๐ Thinking about showing but not sure where to start? ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
With a few Versatility Ranch Horse (VRH) shows still coming up before the end of the year, now is the perfect time to get started!
One of the things I love about VRH is that there are divisions for just about everyone. Whether you're a first-time exhibitor, a newer rider, or someone returning to the show pen after years away, there are opportunities to compete at your level, including Rookie Amateur, Limited Amateur, Rookie Youth, and more.
If you've been wanting to show but don't know where to begin, I'd love to help you prepare.
We'll focus on the core VRH events:
๐ด Ranch Riding
๐ด Ranch Trail
๐ด Ranch Reining
๐ด Boxing (*๐๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด)
๐ด Intro to Cow Flag to prepare for Cutting
My goal isn't just to get you through a pattern, it's to help you understand the events, build confidence, and enjoy the process with your horse.
You don't need a finished cow horse. You don't need years of experience. You just need the willingness to learn and challenge yourself.
I've always believed that growth happens when we step a little outside our comfort zone, and these upcoming VRH shows are a great opportunity to do exactly that.
