For the first time last year WPRHA teamed up with Tri-State Reining Horse Association to provide exhibitors with the option of showing in NRHA approved classes. Both organizations received tremendous support from members as well as exhibitors throughout the surrounding states so we are happy to announce that we will continue this partnership in 2017! This also offers the opportunity for exhibitors to qualify for the NRHA North East Affiliate Regional Championship Show held this year in Logan Twp., NJ September 14-17, 2017 and hosted by Eastern Pennsylvania Reining Horse Association. Last year’s ARC was held in October in Syracuse, NY. TSRHA bought the entire “Affiliate Team” green hoodies to go & support their fellow teammates at the event. Members enjoyed competing in a team atmosphere with the top 10 in each class winning various prizes from the NRHA corporate sponsors and qualifying for the NRHA North American Affiliate Championship Show held in conjunction with the NRHA Futurity in Oklahoma City, OK. Youth riders also get the chance to complete in the Youth Team Tournament held in conjunction with the Youth 13 & under and Youth 14-18 classes. TSRHA’s very own Clay Bricker was on this past year’s winning team! The Youth Team Tournament Program offers over $25,000 in scholarship funds and other prizes at ARCs throughout North America!
The following TSRHA Affiliate Team members were successful in their qualified classes at the ARC!
Green Reiners also have the opportunity to participate in the NRHA’s Green Reiner/Entry Level Program which provides a fun, educational and family-oriented ladder of competition with an inexpensive $25 Associate membership. Each rung of the ladder welcomes beginning reiners to compete with others of the same skill level while gaining more experience. In addition, an awards program from NRHA recognizes riders for their achievements. An even more appealing facet to this program is that some levels do not require ownership or an NRHA competition license.
