About Us

Crocus Cow Horse Association

The Crocus Cow Horse Association was formed in 2005 to promote cow horse sports in Manitoba.

The Crocus Cow Horse Association currently offers 3 core events: Reining, Herd work ( Ranch Cutting), and Cow work/ Ltd cow work (Working Cow horse). Extra events may be offered at a show but will not be included in Versatility scores or Year-End placings. The Versatility score is the cumulative sum of the 3 core events.
Membership runs from January 1- December 31 of the calendar year.  Fees must be paid prior to or at the first show the exhibitor enters.   Manitoba Horse Council or other Equestrian Canada recognized insurance is mandatory.
