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!
2010 Show dates: (Mark your Calendars)
Non Payback Circuit entry fees $65 Adults and $30 Youth:
April 17th , June 5th, August 14th, and October 9th.
Payback circuit entry fees $115 Adults and $55 Youth:
May 8th, July 10th, September 4th, and October 9th.
On the idea of making some of the shows less expensive and cutting out the payback most agreed that having two circuits one with payback and one without, would make it easier to attend the shows of your choice. You may elect to participate in the payback or non payback classes for the October 9th show. If you are in both circuits you would have two entry fees. The points from this show would count towards your year end buckle in the circuit you are competing in. Both circuits would have 4 shows available to count towards the buckle. You may enter any of the shows even if you are not competing for year end awards. You must show in at least half of the shows in your circuit to qualify for year end awards.
