Our show will have the popular RANCH HORSE classes in ranch riding, rail, reining, cutting and conformation in the open, amateur, novice, and youth divisions. There will also be CATTLE classes in working, reined cow, boxing, drive-box-drive, and herd work classes in these same divisions. Cattle practice will be held the afternoon of April 1, 2022. There will be complete trail and reining divisions as well!
