Online Trail Challenge 2025

Entry Deadline: September 1, 2025

We’re excited to invite you to our 2025 Online Trail Challenge – a fun and friendly way to participate in a trail competition right from your own barn or paddock!

We’ve created a DIY trail pattern that you can set up at home using simple, accessible materials. Ride the pattern with your Tennessee Walking Horse, film the entire ride in one continuous video, and submit it online to join the competition.

This is an official TWHCE competition – your participation counts towards Highpoint standings.

✅ How to Join:

1. Download the trail pattern and instructions from www.twhce.de.
2. Set up the obstacles as described and ride the full pattern in one continuous go (no video cuts).
3. 📹 Film the entire ride clearly and steadily.
4. Submit your video by September 1, 2025 via
   www.wetransfer.com
   to: info@twhce.de
