Host An Event

Hosting an event is a great way to promote your business, organization, charity, or services. It’s also fun; we guarantee you’ll meet many great people! The appeal of UHCA races for our members is the variety of courses, terrain, and locations of the UHCA Events. Each course is an entirely new experience, and our inventive event hosts continually find new, creative ways to challenge our riders.

​

BASIC HOST REQUIREMENTS

• Space large enough to set up two separate obstacle courses, preferably outdoors

• 26 distinct man-made or natural obstacles, 13 for each course

• Parking area for 70-80 riders with trailers

• Restroom facility or portable toilet

• Water for horses

• Lots of volunteers

  • Scribes, Runners, Timers, Course Stewards, Announcers, Parking Directors, etc.

• Many hosts also have a food stand to generate additional revenue

• Some riders are traveling a considerable distance to attend races, so water and electric hookups for trailers with living quarters and stalls available for rent are appreciated but not required

• Must be a member of UHCA to host an event

 

AFFILIATED CLINICS

Are you planning a clinic focused on horsemanship, trail, negotiating obstacles, improving a rider’s relationship with their horse, or other related discipline? Promote your event here on the UHCA website and our social media networks by affiliating your clinic with the UHCA. Affiliate clinics must be approved by the UHCA and require a fee of $100 per day. You must be a member of UHCA to host an affiliated clinic. Requests for affiliation must be made at least 2 weeks before the event date.
