NRHA sanctioned classes at Scottsdale.

The response to the concern of whether to continue to NRHA sanction the Scottsdale classes was not large (as expected). However, these responses were adamant to continue with the sanction classes and we will do so. (Only one negative response was received.)

And with this commitment from your ARHA board, I’d like to remind you of the $500 corporate sponsor. This money goes toward the prize money for Scottsdale and Nationals.

Region AOTR riders.
To win money (and prizes) at the AOTR Half-Arab and AOTR purebred reining classes, you must be a member of ARHA and also have nominated your horse and rider. Forms are available on the web site (www.arha.net) and from your regional rep, or call me. You must join before the region show starts.

Trophy saddles sponsored by Chavez Saddle and Nymeyer Tack will also be given to the purebred champion reiner, AOTR, at Regions 6, 10 and 16.

Reining at 2006 Class A shows.
Reining classes at the 5 Class A shows I’ve attended this year have all shown a great increase. The classes at one show took over 2 hours with 29 rides. (Really throwing off the show’s timetable!)
