The American Quarter Horse Association is proud to announce the international expansion of the Ranching Heritage Challenge. AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenges highlight the versatility, soundness and willing attitude of American Quarter Horses born and raised on a ranch. Ranching Heritage Challenges are open to any horse bred by an AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder. Anyone who owns an eligible horse can compete in one of the multiple age and skill level divisions offered for both horse and rider. During this international expansion, classes will include team roping, barrel racing and breakaway roping. These will also be offered as AQHA-approved classes open to anyone who owns a registered American Quarter Horse.

This inaugural International Ranching Heritage Challenge is Sunday, October 15, during Expogan Chihuahua at Unión Ganadera Regional de Chihuahua.
