About
Reining & AzRHA
|
The Arizona Reining Horse
Association (AzRHA) was founded
in 1984 as an Affiliate of the
National Reining Horse
Association
(NRHA). The AzRHA is a
not-for-profit organization
committed to promoting and
growing the sport of Reining in
the state of Arizona and
beyond. The AzRHA adheres to
the rules and regulations of the
NRHA and provides a forum for
exhibitors, breeders, and anyone
interested in the sport of
Reining.
The AzRHA is a family oriented
club for horse lovers and
showman who are interested in
sharing their love of the
reining performance horse with
like-minded people. We pride
ourselves on providing a venue
in which you can build long
lasting friendships and working
relationships between you, your
trainer and your fellow
competitors. The competition
here is very supportive and
friendly with everyone from
beginners to the seasoned
veteran.
Our shows occasionally include
“Barn Blast” parties, coffee and
doughnuts in the morning, bake
sales for the Youth club, a
Slide Contest benefiting the
Dale Wilkinson Memorial
Foundation, and the incredibly
popular Egg-n-Spoon Race (which
has also become a national hit
at the NRHA Derby in June… it
started right here in Arizona as
a fund raiser for our Youth Club
at AzRHA). We offer shows and
events where competitors and
their families can have fun and
enjoy their time together in an
environment that is uniquely
“reining horse-oriented.”
Whether you are a seasoned
showman with great aspirations
or a beginner who wants to learn
to “slide and spin”, we are here
with a host of options to meet
your needs. Here at the AzRHA,
we truly believe that our
Association is the “Best in
Arizona” and we look forward to
welcoming new members and
friends to our club. We
encourage you to attend one of
our shows if you want to
compete, or if you simply want
to learn more about this
exciting sport of Reining. At
these shows, you will find many
people that are willing to help
you get started, answer your
questions or offer assistance.
Our shows offer a full slate of
NHRA Approved classes so there
is something for everyone!
Most of our shows offer the
following classes so there is
something for everyone. Some of
the classes offered at the NRHA
