We are accepting applications starting January 15th, 2025!

The Challenge is a competition and adoption event for the horses of Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society. Competitors work with a Bluebonnet horse for four months (June-October) and then compete over an obstacle course, in a freestyle where they can show off the horse’s skills, and show off the horse’s basic skills (such as trailer loading, standing tied, picking up feet).  We award up to $13,000 in prize money divided between four divisions:  Professional Under Saddle (starting or restarting a horse under saddle), Non-Pro/Foster home under saddle (working with horses who have already been started under saddle), In-Hand (for pros and non-pros 13 years of age and older), and Non-Pro in Hand (for kids 12 years of age and younger).  The competition takes place on October 4^th during the Bluebonnet Horse Expo at the Williamson Co Expo Center in Taylor, Texas.  All Training Challenge horses are offered for adoption at the event.

There is a $20 registration fee for all trainers to help with some of the administrative expenses associated with the event.
