Arizona Working Ranch Horse Association

Last month was the real test for horse, rider and judges as Chino Valley gave us its all. Snow, wind, rain and a little sunshine. We want to thank Wells Arena for letting us use their arena for our competition. We started at 10 a.m. with the look in the sky as if it might rain and by the time the open class was over, it was raining.

It cleared for short time before the real test snow - we were all looking for cover or a way to get some relief as the competitors were all good sports - and even laughing about the snow.

Our next competition will be June 24th at 10 a.m. at Mormon Lake.

Winners for Chino were: Open: Tom Hayman, Amateur: Katie Hill, Youth: Katie Hill, Kristen Steinegger, Novice: Danny Medd, Kate Hill, Susan Medd, Green Horse: Kelly Murphy, 9 & Under: Shelby Henry.
