The cross-country courses for both the Horse Trials and CDE competitions consist of permanent and portable fences, and hazards, developed by certified nationally recognized designers. The Grass Ridge courses offer cross-country challenges for competitors and provide exciting viewing for spectators.

GREF is continually upgrading and improving the Horse Trials Cross-country and CDE Marathon courses.

In 2008, GREF added a new Horse Trials dressage arena and a Pre-Competition Course (“Chicken Little Cross-country”, 6 obstacles, 2’ maximum height). In 2009, GREF has expanded four hazards in the CDE Marathon course.
