Going to the NRBC? Connect with other youth!

The NRBC would like to extend a big thank you to Tremblay Reining Horses and Tinker With Dreams for sponsoring the NRBC Youth Weekend!

With the circle of life at the heart of the National Reining Breeders Classic, investing in the next generation of reiners is a natural part of what we do. We’re excited to offer even more opportunities, prizes, and activities for youth competitors during this year’s event.

Heads up youth reiners and those who have the dream!

Attention Region 11 Western riders, families, college students, and coaches attending the show this weekend at Wilson College...

You don't want to miss this special NRHA Pro Clinic event with NRHA Pro HERM SHERWIN on Saturday, March 28th around 5:00 PM at your IEA Western Horse Show! This NRHA Pro Clinic is being generously funded by NRHA and the NRHA Professionals Committee.

It's a BIG DEAL to get up close and personal tips from an NRHA Professional - no matter where you are in your riding journey. This clinic is open to all IEA (and non-IEA) riders, teams, families, and college students.

Take advantage of learning some helpful hints, watch correct maneuvers on a pro reining horse, learn what the judges are looking for, and how you can progress in your reining journey. (It just might be the edge you need this weekend and at Region Finals.)

Herm Sherwin will be assisted by Maria Kochel for this clinic.
Don't be shy - ask him questions. That's why he is there!

IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE:
If/When you attend/watch this clinic - PLEASE BE SURE TO SCAN THE QR CODE below or on the flyers at the show. NRHA is hoping to track everyone's attendance at these IEA clinic events. Thank you.

Best of luck to EVERYONE on a successful weekend!
Please send any photos/videos of this clinic (crowd photos, close-ups, teaching moments, silly moments, group shots, etc.) to Kimber Whanger at [email protected] or by text at 614-542-9415 that we can share with NRHA for future promotions.
