Please invite your friends and fellow horse lovers to attend one of the best "Pre-Futurities" in America. Here are just some of the reasons why:

  • We are going to have a great time and enjoy some fantastic reining starting the afternoon of Thursday, July 31, with the NCRHA Non Pro and Open Derby. This has been an exciting event since its inception three years ago and we know you won't be disappointed watching our best 4, 5, and 6 year olds battle it out.
  • Category 1 classes will commence at 8:00AM on Friday, August 1st with the $1000 added Open and Short Stirrups class closing out the day.
  • The long tradition of the NCRHA Futurity will be honored Saturday, August 2, starting with the Non Pro Futurity at 9:00 AM followed by the Open Futurity. You are invited to attend the post-futurity NCRHA Family BBQ Rib Feed.
  • Don't party to hard because Category 1 classes start back up at 8:00AM Sunday, August 3, where NCRHA Futurity Show High Point Cash Awards will be determined for the weekend in Youth, Green As Grass, Rookie, and Limited Non Pro.
  • Very special Green As Grass buckles have been made up to celebrate our beloved friend, Kevin Daniels. Donated by Jan Symchych and Peter Flint, these buckles remember a great competitor and supporter of new reiners in our club. We hope that everyone will grab some rail and cheer like Kevin during this class.

See, there's something for everyone at this show! Don't forget to thank and shop with our important sponsors and service providers!

 


The North Central Sire and Dam Program had a great year thanks to our members and stallion owners who have chosen to support the NCRHA Futurity through the donation and purchase of breedings from an outstanding list of sires. We thank you and our program facilitators, Larry Handley and Patti Jo McClellan for helping us provide the best in reining to the Mid-West and beyond.  Listed are 2007 winning sires and the offspring that earned their award in the '07 NCRHA Futurity. In addition to the paid entry for all program foals, stallion owners also receive an entry in the NCRHA Futurity. The list is always being formed for the next breeding season, so shop early and often for your next stallion service at www.ncrha.com!
