Utah Horseshoe Pitching: CHS Reds Horseshoes

Cedar Reds Horseshoe Team

(If you are ready to register scroll to the blue "Registration" button below.)

Cedar High was one of the first High School horseshoe teams in Utah, joining the 2018 UHSHL inaugural year. By 2020, they had both a Varsity and JV team and were part of the only High School activities functioning in the USA during the pandemic! The Reds have placed as high as 2nd in the UHSHL State finals - placing several students on the All-State list and as scholarship recipients. The team home courts are world-class and are located at the Cedar Horseshoe Park, a little over a block east of the Fronteer Homestead State Park (675 N 150 E).
