A MASSIVE Big Thank You to Easy-On Rugs & StockGuard Electric Fencing for their Fantastic support of our L3 & L2 Non Pro Gold Buckle Futurity at the 2026 Australian National Reining Championships. Your contribution is truly appreciated.

Easy-On Rugs
Easy On Rugs have been around for 20+ years and are the best rugs you can but for your horse.
If you want a Rug that you can trust not to cause your horse discomfort or pain, Then you need to try Easy-On Rugs.
Tried and Tested by the best.

StockGuard Electric Fencing is the leading choice for equestrian fencing and is currently protecting 2 out of 3 horses in many countries. The 4cm StockGuard electric tape (available in brown, green or white) provides an effective physical, visual and mental barrier respected by horses.
A very cost effective but high-quality fencing option, StockGuard is easy to install and maintain yourself.
StockGuard tape is very durable, even in extreme weather conditions, which means your long-term investment is made even better with reduced repairs and maintenance.
It is important that your fence acts as a visual barrier for your horse. Being 4cm thick, StockGuard is easily visible to your horses, and this visual barrier reduces dangerous incidents of frightened horses running through your fences. In the event your horse does run through the fence, StockGuard tape is designed to yield or break without causing injury to the horse.
Stockguard Fencing is electrified, which means that your horse will receive a zap if they touch the fence. While harmless, this sensation is unpleasant to the horse and they will soon come to respect the electrified fence and not test the boundaries. The electric fence tape is powered by an energiser, which produces constant current pulses. The higher the energy of the energiser, the stronger the delivered pulse.

There will be lots to celebrate at the 2026 Australian National Reining Championship s& Neylon Performance Horses will help turn those celebrations into amazing lifelong memories.
Neylon Performance Horses have been life long residents of Queensland, Australia and for the past 33 years, they have been actively raising, and breeding high quality performance horses for both Open & Non Pro competition.
Few things are more exciting than breeding & raising a National Futurity Champion, National Derby Champion and watching the thrill of a Non Pro and Open competitor win on a horse you have produced.
NPH base their success on their Mare Power ! Their Mare Power consists of Reining Australia Hall of Fame Inductee Lilmissnotiall, Wimpys Lil Miss, Lil Miss Genius, NPH Gunnernoitall, Winderadeen Chicka T Chex. Boasting Bloodlines of Wimpys Little Step, Great Resolve-Einstein, Gunner Special Nite, Terminator Whiz, Freckles Gay Doc, Yugilbar Ineka Chex.
A lot of people underestimate the Dam side when breeding. Although the genetic contribution of both parents is very important, a realisation has surfaced that the maternal strength might instead be responsible for more of the foal's attributes
