The Area 1 Board of Directors is always looking at adding new classes.  This year we wanted to add a Ranch Versatility Challenge.  When we shared this news with our friends from JS Quarter Horses they jumped right in for Sponsorship.  Something this fun...they were all in!  And it came together as the Inaugural Ranch Versatility Challenge. Which we decided to offer as an "Open Breed" challenge.  Well...what an unforgettable debut for the Ranch Versatility Challenge at Area 1!

 

We had Competitors tackle Ranch Trail, show off their style in Ranch Rail, and then had just 2 minutes to untack (with help from their teams!) and clean up for the final Conformation class. The atmosphere was electric, and the stands were packed for this exciting new addition to the show.
