NRHA’s 50th Anniversary Special Events Kick Off at the 2016 NRHA Futurity & Adequan® NAAC
As Loomis stood in the stands, taking questions posed by the audience, Haverty rode his horse Whodini, demonstrating training techniques, and at one point rode brideless, a pinnacle moment of the demonstration. The “Learn from the Legends” brought a diverse crowd of horse enthusiasts to the 2016 NRHA Futurity & Adequan NAAC. For those who missed it, the entire clinic was aired on Facebook Live for people who wanted to watch via social media.
Tomorrow, November 30th, brings the return of the Freestyle Reining, set to begin at 6 p.m. in the Jim Norick Arena. The Freestyle Reining is presented by The Oklahoma City Convention & Visitors Bureau and benefits the Reining Horse Foundation. For young reining enthusiasts, the first 100 kids admitted to the performance with purchase of a ticket will receive a 50th anniversary NRHA Breyer Horse.
