The California Reined Cow Horse Association is dedicated to preserving the vaquero tradition through the training and exhibition of reined cow horses in California.

CRCHA hosts NRCHA- and CRCHA-approved events throughout the year, offering open and non-pro classes, spectaculars, and limited-age events for horses and exhibitors at every stage of development. Our shows provide a place to practice, compete for prize money and awards, and advance in the sport of reined cow horse.
