The Lake Trekk Equestrian X Games will be high energy competition that levels the playing field between backwoods horsemen and tested long distance riders. This event will feature the Pony Express Equestrian X Games. Find all the details at www.equinexgames.com

Compete for CASH PRIZES as you trek through the beautiful, rugged trails of Shaver Lake in a game of stamina and determination. This game of skill and smarts is open to riders of all levels. Horses need to be conditioned for long-distance runs and well-heeled on trails that include streams, logs, rough terrain, and heavy brush.

The ultimate goal of the Trekk is to finish a 15 mile course with the shortest time. Gather “flags” along the way to reduce your time. Each rider will be issued a card. As riders pass the “flags”, they will punch the card with that flag’s punch key. Each flag reduces your time by a time specified on the game map.

All horses must pass a veterinarian check prior to, and after the ride. Any horse not passing the vet check in the morning will not be able to compete. Horses that do not pass a vet check after the ride are disqualified from placing in the competition. Therefore, rider skill in how to manage their horse’s stamina is critical for this event.

The event will take place at the Old Gun Club on Edison property, 2 miles east of Shaver Lake on Dinkey Creek Road. While camping is not available directly on site due to Edison liability policy, ample camping areas can be found all along Dinkey Creek Road.
