The National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) is an organization dedicated to promoting and regulating the sport of reined cow horse, a type of equestrian competition that showcases a horse and rider's ability to maneuver a cow. The events typically include reining, where the horse performs precise maneuvers, and cattle work, where the horse must control and move a cow in a round pen. The NRCHA sets rules, organizes competitions, and supports education and training for both riders and horses, fostering a community of enthusiasts who appreciate the skills and partnership involved in this traditional Western sport.
