RANCH HORSE
enjoyed shopping with standout vendors including Kathy’s Show Equipment, The Cow Lot (cow- boy hats from Colorado), Kitie K Ranch & Co., Chaps by Woods, and more along with a diverse lineup of food vendors that kept everyone well-fed and happy all weekend long.
West Coast Ranch Horse now looks ahead to an expanded 2026 show season, packed with opportunities to learn, compete, grow, and celebrate the ranch horse. The year kicks off Jan. 17-18
at California Ranch Company with the Ranch Horse Challenge Weekend, featuring a unique schooling show clinic format where riders work under two highly respected clinicians Beth Clemons and Jando Guerra and receive live and writen feedback plus skill develop- ment time before stepping into Sunday’s ranchy Challenge
Show. Exhibitors can look for- ward to ranch riding and trail paterns, incorporating swing- ing ropes, dragging elements, and catle exposure as well as an opportunity to compete in ranch pleasure, an individually worked rail class with signs to signal transitions and maneuvers. WCRH also announced its Ranch Horse Celebration on March 21 22, a double-judged WCRH show and four-judge AQHA event. This show is PCQHA-approved, so it will count toward PCQHA year-end awards and will offer Buckle Bonanza awards for L1 Youth and Amateur riders. This will be followed by the popular four-show Ranch Horse Classic Spring Buckle Series, the three- show Summer Buckle Series, and, for the first time, an AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse two- show series that will highlight VRH ranch riding, ranch trail, cow work, boxing, cuting, and ranch conformation..
It doesn’t end there , Debbie Cooper and Laurel Walker Denton are also already booked to bring unmatched educational opportunities to So Cal ranch riders. All roads lead to Temecula
this October for the 7th Annual Ranch Horse Rendezvous, returning Oct. 8 11. The full 2026 schedule are
available on the official West Coast Ranch Horse schedule. Riders of all levels can compete in all breed and/or AQHA com- petition as well as try catle classes in a welcoming envi- ronment. For the first time in recent years, riders can qualify for the AQHA World Shows in all three ranch events without leav- ing Southern California.
