The Equus IPPE Games of Working Equitation Speed Trial and Obstacle Course (blindfolded) are part of the NAPT event and it is important to support the Ponies and Trainers participating in these games and try them yourself. The judges will be looking at how you react to the community. Are you shy and withdrawn? Do you engage others in conversation? Are you having FUN?
