Inavale Farm Horse Trials
June 24-26, 2011
 
We are looking forward to our 14th annual horse trials. We will be running five levels of competition, including Beginner Novice through Intermediate. Thank you to everyone that has supported this event and helped us along the way. Tentatively, all dressage will run on Friday the 25th. Friday will also have cross country for Beginner Novice and Novice. Saturday will be cross country for the Gallops Saddlery Training Three-Day (long format), horse trials Training, Preliminary, and Intermediate. Sunday will be show jumping for all levels (It is possible Beginner Novice show jumping will be held on Saturday, depending on entries and volunteers). Spectators are welcome on all days of competition, and handicapped spectators will be allowed to drive their cars (with escort) to an appropriate viewing area. Concessions are available on the grounds all weekend. You may bring your dog if he stays on a leash.
 
We would like to thank our generous sponsors for their support. Gallops Saddlery is our title sponsor for the Training Three Day division. Polestar farm is providing a gift basket for the sportsmanship award at the Gallops Saddlery Training Three Day. County Saddlery has generously provided saddle pads for our award winners. Kerrits Activewear will be providing fine equestrian apparel for our award winners. Additional Awards provided by Toklat Originals, RevitaVet, and Ice Horse. Thank you to our local community for their support provided by Cudo Investment Services, Landmark Realty, John and Phil's Toyota, Town and Country Veterinary Hospital and many others. Please support all of these businesses and take a moment to thank them for their contribution.
Toklat Originals will continue their "Rider’s Hourly Prizes” program during the competition. If you would like more information or to see if you won something, visit their booth at the event.
Tom Neuman with RevitaVet infrared light therapy will be available with his light therapy equipment during the event. Anyone interested in wearing a Hit-air Vest during their cross country ride, Tom is offering this free of charge, contact him in advance or at the event to make this request.
For concessions we welcome back Russ and Rebecca with The Turquoise Rabbit in Corvallis. Their goal is to provide the best food you can find at any event here in the Pacific Northwest. Look for their incredible Breakfast Burito, Biscuits and Gravy and assorted pastries served between 7 and 10:30. Lunch starts at 11:00 with Pulled Pork or Teriyaki Sandwiches, Grilled Baby Back Ribs as well as many other fresh menu options. Surf's Up Espresso will be there to supply everyone with beverages from morning coffee and espresso to afternoon smoothies.
The cross country courses cover most of the property including 2 ponds, forested
trails and open fields with rolling hills. The forested trails have stone
dust on them for all weather riding and the fields are mechanically aerovated
to create a soft well established turf.
