The Volunteer Ranch Horse Association (VolRHA) brought its second show of the 2018 season to the Show Place Arena in Memphis, TN on March 16-18, 2018: the VolRHA March Madness! Tammy Bledsoe, VolRHA secretary, said they expected 450 horses to show through the weekend. “The facilities have a lot to offer here,” she said. “We are very pleased with the turnout.” She explained that this show was the first time that four organizations were represented in classes – all in one show: ARHA, NRCHA, AQHA Ranch Versatility, and AQHA Ranch Riding. The show had classes going in both the outdoor covered arena and the large indoor arena. The group will be back at the Show Place Arena for their Spring Fling show on April 13-15, 2018.
Friday’s classes were roping, with tie down, heading, and heeling, and repeating on Saturday morning.
Saturday in the indoor arena riders showed in a variety of working cowhorse classes; in the outdoor arena were trail, ranch riding, and ranchmanship. Sunday’s classes completed the show with VRH ranch cow work and conformation, NRCHA hackamore and bridle classes.
Complete information about the show classes and winners from the various divisions are posted at the VolRHA website: http://www.volrha.com/.
