Our Vine Simulator/Cowboy Curtain Was Used A Great Deal During the Extreme Cowboy Association’s 2010 World Show Hosted by Craig Cameron
“A 1100 pound horse hitting it at speed is a grueling test for any obstacle. The good news is that it is safe and no horse was hurt when the collisions took place.” – Bill Hull, Extreme Cowboy Association

“I believe that desensitizing horses is a critical and often overlooked part of their training. Introducing “scary” objects to horses in a systematic way teaches them to control their prey animal instincts and to trust their human partner, resulting in a safer horse which is always an important consideration when engaged in any riding activity.” — Nancy Golden
At the Golden Cross Ranch we are all about finding ways to have fun with your horse while improving your horsemanship. Our Portable Trail Obstacle designs will help you strengthen the bond between you and your horse because using them encourages you to focus on each other, both on the ground and in the saddle. The plans for these products we are offering have been developed and tested by our family. My horses and I personally use these products as part of our time together. I am very excited to share with you ways to bring you and your horse closer together and to bring the fun back into riding!
We are very excited about our unique approach to creating trail obstacles that are not only durable and weather resistant, but also light weight so that they can be taken anywhere you want to ride. Our Portable Trail Obstacles are practical, pretty, and portable – lightweight enough to carry anywhere, easy to set up and sturdy enough to do the job and look good doing it! Furniture grade PVC pipe is easily configured to form each obstacle by using pvc pipe connectors. Our plans have everything you need including a materials list, a detailed instruction sheet, and an exploded view of the obstacle for added ease in assembling the obstacle. We are proud to offer a portable vine simulator (also called a cowboy curtain), a portable mailbox, a portable tent, and a portable gate – just click on the Portable Trail Obstacles Page for details.
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”
This scripture represents what we try to do in all of our endeavors, business and otherwise—to focus on excellence. Whether it is creating plans for our customers or developing new trail obstacles, you can be sure that we are giving you our best effort to create a product that is a good value and helps you to have fun with your horse.
I hope you’ll buy our trail obstacle plans, but more importantly, I hope you will see the foundation that our company stands on—how a loving God sent His only Son to die for us so that our sins can be washed away and we can have a place in Heaven with Him at the end of our earthly journey.
If you don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus, it is our prayer that you come to know Him. Advent occurs around Christmas each year and is a special time when we are preparing our hearts for the birth of our Saviour while also anticipating His return. A pdf copy of my book, Taking Back Advent, is included for free with every order. The short devotionals and daily activities you’ll find there are meant to help you grow on your spiritual journey and to draw closer to Jesus—the One who loves you beyond measure! While it is often read at Christmas time, it can be enjoyed any time of year. May you experience the joy of Advent all year round!
