Savage Race
October 20, 2012Little Everglades will host the Savage Race October 20, 2012! This race offers some of the biggest and most challenging obstacles over its 6 mile course than anything in the business! Why jog when you can run through fire and swim through ice? Why run when you can crawl through "Colon Blow" the 5000' blackout pipe! To participate or volunteer go to http://savagerace.com.
International Combined Driving Event
February 23, 2012February 23 to 26 2012
Our International Combined Driving Event is a four day long equestrian event. This event tests carriage drivers and their horses in three different disciplines consisting of Dressage, Marathon, and Cones. During our February International Combined Driving Event you will see drivers and horses from single ponies to FEI four-in-hand Teams that are here from all over the United States and the World! It's beautiful to see the sparkling carriages and sleek horses in the graceful Dressage phase. Next comes the excitment of the horses and carriage driven at top speed through obstacles that are amazing in their complexity in the Marathon phase. And last is the test of the driver's skills in the precision of threading the horse and carriage through the intricate cones course where just hundredths of seconds can spell the difference between winning and losing!

Steeplechase
February 24, 2011Our steeplechase horse races take place on the beautiful mile and a quarter grass track located at the Little Everglades Ranch. What distinguishes a steeplechase from a standard horse race are the jumps that are located at various points throughout the course of the track. The Little Everglades Steeplechase has been a delight for the competitors and the spectators! We hope to be able to see the Steeplechase run again here at Little Everglades Ranch in the future.<P> <P>
