WTAMU Ranch Horse Team

The school year may be over, but the summer run has officially begun for our current and incoming members!

Several of our team members competed at The Gathering (SHTX) show this week and had a very successful week in and out of the arena. We are proud of the hard work, growth, and representation these riders continue to show.

Congratulations to all who competed — we’re excited for a great summer season ahead! Go Buffs 🦬
