The Texas State Trials Council is pleased to announce the 31st
Annual Texas State Trials Championship. The 2007 series has only
one event each month; the events are spread out from January to
May, hoping that this will encourage better attendance for the
2007 Series! We’ve also added a couple of new classes (without
adding any new lines…) to give more riders the opportunity to
find the class that has the right level of difficulty for them.
Adding the Advanced class gives our younger up and coming riders
a class that bridges the gap between Intermediate and Expert; it
also aligns our series with the USMTA class guidelines.
