6th Annual Ranch Horse Round Up Was A Huge Success!
The 6th Annual Ranch Horse Round Up put on by NVRHA and hosted by Kit Carson Riding Club would like to again express its sincere thanks for every sponsor, online auction donor, as well as every event and auction participant.
The late year event came together in a short 5-week timeframe amidst uncertainty and restrictions due to COVID-19; yet, our donors seem stirred even more to give. We are thankful to announce the final net proceeds figure of $7,382.06 which will be split equally between The Remount Foundation and Pike Peak Region YMCA/Camp Shady Brook.
We hope you will remember these sponsors with your business dollars. They gave generously during a time when most businesses are struggling.

Volunteering - People often ask what kind of help we need:
With this years event being a one day Clinic, we will certainly need some volunteers, but not to the extent of our 2 day events (it takes over 100 Volunteers to put on the event) whether taking tickets at the gate, parking lot assistance, helping with the Buy/Sell Auction, Concessions, Decorating, preparing the Facility, being a Roadie for the Benefit Concert Band and much more. Volunteer slots are being built now and can be found by clicking below. For questions regarding volunteering, contact Pam Cobb at 719-548-8075 .

Testimonials
Molly Flores – Daughter of Active-Duty Vet (Mother) and 90% Injured Warrior Vet (Father) When I rode in the NVRHA event to support our Warriors at Kit Carson Riding Club’s last year, I had many emotions. I was proud to support the women and men that served. It grew in me a bigger ambition to do my best because I knew my participation was helping raise money for our country’s wounded. I was overjoyed to help and wished the day wouldn’t end.
Blake Cobb - I helped with the Ranch Horse Round Up Event, spending a few days making and donating leather items to raise money for soldiers who had come back with injuries. It taught me a lot and made me feel really good because my own father was deployed during that time. I greatly appreciate my father in what he does for his country and my family. The year prior, when I learned my dad would be deployed for the third time, I was angry. I didn’t want him to leave for Iraq because life was always harder when he was gone – more chores at home – more difficult at school. I was glad to be able to stay in touch with him by email. Eventually, we got news my father would return just a few days before Christmas. We were very excited, and we drove to the airport to pick him up. He landed in a massive C-130.
Nora McFadden - The Ranch Horse clinics and classes to help our warrior vets are very fun. Everyone is nice and helpful. I rode in Ranch Riding and Trail. Riding teaches patterns and Trail teaches you and your horse how to do obstacles together, like walking over a bridge, getting something out of a mail box and other things. You learn everything on Saturday and then you apply everything you learn in the fun day classes on Sunday. I was the youngest one in each of my classes and we did really, really well. We did the best overall in the Youth Division, which surprised me because I am a beginner. It’s a lot of fun and for such a great cause. You should sign up.
