445 CT2V members!

Isn't that amazing! CT2V was formed because we hosted events for eight different associations. Loved some completely, and loved certain aspects of others. We found our niche, which in turn helped us find our people.

What an honor to create an association and for it to be fully accepted by the equine community.

Thank you!

CT2V is such a valuable piece of Von Holten Ranch's history, it will be offered with the sale of Von Holten Ranch 1st. If someone purchases the ranch that does not want CT2V, then we will move forward with the future of CT2V at different locations. Von Holten Ranch will only be for sale until September 20, 2025. After that it will be taken off the market. It will not be a trail facility again with David and Brandy. For that reason alone, I do hope it sells. This facility has a lot to offer the equine community.

CT2V member 445, Rhonda Harder with her filly Mia. They were the 2024 Foundations 1 National Champion.

The last three photos are of CT2V member 1, Bill Hachmeister with his granddaughter doing a goat race, our cat Grayson modeling the underwear used in the Cowboy Roulette competition, and an actual photo of Bill on his horse Beau. They were the 2020 Bronc Buster Reserve National Champion.

CT2V really is something special.

We left all the obstacles in the covered arena after the 7th Annual CT2V National Championship. So many people are loving to play with the obstacles.

Amy stayed after CT2V for Chix in the Sticks. She was able to work through a few trail meltdowns and help Frenchie even more. Frenchie was not impressed with being left in the stall barn alone after CT2V but before Chix started arriving. Amy also worked more with the big “hula hoop.”

According to Frenchie, I’m sure she would give VHR a big 👎 or a 🖕.

Sometimes I try to capture what I see to share the experience with others. CT2V competitor, Karen Brennan, has been working hard with her young mule. The obstacle they are working on is supposed to imitate an old timey hay loft raise. Most people think it’s a tether ball when we have a jolly ball attached. www.ct2v.com #countrytough #CT2V #ranchhorse #horseshows #openshow #obstaclecourse #mule #gaitedhorse #leadline #obstaclecoursetraining #beltbuckles #ranchhorseversatility #familyfun #versatility #missouri #vonholtenranch #countrytoughtrailversatility

There’s a small restaurant in Cole Camp called Missouri Made. We are going to try something new for the June CT2V this weekend and offer a lunch. It will be delivered as a box lunch with your name. I will need a rough count as soon as you can and then you will need to pay Saturday morning the latest. Combo paninis, Italian sandwich, BLT, or chicken Salad on a croissant, plus a side and a drink. We will have order forms at sign up. Sandwich only $9, sandwich plus a side OR drink $11, sandwich side and drink $13. Plan on throwing in a minimum of $2 for a tip/delivery. If you know about Phantom V alcohol, they also sell that awesomeness.

Check out CT2V competitor (aka baddie) Jennifer Hammett’s video!!! Great video!!!

Country Tough Trail Versatility

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”.
