CANCELLED due to wet conditions
We regretfully have to cancel our Ultimate Two-Phase @ Iron Slipper Farm due to the heavy amount of rain we have had this season. We have still have not been able to get onto our hay fields to mow and don't expect to for at least a couple more weeks. Our fields are still heavily saturated making the jumping conditions unsafe. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to try again next year. We will be returning all entries that we have received.
