Ranch Trail

Ranch Trail

Ranch Trail

 Showcases the horse’s ability to navigate obstacles typically found while working on a ranch, such

as gates, logs, bridge work, side-passing, backing through obstacles and ground-tying. Performance should reflect a willing

attitude, demonstrating correctness, confidence and practicality with emphasis on smoothness, responsiveness and a calm

forward working demeanor rather than speed or extreme precision.



Ranch Riding

Ranch Trail

Ranch Trail

Ranch Riding: highlights versatility and movement of the working ranch horse by travelling freely forward with natural,

ground covering gaits to reflect capability of working long hours in the pasture. Riders are to perform transitions, extended and

collected gaits, stops and turns. Horse should appear relaxed, balanced and responsive with emphasis on quality of movement,

correctness and overall usefulness.

RANCH RAIL

Ranch Trail

RANCH RAIL

Ranch Rail: a rail-only class that evaluates horse movement and manners at the walk, jog and lope in both directions of the

arena, while demonstrating a natural forward moving ranch gait with correct form and a calm, willing attitude. Emphasis is on

consistency, correctness and suitability as a working ranch horse rather that exaggerated movement or headset.
