Letter From Western States Board
Hello WSVRHA Members,
We are off to a great start in 2024!! WSVRHA affiliates have hosted six shows already this year. Year to date points will be posted on the WSVRHA website very soon.
Are you finding it difficult to travel and afford five affiliate shows in order to qualify for our amazing finals in October? We hear you!! The WSVRHA Board has decided to help everyone by reducing the qualifying number of affiliate shows to THREE (3). This means that you must attend at least three affiliate shows, in any affiliate, prior to attending the finals, where we will have a clean slate championship show. Also, in order to qualify for year-end awards, you must attend three affiliate shows, but you do not have to attend the finals. Points earned at the finals, however, will count toward the year end. All of this should get you excited for a trip to Winnemucca. Now, let’s go show!!

President, WSVRHA
Fun In The Mountains
Inter-Mountain Ranch Versatility Show
Do you have a youth rider? The first ten youth entered in the all- around get $100 off the $395 youth entry fee!
McArthur is located 1 ½ hours East of Redding. It’s an easy drive and beautiful all the way. Will we see you there? Hope so.
Cinch Up Productions Results
Lots of “Green”
The Cinch Up Productions show is best illustrated by the last action of Tony Agredano’s before closing the awards ceremony. He asked if there was anyone who hadn’t gotten a prize over the weekend and invited them to come to the awards table and choose whatever they wanted. There was a group of “littles” who had competed in Walk/Trot, and he loaded them up to the point someone said, “it’s Tony Agredano Christmas!” A generous, caring, and wonderful thing to do for our kids! Thank you Tony.
Western States/Golden State is Expanding!
