The Green Pages
Thinking about trying the cow horse? You're in the right place! We've started The Green Pages for you to use as a starting point. Please Email Carrie if you have more questions and we'll add them to the Green Pages!What is the Green?
At most cow horse shows, they will offer Green classes. The Green Program is designed to give beginning cow horse exhibitors a fun and competitive environment to learn how to show a cow horse. As long as you are not a professional trainer and have not gone down the fence 3 times or more in a cow horse class, you can ride in the Green! There is no age limit or limit on previous horse experience.
Our local NRCHA affiliate, the ORCHA, is VERY beginner friendly. During the ORCHA Green classes, you will always find Shaun and some other trainers on the fence, all helping out, coaching riders through the work. And if you want help from Shaun, just ask!! It's a very friendly atmosphere and we want everyone to be sucessful and have fun! And the best part, once you graduate out of Green II, you get a buckle!
