Our Calendar of Events and Activities is provided
as a way to span the open spaces of the West and bring us together in a wide
variety of equine activities. We hope we have something for everyone,
including Trail Rides, Clinics, Meetings, Expos, Parades, and Campouts.
While many of the activities focus on Paso Finos, we also list items for other
Gaited and Non-Gaited Breeds, and Mules.
We strive to maintain a very comprehensive "one-stop-shopping" list of
activities and welcome submissions for listings on the calendar, please contact
