CLASSES
Stock Horse Pleasure

• The purpose of the stock horse pleasure class is to measure the ability of the horse to be a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from performing one ranch task to another. The horse should reflect the versatility, attitude, and movement of a working ranch horse riding outside the confines of an arena. 

Ranch Trail

• The ranch trail class should test the horse’s ability to cope with situations encountered while being ridden through a pattern of obstacles generally found during the course of everyday ranch work. The horse/rider team is judged on the correctness, efficiency, and pattern accuracy with which the obstacles are negotiated with consideration of the attitude and mannerisms exhibited by the horse.

Cow Work (Boxing only)

• Boxing is when a rider demonstrates their ability to control the cow on the designated end of the arena for 50 seconds. The horse should exhibit cow sense and natural ability without excessive reining or spurring.

Reining

• Ranch reining measures the ability of the ranch horse to perform basic handling maneuvers with a natural head carriage in a forward-looking manner. The ideal ranch reining horse should have a natural ranch horse appearance from head to tail in each maneuver.

Ranch Riding

• The purpose of the ranch riding class is to measure the ability of the horse to be a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from performing one ranch task to another. The horse should reflect the versatility, attitude, and movement of a working ranch horse riding outside the confines of an arena

• This class will be "At-Will", meaning that the show ring will be open during a designated time and riders are expected to complete their runs as their schedule permits.
