Sport Horse The Gunners Special Nite
Platinum Anniversary Welcome Party started with joyful cama- raderie during a special cocktail hour. Afterward attention was called to grant special recognition and awards to the NRBC Level 4 Open and Non Pro Champions of the past twenty years. The eve- ning came to a close as attend- ees enjoyed scrumptious barbe- que prepared by Steve and Rita Reed-Harris. On both Friday and Satur-
day evenings, during the NRBC Open Classic Challenge and the Open Finals, spectators enjoyed watching exciting videos on the Jumbotron commemorating NR- BC’s history and meteoric rise to becoming the most successful stallion incentive program in the business. After the Open Finals win-
ners were presented with their awards, everyone was invited to attend the Matt Mills Reining Horses Victory Party in the Coli- seum concourse where they were entertained with live music from the County Line Band as they partook of a broad array of hors d’oeuvres and drinks. According to its organizers,
the NRBC is successful because of an entire village of effort: The stallion and foal owners, both Open and Non Pro exhibitors alike, sponsors, and vendors. As the Twentieth NRBC wraps up, may each person take something special from it to carry on to the next year: awards won, titles gained, goals accomplished, and lots and lots of memories. The National Reining Breed-
ers Classic, based in Byars, Okla- homa, is the most successful stal- lion incentive program in reining history. It has grown to include over 200 enrolled stallions and has paid out over $20 million in its 20 years of existence. For in- formation about the NRBC, visit the website at
