IVRHA - Intermountain Versatility Ranch Horse Association

IVRHA - Intermountain Versatility Ranch Horse Association The IVRHA is an affiliate of the National Versatility Ranch Horse Association. Our goal is to have fun and educational versatility events in the northwest!

Welcome to the Intermountain Versatility Ranch Horse Association! We are an affiliate of the National Versatility Ranch Horse Association, and like the NVRHA, our primary objective is to provide an educational, fun and safe opportunity for amateur riders to improve their horsemanship while focusing on the skills a typical horse on the ranch would be expected to perform. This is a starting place fo

r anyone interested - at any level, with any horse - and still provides an opportunity for those wishing to take competition to the next level. Mission Statement
​NVRHA's mission is to raise awareness of, and appreciation for, the versatility of the ranch horse and to foster the preservation and enhancement of western culture and heritage. To provide a program and place for showcasing the ranch horse and will maintain a strong link among breed associations, the ranching community, the professional horseman and versatility ranch horse riders. To provide classes to cover skills that the ranch horse would need in the ordinary course of working on a ranch. To provide competitions for participants to showcase the skills learned in clinics and to heighten the awareness of ranch horses in a fun and learning atmosphere are held in conjunction with the educational clinics. Vision Statement
NVRHA's vision is to be available for years to come to continue bringing horsemen and women together from all walks of life to experience the ranch horse culture and heritage in an atmosphere of education, relaxation and overall fun in learning that is National Versatility Ranch Horse Association.

Congratulations to Kelly Wilkerson, our 2017 IVRHA Novice Champion with her horse Sierra De Cobre. Our events are open to any breed of horse or mule & all levels of riders. Kelly & Sierra are a testimony to the fact that you do not need a professional level cutting horse, or a specific breed of horse to form a winning partnership.
