Marble Mountain Ranch to Host ACTHA Competitive Trail Course

Special chance to bring your own horse to ride the trails at this Northern California Ranch and compete in an American Competitive Trail Horse Association event.

Competitive trail obstacles and challenges are characteristic of the mountain trail riding experience and Marble Mountain Guest Ranch in Somes Bar, California has the optimal terrain for these challenges. The ranch is excited to host special events in May with The American Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA), including a Competitive Trail Course (CTC) ride on May 23rd and an Arena Obstacle Course (OTC) ride May 24th. Riders can bring their own horses to Marble Mountain Ranch for these special events.

Marble Mountain Ranch ACHTA event

Challenging and fun trails surround this California guest ranch.

Marble Mountain Ranch is a Northern California family vacation dude ranch, offering trail riding, kayaking, fly fishing, whitewater rafting and more. The ranch is open to the public, though guests aren’t normally allowed to bring their own horses, making this a special opportunity. Participants in the ACTHA events at Marble Mountain can also bring their horses the week prior to the competition and join regular Marble Mountain Ranch events using their own horses.

The ranch is also offering $50 cash credit at the Marble Mountain Ranch gift shop for first place winner of the CTC and $50 for OAC, in addition to the usual winner recognitions, certificates and ribbons for winners through ACTHA. There will be a no-cost horse hoof care seminar.
