The 17th annual Middle Tennessee Pony Club (MTPC) Mini Trials was held at Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday April 9, 2022. These Mini Trials, which began in 2005 as “Learn to Event,” are a good way to participate in a three-phase event in preparation for the spring eventing season and for MTPC’s fall Horse Trials. We had over 80 entries in Pre-Starter through Novice divisions. It was a cold but beautiful day for a horse show, and things ran very smoothly all day.
