ANNOUNCING: The Three Trails Classic Series Draft Horse Show is pivoting to a Ranch Class only show due to a lack of hitch entries. This will not be a Classic Series Show. Western & English riding classes will still be offered but no Classic points will be awarded.
Watch for a revised list of expanded Ranch classes to be posted soon. The entry deadline has been moved to July 31 with no additional fees assessed.
Those already registered may add additional classes once they are posted on Facebook. All teams will be stalled indoors, with a reduced fee of $50 per stall. Watch for more information to come. Thank you!

Get your entries in for the Three Trails Classic Series Draft Horse Show on Aug. 28-30!

Only 14 more days to register at the lower rate. Get your registrations in by Wednesday, July 15. After that extra fees will be added.

For Ranch Classes, only one driver per team. If both spouses want to drive the same team, please decide which classes each are going to drive, as the spouses cannot compete with the same team in one class.

Looking forward to a great show in 2026!
