EMECULA — Versatility Ranch Horse competition, common-


ly known as VRH, celebrates the kind of horse valued on a working ranch: willing, athlet- ic, responsive and capable of handling many different jobs. Rather than focusing on one specialized event, VRH chal- lenges horse-and-rider teams across six classes inspired by the skills required in everyday ranch work. In 2026, West Coast Ranch Horse brought Southern California its first complete series of this kind. The inau- gural WCRH Versatility Ranch Horse Series featured two AQHA-approved, two-judge shows. Jill Griggs and Murray


Nick Brown and Vintage Cowgirl LE go down the fence in the AQHA VRH Open Cow Work.


Charlotte Cooper & This Wimpys Dun It compete in the AQHA VRH Ranch Reining. The pair were also the Top Hand High Point Champions for show #2.
