Open Class
Ready to "dip your boot" in Versatility events? Check out our "a la carte" style Open class. This may appeal to someone looking to try out 1 or 2 events in Versatility if they aren't ready to do a full weekend and all 5 events. It's also a training opportunity for young horses to be seasoned and bring them to a Ranch Cutting class or perform a reining pattern in the Working Ranch class and receive a score sheet/feedback from the judge. These classes will typically be jackpot events.
What to Expect at Your First Northern Lights Versatility Ranch
Horse Clinic and Schooling Competition
Signing up and planning to attend any new activity for the first
time can seem overwhelming, but here is a helpful way to get your ...“hoof” in
the door for ranch horse versatility. It is important to know that every rider
and every horse all are at different levels of development and we all have our
strengths - and skills we need to work on. If you jump right in, you’ll fit
right in. You will only be “new”once.
You spend the weekend on your horse in a learning environment.
You participate in an all-day clinic on the first day followed by a low-key
schooling competition on the second day. On both days you are coached by
certified clinicians on all skills a horse on a ranch would be expected to perform.
On day two,you compete only with horse/rider teams of your level of ability. At the end of the second
day, you receive an itemized score sheet that shows the skills that can use
improvement and you’ll go home with some great ideas on what to work on.
