the Rocky Mountain Horse Trials on July 26 and 27! This will surely be the most exciting event Boulder County has seen in years!

We still need help! We have set up 2 more volunteer project days to help us prep the XC course for the event. We need folks on Saturdays July 12 and 19 from 1-4 PM at Silo Farm. Even if you could just donate a couple of hours on one of the days, you efforts will make a huge difference! Let me know if/when you can come!

We also REALLY need jump judges for July 27--XC day! See all the excitement up close!
If you can help in any way, please contact me!

Thank you!
