The Golden State Versatility Ranch Horse Association is an affiliate of the Western States Versatility Ranch Horse Association.

The Mission of the Western States Versatility Ranch Horse Association is to promote and educate. In order to achieve this, we provide clinics and competitions. We seek to promote the development of the versatile ranch horse through participation in five events: cutting, cow horse, trail, ranch riding, and reining. We seek to educate those who ride, produce, and admire these horses. We intend to provide education and competition that is always in the spirit of safety, fun, and continuous learning. Our events will be produced with the needs of riders at all levels, from novice through advanced, always in mind. We strive to do so while maintaining the highest level of integrity, both toward competition and toward our ideals regarding the true, working versatile ranch horse.
