Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a newcomer to the ranch horse scene, NERHA events offer a dynamic and engaging platform to celebrate the versatility and excellence of ranch horses.

NERHA Ride & Try - Intro To Ranch Horse
Join us for a Ride & Try Intro to Ranch Horse Clinic! We’ll walk through select ARHA pattern classes with live demonstrations, then give you the chance to ride the pattern. Afterward, you’ll review your ride and get another opportunity to ride the pattern with feedback in mind. A fun, low-pressure way to get started in North East Ranch Horse Association and showing.
Clinic Fee $150 NERHA members, $200 non-members.
Limited to 12 Riders.
Lunch included for clinic participants.
Saddle up, bring your questions, and get ready for a great time in the arena.
