Training & Showing the Versatility Ranch Horse
by: Sellers, Laren
The Versatility Ranch Horse (sometimes known as Working Ranch Horse or
Stock Horse) competition is the Western horse showing equivalent of the
pentathlon, demonstrating a stock horse's athletic ability in five categories:
Working Ranch Horse, Ranch Riding, Ranch Trail, Ranch Cutting, and Ranch
Conformation. Working Ranch Horse combines reining ability and "cow
sense" as the horse is judged first in a reining pattern and then
as it handles a cow. Ranch Riding shows the horse's ability to move at
the walk, trot and lope. Ranch Trail shows a horse's ability and willingness
to perform over a course of logs, gates, and other obstacles that simulate
what might be found during the course of a normal day's ranch work. Ranch
Cutting judges the horse's ability first to cut a cow from the herd, then
work the animal, and finally to pen the cow at the far end of the arena.
Ranch Conformation assesses the horse's balance, structural correctness,
and breed standard. Overall placings are a warded based on total credits
earned in the five classes. Using the expertise of well-known trainers
and exhibitors and examples from actual competitive experiences, Laren
Sellers shares advice on how to select the Versatility Ranch Horse prospect,
develop and enhance the animal's natural abilities, and then show the
horse to best advantage in the arena. Sellers provides insight to the
experts in the industry, their approach to horses and horse shows. Especially
valuable are the many references to rules and judging standards of the
American Quarter Horse Association and other organizations that offer
Versatility Ranch Horse and similar classes. Along with a good cow horse,
this book is the best first step you can have to winning big-time in the
Versatility Ranch Horse division. 144 pgs.

Why Does My Horse...?
by: McGreevy, Paul
Based on an analysis of how horses naturally behave, this practical and
helpful handbook addresses common problems that owners have with their
horses and how to overcome them. Horse owners learn to use a horse's natural
instincts as a sociable herd animal to curb such behaviors as fidgeting
during grooming, pushing their owners up against a wall, and kicking their
stable walls. Written in an accessible, easy-to-reference A-Z format,
each behavior problem is addressed both in terms of what causes the behavior
and what can be done to solve it before it becomes habitual and a danger
to the horse and its rider.
