Gymkhana is timed obstacle racing on horseback. There are 13 events. Some favor speed, some favor skill. Gymkhana is an exciting, family oriented equestrian sport that riders of all ages and skill levels may enjoy.
The Modjeska Mavericks in association with The California Gymkhana Association sponsor monthly shows. Riders may earn a variety of awards while participating at all skill levels.

Both Modjeska Mavericks and CGA offer many programs for Year End Awards. Some are based on performance and some on participation. Some involve competing against other riders and some involve competing only against yourself and the clock.
Information, Entry Forms, and Current Club standings can be found on this site and at the California Gymkhana Association web site
Modjeska Mavericks gives a very cool year end award for Perfect Attendance. To earn this award, you MUST ride EVERY EVENT at EVERY SHOW!
Modjeska Mavericks is YOUR club. Without you, the members, the club would have no reason to exist.
It takes a lot of people to run a successfully show. From the club officers who schedule, arrange and manage to the volunteers who set up, judge, and maintain the arena. In addition, we need gate people, announcers, pole-setters, and timekeepers for each event. Every one is a volunteer!
In order to run a successful show, we ask each and every participant to work one-half of one event each show. That isn't a lot to ask. Maybe 30-45 minutes of your time.
If you are a parent with a child who competes, teach them teamwork and responsibility by example. Work a shift yourself and ensure your child works one too. Maybe work together and make it a family effort!
Gymkhana teaches more than how to ride a horse. The lessons taught and the lessons learned by example will serve to improve everyone's world.
