Alabama Obstacle Challenge Series

10/30/2025

Many of you may already be aware, but we wanted to make a public announcement about the passing of one of our dear founding members, Tricia Harbin. Tricia was pivotal in getting the AOCS off the ground. She and others created the AOCS from scratch and grew the series to expand across the entire state of Alabama. Tricia firmly believed in the AOCS's mission to help bring the world of obstacle sports to Alabama and make competing accessible to all levels of riders. Please join us in remembering her by sharing a story or picture. She will be missed dearly.

Hello All!

I hope 2024 has been good.for everyone so far!

It has been a rough start here so I come with somewhat good news and bad news.

The last few years I have been in and out of the doctor with breathing problems, general fatigue and just not feeling good.

Three weeks ago I could barely move around my house, and I was admitted to the hospital from the emergency room with severe covid related heart failure that started back in April of 2020 and had gone undiagnosed. Doctor said he was surprised I was still up amd moving at all.

That certainly explains the struggle I have been having with energy and maintaining what used to be my normal activity level.

So...
The Bad News:
I will not be doing a 2024 Series.

The Good News:
We will be doing our
Halloween Show on NOVEMBER 2ND
AND
We will be having playdays and clinics.
AND
We may have more that will be announced as others step up to help keep things going, and as I know my prognosis and continue to recover.
AND
I now know why I have been feeling so bad for so long and have a solid recovery plan.

Thank you all so much for your support over the years!

We will see you again soon!

One of the fun prizes we are doing going forward is awarding Champions and Reserve Champions with beautiful pieces of horse artwork. I think this will be something everyone will enjoy riding for!

A big thank you to the many people who have stepped up to volunteer their time and efforts! We are excited for tomorrow to be a well run, organized, and fun show!

You can always register the day of the show if you missed online registration, and you only need THREE SCORES FOR FINALS.

We know the start of the season was a little rough... and if you left the last shows feeling discouraged, we hope that you will come back and give us another try!

With a lot of our old people having left the series (whom we miss and wish lots of luck on their current endeavors), it has taken us a minute to find our stride again.

But we have some amazing new folks step up to help get us back in gear, and we have a great show for yall tomorrow.

Thank you all for your continued support....we wouldn't be able to do this labor of love without it!
