Welcome to the
Alabama Obstacle Challenge Series!!
 
Growing With Our Riders

ARENA CLASSES - IN-HAND CLASSES - CLINICS - HIGH POINT PRIZES    CHAMPIONSHIP BELT BUCKLE

Obstacle sports have taken the horse world by storm.  Extreme races, trail challenges, and arena obstacle courses are popping up everywhere! 

 

In 2008 Jessica Jones, Tricia Harbin, and Anita Duncan held our first obstacle challenge at Chalakee Ranch in Guntersville, AL, with only a youth class, an adult class and 15 or so entries.  

 

Over the years we have grown into a show that has great attendance, a supportive community, and many classes to choose from!

 

Jessica Jones, Tricia Harbin, Val Ray, and Lauren Henny have grown the AOCS into a fun, positive and competitive show series.

 

Riders, horses, donkeys and mules of all kinds, ages, disciplines and abilities come to compete in one of the most popular and exciting horse sports out there!!

 

The AOCS is proud to have grown into the competition we have become, and we strive every year to be better and better!

The AOCS
Always Evolving to Meet the Needs of
Our Riding Community!  

 

The Goals of the AOCS:

Are to provide an opportunity to compete and learn about obstacle sports and horsemanship at venues that are LOCAL, AFFORDABLE, and provide a pathway to a CHAMPIONSHIP!!
