The Volunteer Ranch Horse Association is an affiliate of the American Ranch Horse Association which was organized seven years ago. Butler stated that the fee structure for memberships and showing is very reasonable and that the  points earned in the shows can also count toward various AQHA and APHA points and programs.  Butler added that the caliber of horses has improved so much that early on there were only a few horses that were really talented, but now there are only a few that are not talented.  Butler is very proud and appreciative of the VolRHA program and its growth over the last few years.
