RMHA Versatility Program
RMHA Versatile Horse and Rider Awards Program
RHMA Versatile Horse of the Year Award
The RMHA Versatility Program is designed to recognize the Rocky Mountain Horse for its many skills and attributes. Horses will acquire points based on performances, demonstrations, trail rides, shows, etc. The points will follow the horse regardless of owner or handler. Certificates will be given at the year-end awards banquet for Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels of accomplishment dependent upon the number of points the horse has acquired. While the RMHA Versatile Horse of the Year Award is for one year only a Calendar year consists of November 1st to October 31st.
Owners/Agents must submit appropriate forms and documentation (see links at bottom of this page) to the RMHA General Manager by November 30 each year in order for points to be tabulated before the banquet. Late submissions cannot be considered for the current year. The horse with the highest total of points for the year will be recognized as the RMHA Versatile Horse of the Year.
A demonstration or performance is made in a public venue with at least 25 people present. Documentation is required in the form of photographs, show bills, ride organizer signed letter, etc. In the event there is a question about documentation or an event not listed in the group of venues below, the Versatility Committee will review the information submitted and make a decision. Should there continue to be a question, the RMHA Board of Directors will make the final ruling. No more than 5 scores will be accepted for each venue. Each application must also have at least 5 different venues represented. For weanlings-2 year olds only 3 venues are required. While some events are simply based on participation, others may be judged competitions.
