OKRHA

What Does OKRHA Do? 

We put on horse shows, seminars and clinics to provide our members with opportunities to compete, improve their skills, meet new people and have fun!  OKRHA aims to promote the breeding, training, and exhibition of the Reining Horse.  Each year we have a banquet and year end awards presentation to celebrate the accomplishments of our memebers. OKRHA also has a great youth program!

​

I’m Just a Beginner! 

So are lots of our members! That’s why we have classes called "Green as Grass Rider" and "Rookie". Are you a horse trainer that has never shown in NRHA competitions? Give the Rookie Professional or Limited Open class a try. We are all striving to be better – at many different levels. 

 

How Do I Start? 

Contact the National Reining Horse Association at 405-946-7400 or www.NRHA.com to learn about what you need to do to compete. The NRHA’s Reining 101 Guide is a great source of information. CLICK                          to learn more about how to get started with REINING!
