Once again our members “teamed” up with their BRFs (Best Riding Friends), spouse, family member, or even a new Top Trail friend for the Double Trouble Challenge 2021.

This team challenge grew from 34 teams in 2020 to 48 teams in 2021.

Congratulations to the top 5 teams! Each team member will receive a Top Trail logo beanie — perfect timing with winter in full swing now in many parts of the U.S. You all really rode!!

Thanks to all members who submitted photos — it’s so fun to put faces and equines with names and we’re going to try to publish as many as we can in the coming weeks
