Congratulations to the winners of the ThorSport Versatility Cup!
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
ThorSport Versatility Cup is a new award program designed to recognize competitors who demonstrate excellence across multiple performance disciplines. This program encourages competitors to broaden their participation, enhance their horsemanship and showmanship skills, and pursue success across a variety of classes. Competitors earn points in both Adult and Youth divisions in Showmanship, Equitation, Western Riding, and Reining for their chance to earn part of the $12,000 offered in this program! Points were earned at the WHOA International Grand Championships, TWHBEA World Versatility Championships, and NWHA Nationals.
Our sincere thanks to the Thorson Family for supporting and sponsoring this important program. The awards were presented by Connie Everett with ThorSport; Tommy Hall with WHOA, Mark Farrar with TWHBEA, and JoEllen Finerfrock with NWHA.
