Hi Heather - I show in the Stock Horse of Texas. Our 4-H group also hosts one of the largest SHOT shows every year here in Sulphur Springs, TX. It is our fund raiser for the Horse 4-H program and we are well on our way to hosting our 4th show in July of 2012.

I placed 2nd in the Non Pro Working Cow Horse class on my Stallion Peptos Rapper Minime and now I am hooked. It is so fun and the people are great.

Hi Jana - I was looking on the AQHA website - There is a VRH show in BIllings, MT in October. I am not sure how far that is from you. There are 2 AQHA introductory shows in ID in November. You could go there and see if any of the cutters, cowhorses or reiners also do VRH. My trainer is a cutter - he ropes too. But, that is where my horses and I needed the most work. Also check out the NVRHA and the American Stock Horse Association for their schedules. Come to Colorado! Our last show of the season is Oct. 2,3 4. in Ft. Collins. Let me know what you find!

Thanks for writing! I wrote you back and it never showed up - we'll see if this works. Speaking of Paints, I would love to find some of the "Delta" sons to breed to, last I heard they were at Wichita Ranch but does not ever email back. Does Iowa have some good shows? Good luck to you this summer!
