AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge

The working ranch is celebrated by showcasing working ranch horses in the AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge. The NILE hosts the only RHC in Montana.

The AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge highlights the versatility, soundness and willing attitude of American Quarter Horses that are ranch-born-and-raised. The Challenge is open to horses bred by an AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder which has been fully enrolled in the program. Anyone may own and show an eligible horse in the challenge, which offers multiple divisions for various ages and skill levels for both horse and rider. Classes include working ranch horse, ranch riding, and barrel racing.

Added money for each challenge. Classes offered will include Working Ranch Horse, Limited Working Ranch Horse, and Ranch Riding.

The Ranching Heritage Challenge at the NILE is sponsored by AQHA, Galt Ranch, and Weaver Quarter Horses.

Join us for a contestant's breakfast before the show (Tuesday, October 18th) sponsored by Friez Insurance Agency.
