Art of the Bridlehorse - BCBHA

06/10/2026

Yesterdays Youth become tomorrow's Pros... 🥹

We are so excited to see the enthusiasm and the passion for these bridlehorse traditions being nurtured and shared at events like BC Bridlehorse Heritage Association's Art of the Bridlehorse as well as many other workshops and clinics throughout B.C.

Pictured here is Caleb Knoll hard at work this spring at Douglas Lake Ranch. It wasn't too long ago that Caleb was competing as a Youth rider, getting support and guidance from the Pros and now here he is, showing us all how it's done, like a boss!

We are so grateful for ALL our riders at Art of the Bridlehorse but our Pros are invaluable in helping to support and guide those who are still learning. 🙏 Thank you to all the working cowboys for helping to keep these traditions alive and to those who help support events like Art of the Bridlehorse, we are incredibly appreciative of your participation!

Spots are filling up fast for this years event in Barriere! It's going to be a great show. If you haven't registered yet, what are you waiting for!
