About Us

Welcome to the Southern California Reined Cowhorse Association

The SCRCHA is an organization of people passionate about their horses and the reined cowhorse disipline.

According to our bylaws:

The purpose of the SCRCHA is to improve the quality of the western reined stoch horse: to perpetuate the early Spanish traditions of highly trained and well reined working cow horses; to promote exhitits and cow horse events and contests in expositions and shows; to promote the training of reined cow horses and to promote interest in reined working cow horses among the younger horsemen in Southern Califonias region of the United States; to use and encourage the use of standard rules for holding and judging contests of the reined working cow horse.

We put on 7-8 events per year, including the Sheri Gilkerson Memorial in May and our annual Saddle Shoot Out in October.  All of our events are held at various facilities in the Temecula area.  This is a fun organization of people that is very welcoming and open to new participants.  Come out and watch a show, Talk with the list of trainers and others invovlved and we hope to see you soon!
