In an effort to create cohesion and unite ranch horse clubs and their communities throughout the West Coast region towards a greater purpose and year end goal, the Ranch Horse Alliance was founded in 2026. The Ranch Horse Alliance is a network of open and breed shows that offer qualification for a year end Championship show through participation in approved shows. The Ranch Horse Alliance program culminates in the West Coast Ranch Horse Championships Show held in 2026 on Saturday - Sunday, October 10th - 11th in conjunction with the WCRH Ranch Horse Rendezvous Show Oct 8-11, 2026 at California Ranch Company in Temecula, CA.

Alliance approved shows include at least 3 of the 4 recognized classes including Ranch Riding, Ranch Trail, Ranch Rail and Ranch Conformation. Exhibitors qualify by showing in at least 4 alliance shows between January 1st - September 10th. Qualification is based on horse and rider participation in alliance shows, regardless of divisions shown. Qualifier lists will be published periodically and the final list will be published September 15th. There is no fee for exhibitors to qualify for the year end Championship show through approved shows.

Each of the four WCRH recognized classes will be held on Championship day Sunday October 11th, 2026. Ranch Riding, Ranch Trail, Ranch Rail & Ranch Conformation* will be offered in Open, Non-Pro, Amateur, Amateur LTD, Green Horse, Green Horse WT, Green Rider WT, Youth, and Short Stirrup WT. *Ranch Conformation will run concurrent with WCRH Rendezvous Conformation on Saturday October 10th and awards given on October 11th. Champion Silver Platters, Buckles and Jackets will be awarded!
