Rules for Ranch Horse Pleasure Classes (#44 and #45)
Per AQHA Rule Book: The purpose of Ranch Horse Pleasure horse should reflect the versatility, attitude and movement of
the working horse. The horse’s performance should simulate a horse riding outside the confines of an arena and that of a
working ranch horse. This class should show the horse’s ability to work at a forward, working speed while under control by
the rider. Light contact is rewarded and the horse shall not be shown on a full drape of reins. The overall manners and
responsiveness of the horse while performing the maneuver requirements and the horse’s quality of movement are the
primary considerations.
AQHA Rules include •
Each horse will work individually, performing both required and optional maneuvers, and scored on the basis of 0100, with 70 denoting an average performance.
•
The required maneuvers will include the walk, trot, and lope both directions; and the extended trot and extended
lope at least one direction; as well as stops, and back.
•
Three optional maneuvers may include a side pass, turns of 360 degrees or more, change of lead (simple or flying),
walk, trot, or lope over a pole(s); or some reasonable combination of maneuvers that would be reasonable for a
ranch horse to perform.
•
Gaits should emphasize forward movement, free-flowing, and ground covering.
Exceptions to AQHA Rules for this show •
You will be allowed to show the same horse in Ranch Horse Pleasure that you show in Western Pleasure.
•
You will not be penalized for polish on horse’s hooves, braided or banded manes, or tail extensions.
