2022 - 15 Years of Promoting Versatility Ranch Horse in Arizona!!

A Little History...  Versatility Ranch Horse events in Arizona were few and far between until 2008 when AZVRHA was conceived.  That year we produced three small events, in 2009 there were four and so it began... we have been expanding and growing each year since.  Working with Arizona Quarter Horse Association and Southern Arizona Quarter Horse Association we helped to bring AQHA VRH to the premier Quarter Horse Shows in Arizona, Arizona Sun Circuit and the Shamrock Quarter Horse Show.

In the fall of 2014 Arizona Versatility Ranch Horse Association in conjunction with Golden State Versatility Ranch Horse Association established Western States Versatility Ranch Horse Association to be a “parent” association for both states, with an eye on expanding to others western states as interest dictates.

In February 2018 WSVRHA along with 5 other Associations founded National Ranch and Stock Horse Alliance.  This Alliance consists of National Versatility Ranch Horse Association,  Stock Horse of Texas, Oklahoma Stock Horse Association, East Coast Stock Horse Association and American Quarter Horse Association.

2020 was a big year for WSVRHA as we expanded to include NVQH Ranch Horse Division in our family of affiliates.

Very exciting times for the Ranch and Stock Horse Industry!
