6B Ranch
Presents
“The Versatile Ranch Horse Series”
|
The
Rafter 6B Ranch presents their 3rd Annual competition
horse show which showcases the ranch horse.
This series
was created using the NRCHA/AQHA Versatility Ranch
Horse Competition rules as a guideline only to provide
a competition that more of our local clientele would
enjoy and that would showcase the many talents of
their ranch type horses.
Our version
of the Ranch Horse competition demonstrates the versatility
of the ranch horse in five categories: ranch conformation,
ranch riding, ranch reining, cow work and ranch trail.
So come on down and join the fun. |
THE
CLASSES:
Ranch Conformation: The
ranch conformation class will be based on balance, structural
correctness, breed and sex characteristic, and degree
of muscling, with balance being the most important.
Horses are to be shown in a good working halter (rope,
braided, nylon or plain leather).
All sexes
will be judged in one class, by division. Horses will
walk to the judge one at a time then trot straight to
a cone. At the cone, the horse will continue trotting,
turn to the right and trot toward the right wall or
fence of the arena. After trotting, horses will be lined
up head to tail for individual inspection by the judge.
The judge shall inspect each horse from both sides,
front and rear. |
 |
Ranch
Riding: (Patterned Riding) This
class shows the horse s ability to move at a working
speed with a rider. Horses will be shown individually
(at various gaits, such as the walk, trot, or lope-depending
upon the Division), while completing a posted riding
pattern in the arena.
A horse
will be given credit for traveling with his head held
in a normal position, ears alert and moving at a natural
speed for the gait requested. Horses will be asked to
extend the lope or the trot in at least one direction.
Credit also
will be given for making a smooth transition between
the gaits, for keeping the correct lead and for maintaining
the gait until the pattern asks for a change. A rider
must show his horse with only one hand on the reins,
unless the horse is five years old or younger and is
being shown in a snaffle bit or bosal. |

|
Ranch
Reining: This class shows the ability of
the ranch horse to rein. Each contestant will perform
individually.
Each Division
will have its own pattern and work as explained below.
Patterns will be posted for your review at the show.
Maneuvers are: |
 |
Open:
Run the designated pattern as written. Then call for the cow,
box it, make at least 2 turns (one each way) on the fence,
take down your breakaway rope or circle cow left and right
circle (your option).
Limited: Run the pattern as designated;
simple changes will not be penalized but flying changes may
be credited.
Super-limited: Walk/jog the pattern
as written.
Ranch
Trail: This class contains a course with
a minimum of six obstacles and is designed to show a
horses ability and willingness to perform several tasks
that might be asked of him during the course of a normal
days ranch work.
Whenever
possible, realistic or natural obstacles will be used
and we may set up the course outside the arena in a
natural setting.
The horse
will be judged on three gaits, walk, trot and lope performed
between the six obstacles to be determined when the
judge chooses the patter. A horse will be rewarded with
higher credit for performing these gaits on the correct
lead and with an alert attitude.
Mandatory
obstacles will include dragging a log and opening and
closing a gate. Some optional obstacles might include
crossing a water hazard, crossing a bridge, unbridling
and bridling, picking up all four feet and roping a
stationary steer. Super-limited will walk/jog only. |

|
Cow
work:
Open: Cut a numbered cow as called
from the herd, hold it from the herd ranch cutting, then
take it down the fence between the fence and a cone and
put it in the pen. Total time allowed 2 minutes. |
 |
Limited:
Box a cow at the end of the arena, take it down the fence
between the fence and a cone and put it in the pen. Total
time allowed 2 minutes.
Super limited: Drive the cow from
the end of the arena into the pen. Total time allowed 2 minutes.
