Wendy Stephens of Louisiana competing on her Welsh Pony, The Bailef, at the finals for America’s Favorite Trail Horse in Blanco, Texas.

What an incredible journey it has been! Nearly 1,000 horse and rider teams from all over the U.S. participated in a journey that has now brought one hundred finalists down to ten! America’s Favorite Trail Horse will soon be crowned!

No matter what breed of horse, each horse and rider team showed their own special bond. “The dressage horse makes a wonderful trail horse. She’s an awesome horse. I’ve had a great time on her. I’m really glad I branched out of the arena and tried something new” states Marjorie Chema about her horse, Emmy Lee.

Many friendships and memories were made along the way that will last forever. It has been an incredible experience that will remain with all contestants forever. Top Ten Finalist Julie Moore was so excited to be a part of the Finals, “What a ride! Competing in the America’s Favorite Trail Horse event has been an incredible experience. Thanks for the memories ACTHA”. Each finalist had the opportunity to learn and be coached from some of America’s Top Equestrian Clinicians at Franklin Family Ranch in Blanco, TX and this made it a once in a lifetime opportunity.
