National Reining Horse Association (NRHA)

The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) is a professional organization that promotes the sport of reining, a type of western riding competition. In reining, riders guide their horses through a series of precise maneuvers, including spins, stops, and circles, showcasing the horse's agility, speed, and responsiveness. The NRHA sets standards for competitions, provides rules, and sanctions events, ensuring fair play. It also offers education and resources for riders and trainers, helping to grow the sport. Established in 1966, the NRHA has become a leading authority in reining, both in the United States and internationally.
