The World Ranch Horse Association (WRHA) is the premier organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of the American Ranch Horse through competitive excellence and educational advancement. We combine time-honored traditions with modern competitive platforms to showcase these exceptional equines and their vital role in American heritage.
Our mission encompasses three core pillars:
  1. Competition: Offering structured, professional events that demonstrate the versatility and capabilities of ranch horses
  2. Education: Delivering comprehensive training programs and resources to both seasoned professionals and newcomers
  3. Stewardship: Ensuring the preservation of ranch horse bloodlines and traditional horsemanship practices
Through our growing network of events and educational initiatives, WRHA creates valuable opportunities for enthusiasts, competitors, and industry professionals. We recognize the ranch horse as more than just a breed – it represents the cornerstone of Western values and continues to be a symbol of American agricultural excellence.
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of horsemanship while fostering a community that celebrates both traditional practices and innovative developments in ranch horse training and competition.
