Equisarte Shows, LLC provides a fun inclusive online community where equestrians and animal lovers alike can connect by sharing the love of our pets through photography and fun events with their horses. Recognizing the need to provide the equestrian community with additional options as a way to show and challenge themselves while at their own barn, Equisarte Shows pioneered the way for equestrians to do just that! Since 2020, our original and popular virtual challenges help motivate equestrians all across the USA and even countries overseas to work towards their own personal goals by logging and journaling their activity sessions, enjoy their horses, and celebrate accomplishments with a like minded and supportive community through our social media platforms! Participants earn one of our gorgeous Rosette Finisher Ribbons at the end of each challenge! Photography Show entrants may submit photos from a smart phone or a DSLR. We are excited to see all your wonderful animals! In addition we believe in supporting our animal friends in need throughout the country! Many of our events donate a portion of the proceeds to various 501(c)3 non profit equestrian organizations and animal rescues!

6th Annual NO Stirrup November Challenge
No Stirrups? No Problem! Join us for our 6th Annual No Stirrup November Challenge! Have fun, stay motivated, and accountable this November by riding a small portion of 10 rides without stirrups to complete the challenge and earn a gorgeous No Stirrup November Finisher Ribbon! This popular virtual challenge allows you to participate right from your own barn!
Unlike many other equestrian incentive riding programs, Equisarte Show's challenges are open to ALL breeds and riding styles! Ride English, Western, or bareback! We suggest starting out slowly and gradually building in a little more time each week however, each equestrian should decide what is the best amount of time per activity for themself and their horse! You may want to start off with a goal of 5 minutes at the walk without stirrups at the end of your ride while cooling out. We'll have some great tips for you and will post ideas in our Facebook Group! You can count up to 2 rides per horse per day, for example: an AM and PM ride. Use one or multiple horses to complete the challenge. Our challenges are on the honor system. Lying isn't showing good sportsmanship and isn't cool. If you cheat you're only cheating yourself. All riders who complete the challenge and send in their completed calendar by Dec. 4th will be entered into a drawing for additional prizes! Pre registration required. Please see registration page for all event package pricing. Sign up by October 20th to save $5.00- no code necessary! Limited spots available- our challenges sell out quickly so be sure to sign up right away!
