What is Ranch Horse? 

       Ranch Style horses. Stock horses, no gaited horses unfortunately. Horses do not have to be registered or pure breed, just a stock horse.  No Silver or bling on any tack or on clothes. Horses move naturally. No hoof polish. No rubber banding of horse's manes, if mane is long, brads are permitted. 

Halter classes - Rope halters 

Attire - Long sleeve button up western shirt. Jeans, boots, cowboy hat. The more you dress the better. top off your attire with a scarf or neck tie. Chinks add a great look but not required. If things are close, someone with chinks can place higher.

Dummy Roping - Roping a fake calf that is in one place while on your horse - If dummy is stationary - riders are always standing in one place to rope, not moving or running at the dummy, no matter what division you are in. If the dummy is moving, the horse and rider will also be moving to match speed. Walk trot classes, the dummy will always be stationary. 

**The same horse and rider combo can only enter 1 division**

In classes like the dummy roping or showmanship, once you enter a division you are in that all day showing against the same people and it is for the season. This does not mean you will be walk, trot and cantering in dummy roping, it is just grouping you with the same skill level riders. Dummy roping is at a standstill unless the dummy is moving.  Showmanship is in hand and is walk trot in all the classes, you are just grouped with the same skill level people.
