Versatility Ranch Horse
The Versatility Ranch Horse Show derives from early ranch work, where a versatile horse was a necessity. This show combines all those talents into a lot of classes, and the goal is to have a versatile horse that will score well in different types of ranch work. The classes for this include: Ranch Trail, Ranch Cutting, Working Ranch Cow Horse, Ranch Pleasure Riding, Ranch Confirmation, Reining Pattern, and One person Penning. Maybe the best part of this fun event is that everyone helps and cheers for each other. Oh sure! There is competition but it is all part of the fun. There are divisions for rank beginners all the way up to advanced riders and there is even two divisions for the kids. So it is a family sport! There will be seven shows this year all with payback and prizes. Belt buckles and prizes are given for year end awards in each division. Come to one of our clinics to get ready for the shows! You will have fun!
