VCHA Home Page

Vintage Cutting Horse Association (VCHA) offers opportunities for cutting horse enthusiasts to compete, improve their cutting skills, and have fun by promoting, presenting, and sponsoring cutting horse contests, teaching clinics, and other events involving the use of the cutting horse. VCHA provices a supportive environment for a broad range of cutting abilities and interests. VCHA was incorporated in 1979 with original directors Maureen Detoy, Joe Gilardoni, Craig Manning, Chris Brown, Art Grunig and Rose Eichenberg.

The July show was a lot of fun at the Cresta Ranch. Thanks to Phil Hansen for doing a great job judging. Thanks also to all those who assisted in the show pen, holding herd, turning back, moving cattle or grooming the arena.

At the July Board meeting, the Saddle Shootout was reinstated. The Awards page contains information and rules for the Shootout.

Show dates for 2008 are August 30, September 13 and October 18. Mark your calendars! The rest of the VCHA shows will be at the Diamond C Ranch (Crestas), 3000 Porter Creek Road. Take the River/Road/Guerneville Exit off Highway 101; and go to East. River Road which becomes Porter Creek Road. The ranch is about 6.4 miles from Highway 101 on the right. The driveway leads down to both a covered arena and an uncovered arena. There is plenty of parking.

THE ENTRY DEADLINE IS AUGUST 27, 2008 FOR THE AUGUST 30 SHOW.
