🌾🐴 Blazing Star Stables • Monmouth, ME 🐴🌾
We are excited to open the gates for a soft opening of our Fifty Shades of Hay Obstacle Course! This is your chance to be among the very first to experience the course, test obstacles, and help us shape the final layout for the full 2025 season.
🎟 Soft Opening Details
🔹 2-hour time slots
🔹 Limited to 8 horse/handler combinations per session
🔹 These sessions WILL count toward your required Half-Day “How to Use the Course” Orientation for those planning to purchase a membership
🔹 Cost: $20 per participant
🌱 What to Expect
Because this is an early preview, participation will depend on footing:
✔ If footing is good:
You will be able to work through the full obstacle course with guided support.
✔ If footing is unsafe or questionable:
We will switch to a Walk-the-Obstacles Session — learning how, why, and when obstacles should be used safely.
(This still counts as your orientation.)
Either way, you’ll walk away with the knowledge needed to confidently use the course once memberships open.
🐴 Requirements
To attend, riders/handlers must:
✔ Pre-register (no drop-ins)
✔ Bring a horse with current negative Coggins
✔ Sign our liability waiver
✔ Follow all posted safety rules
✔ Agree that spectators remain in designated areas only
Professional trainers attending must also bring proof of liability/training insurance.
🙌 Thank You for Your Patience
This course has been a labor of love built by just the two of us — myself and my husband — and we are still adding new obstacles each week. Your excitement and support have been incredible. We can’t wait to share this first look with you!
📅 Registration Opens Soon!
Drop a comment below, with a preferred date and time, if you want to be added to the early-access list, and we’ll message you when sign-ups go live.
