Members of Saddle Pals Riding Club in Soddy-Daisy will take part in an Extreme Cowboy Challenge on Saturday.
The competition will challenge riders to maneuver their horses through 15 obstacles, such as a solid curtain, a stationary bridge and even a teeter-totter bridge that will move at some point during the crossing.
Judging the event will be Larry Simpson, who placed fourth in an Extreme Cowboy Association world championship, according to Saddle Pals president Adam Presley.
Presley said Saturday’s competition will use challenges common to the EXCA but it is not a sanctioned event.
This is the third challenge for Saddle Pals, Presley said, but this one is expected to draw from a larger pool of riders than the 30 families involved with the local club, which formed in 1960.
