Its fun, its popular, and continues to gain interest. It's the Ranch Horse Competition series.  You can't argue with success and the Ranch Horse Competitions keep drawing it in in spades. With a series of seven shows held across the western half of Montana, the season even saw a new venue at the King Arena in Great Falls, Montana, host its first show. The dedicated show committee worked hard to bring the best quality shows to the forefront.

Riders asked, and the RMBA listened. New for 2010, an Advanced Ranch Horse class featuring roping was created bringing the number of advanced level horse classes to two. More patterns were added and a handbook with patterns and regulations was created for judges to utilize. An approved list of judges was added to the show resources. In an effort to create a more equal opportunity for more riders to ride for the High Point and Reserve High Point awards for each class, the show committee approved a point scale of the best five of the seven available shows. Rider eligibility for awards was based on those riders maintaining a current year membership within the association. The year ended with High Point award winners receiving a monogrammed jacket and a breast collar and Reserve High Point award winners receiving a monogrammed jacket. Monogramming was done by Michele McGuigan, of Log Cabin Embroidery, and breast collars were tooled courtesy of T J Ostler, of Muley Bluz.

We are going to add a Youth class in 2011.  Please come and join us in the fun.
