What to Expect at Your
Colorado Versatility Ranch Horse
Clinic and Schooling Competition
Signing up and planning to attend any new activity for the first time can seem overwhelming, but here is a helpful way to get your um, “hoof” in the door for ranch horse versatility. It is important to know that every rider and every horse are all at different levels of development and we all have our strengths – and skills we need to work on. If you jump right in, you’ll fit right in. You will only be “new” once.

Unlike a horse show, you participate in all five of the classes: Ranch Riding (something like “cowboy dressage”), Ranch Trail, Ranch Cutting, Working Ranch (reining and boxing for Novice and Limited Divisions or reining, fence work and roping for the Amateur and Open Divisions) and a unique form-to-function Conformation class. Watch this great video narrated by Jay Henson that shows all of the classes that are included in the two day event.
What will you need?? A cowboy hat, boots, collared Western shirt, appetite (we do share some good grub,) and a smile! That’s IT – oh, and your horse, any breed. If you are the competitive sort and want to test your roping skills, bring that rope! |
We, at the CoVRHA, invite you to learn, improve, and promote the American Ranch Horse. Make this the year you launch your horsemanship skills! Attend our combined clinic schooling competitions, meet new friends, and get expert instruction in a small group setting. All of your new friends and fellow horse enthusiasts will help you with anything you ask.
