Ranch Horse Competition

Ranch Horse Competition is an equestrian event that showcases the skills necessary for working ranch horses. Competitors demonstrate their horse's versatility through a series of challenges, including reining, working a cow, trail obstacles, and presentation. Each event tests the horse's abilities in handling livestock, maneuvering through obstacles, and performing precise movements. The goal is to highlight the horse's effectiveness and agility in real ranching situations, while also emphasizing the partnership between rider and horse. Judges score the performances based on criteria such as technical execution, style, and overall impression.
