RANCH WORK\u2014$1,750 added<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ranch\u00a0Work event\u00a0tests the\u00a0horse\u2019s\u00a0ability to cope with situations encountered while being ridden through a pattern of obstacles and maneuvers generally found during the course of everyday ranch work. The horse\/ rider team is judged on the correctness, efficiency and pattern accuracy with which the obstacles are negotiated and the attitude and mannerisms exhibited by the horse. Judging emphasis is on identifying the well-broke, responsive and well-mannered\u00a0horse\u00a0which\u00a0can\u00a0correctly\u00a0navigate\u00a0and\u00a0negotiate\u00a0the\u00a0pattern.<\/p>\n

RANCH ROPING\u2014$1,750 added<\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of this event is to show the horse\u2019s ability to assist the rider in roping a cow out of a herd, as would be done on a ranch for branding or doctoring. The horse and rider should move quietly through the herd, to locate the desired cow and position the\u00a0rider\u00a0to\u00a0make\u00a0the\u00a0catch quietly\u00a0with\u00a0as\u00a0little\u00a0disturbance\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0herd\u00a0as\u00a0possible.<\/p>\n

RANCH COW WORK\u2014$1,750 added<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ideal ranch horse should also be a cow horse and this event demonstrates and measures the\u00a0horse\u2019s\u00a0ability to do cow work. There are five parts to this work: boxing the cow; setting up the cow and driving it down the fence to the opposite end of the arena; boxing it at the opposite end\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0arena\u00a0and\u00a0then\u00a0driving\u00a0the\u00a0cow\u00a0past\u00a0the\u00a0middle\u00a0marker\u00a0again,\u00a0then\u00a0circling or\u00a0roping.\u00a0There\u00a0is\u00a0no\u00a0expectation\u00a0that\u00a0the\u00a0exhibitor\u00a0will\u00a0make\u00a0a\u201cfence\u00a0turn\u201d,\u00a0rather\u00a0the boxing, driving, boxing, driving, roping or\u00a0circling.<\/p>\n

RANCH CUTTING\u2014$1,750 added\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
