Country Tough Trail Versatility was created by David and Brandy Von Holten, owners and operators of Von Holten Ranch, LLC. Von Holten Ranch (VHR) is a trail riding facility that is located in central Missouri. VHR is proud to be built on a treasured century farm since 1906. David is the 4thgeneration to own the family farm. When the gates to VHR opened to the public in 2014, David and Brandy hosted events for a wide variety of associations. What they found was a lack of appreciation for the trail horse. The Von Holten’s had previously created all cowgirl and co-ed competitions that allowed teams and individuals to showcase their versatility. Those competitions were based upon the rider, since some divisions were in cooking and knowledge tests. David and Brandy come from extremely vast backgrounds and understanding the importance of being well rounded. They realized that a competition was needed to embrace the importance of a solid trail horse. CT2V is designed to increase safety while developing a family atmosphere revolving around trail riding. There are three main elements of the CT2V competition: trail, ranch horsemanship, and obstacles. An In Hand option was added to help growth of CT2V. The ranch horsemanship is designed to help guide riders through an increase in skill sets/maneuvers as they progress in the organization. The obstacles are designed to test the relationship between the equine and rider with the use of practical and useful obstacles. The trail is to be actual trail without any outside obstacles being used. A solid trail horse must embody the skills used to navigate through any situation and have a trusting relationship; both of which will be tested in CT2V. Country Tough Trail Versatility is designed to create a platform for the trail horse to join the ranks of other disciplines, and not be “just a trail horse”.
