Ranch & Western Dressage Shows

Ranch riding and Western dressage shows are two exciting disciplines that showcase the versatility and skill of both horse and rider. In ranch riding, competitors demonstrate their ability to perform smooth, controlled patterns that mimic everyday ranch work, such as quick turns, extended gaits, and transitions—all while maintaining a relaxed, natural look. Western dressage, on the other hand, combines the precision of classical dressage with the laid-back style of Western riding, emphasizing balance, flexibility, and communication. Both events focus on creating harmony between horse and rider, testing their teamwork and ability to perform intricate maneuvers. Whether you’re competing or simply interested in these growing disciplines, ranch riding and Western dressage shows offer a unique opportunity to showcase equestrian skills in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
