When world-renowned horseman and trainer Charles Wilhelm thought about what a “Super Horse” really was, in the back of his mind he considered developing a competition that would be both exciting and educational for riders looking to challenge and showcase their horse’s ability as well as their own equitation and riding skills in a soft, responsive manner.

The Ultimate Super Horse Challenge sprang forth from Wilhelm’s dedication to teaching his students, and he has since presented several very successful Super Horse events. The courses are beautiful, the judges are impressive, the contestants are always outstanding and the prizes are abundant, leaving the crowds and contestants clamoring for more!

In response to the overwhelming demand, the Ultimate Super Horse Challenge will again be presented at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento, California, June 4-7, 2015. The theme of the event this year will be “A Salute to the Troops.”

The Super Horse competition is not a timed event, but rather showcases the horse in a variety of tasks and exercises. A Super Horse can appear in a parade one day, work cows the next, compete in Cowboy dressage or Ranch Pleasure the following day and then confidently hit the trail.

The Super Horse can obediently do all it is asked with relaxation, cadence, balance and collection in all gaits.  Contestants are also judged on their equitation and the relationship they have with their horse.

This competition will test 10 participants who will be competing head-to-head through six events; advancing to the Finale on Sunday, where the Champion will be awarded with a custom Charles Wilhelm saddle, buckle and other great prizes.

Reserve Champion will take home $500 cash. The top five finalists are also awarded with a ribbon and valuable prizes from sponsors such as HorseTech, Horse & Rider magazine, Mane-ly Long Hair and more.

Charles believes in bringing nothing but the best to the Western States Horse Expo, so all Ultimate Super Horse Challenge contestants are pre-qualified via personal or video demonstrations.
