What is ‘Meet the Fences’?

Where: On the cross country field in the South East corner of Birds Hill Park

What: Meet the Fences usually takes place Saturday before a MHT Schooling Event hosted by Manitoba Horse Trials. It is designed for coaches to take students out on the cross-country course to work on skill sets to prepare for the Sunday show.

If you do not have a coach to take you out on course please contact info@manitobahorsetrials.com. We will try to connect you with a coach who has signed up to be out there on the day.

How:

  1. Riders, ask your coaches if they will take you out on course for Meet the Fences.

2. Coaches:

  • a) must have current Registered or Licensed EC Coach status
