Heart & Hooves Ranch Riding Association (HHRRA) Shows – 2026 Season 🐴
The Heart & Hooves Ranch Riding Association (HHRRA) was created to offer a welcoming, encouraging, and inclusive Ranch Riding show experience for riders of all levels. Whether you’re entering your first Ranch Riding show or continuing to advance your skills, HHRRA focuses on horsemanship, sportsmanship, and steady rider growth.
Our shows are designed to be approachable for beginners while still offering progressive patterns and challenges for experienced riders. With multiple divisions, real-life ranch-style patterns, and a supportive atmosphere, HHRRA shows are about learning, confidence, and partnership—inside and outside the arena.
🐎 What Is Ranch Riding?
Ranch Riding showcases a forward-moving, willing horse that reflects practical ranch work. Patterns emphasize softness, correctness, and partnership through transitions, extended gaits, stops, turns, and ranch-style maneuvers. This class rewards real horsemanship and usability, making it accessible for new riders and meaningful for advanced competitors.
