THE ALL AROUND.
Ranch Horse Versatility
Versatility Ranch Horse is the fastest growing event in the American Quarter Horse Association. It’s easy to see why with six events showcasing the very best of what exemplifies the stock horse; trail, pleasure, reining, cutting, fence work and conformation. Watch as Robert Rivers leads you through in depth training, show preparation and competition, with guest appearances from his wife, Rebecca, who is a non-pro rider.
