Jumper Night at Merlin Farm

Jumper Night is an informal opportunity for those riders, instructors and trainers who jump their horses to get together in non-competitive environment for fun and practice over beautiful, well designed and groomed jumping courses. Merlin Farm will design, set-up, staff and break down the courses, while riders, instructors and trainers can simply haul in, purchase tickets ride, have fun and haul home.

We are committed to providing a friendly atmosphere where everyone in the Spokane area can come and school over fences. Participants are encouraged to bring tailgate picnics or take advantage of concessions available on the grounds. Tickets will be $3 each, or 4 for $10 and each round ridden requires one ticket. Fences will start out as basic crossrails at 4pm and go up to 5 ft as the night progresses. The 100'x215' arena is well lit and the evenings promise to be exciting and fun. Merlin Farm is located between Spokane and Deer Park, just 20 minutes north of the "Y". Jumper Nights are scheduled on each 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month between April 1st and July. For more information, please contact Michelle Binder, Merlin Farm Manager at 509/276-9444.
