Ranch Versatility – Part II
One of the things I have seen in the last few years is the growth in popularity of Ranch Riding and Versatility and people buying Reining Horses that are not quite making it in the reining world and then using them for Ranch Versatility. However, most reining horses carry their heads down below their withers. When a horse gets relaxed and soft, the head drops lower and lower. While some reining trainers like it when the horse keeps its head low, the Ranch Versatility rulebook is very clear that a natural head carriage is desired. I am seeing a lot of Reining horses used for Ranch Versatility and while these horses do well, the low headset goes against what Ranch Versatility is all about and does not work well for the horse.

The summer season of trail riding is now in full swing. With most schools closed for the summer, people are looking for places to ride their horses. We have a special event that you, your family and friends might enjoy with their horses. Even if you do not have a horse, but have some experience riding, we can supply horses. Over the years, I have always enjoyed combining horse vacations with historical locations.
