More than 60 open riders and horses entered the Jim Norick Coliseum Arena at Oklahoma State Fair Park to battle for a qualifying position in Saturday’s finals. Two offspring of Walla Walla Whiz sit atop the leader board of the level 4 open division composite: Walla Whiz Affair and ARC Prized Walla.

The $260,000-added National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Cinch Non Pro Futurity entered the Jim Norick Coliseum Arena at Oklahoma State Fair Park yesterday with the first section of the go-round. More than 100 non pro riders took to the arena yesterday at the 2013 NRHA Futurity & Adequan® North American Affiliate Championship (NAAC) Show that runs until December 7 at Oklahoma State Fair Park in Oklahoma City.

Each finals sends its eight highest placing riders, plus ties, to the Adequan NAAC to compete for North American bragging rights. NRHA congratulates the following champions that already have been crowned during the show.

With six sets of points over the course of the four-day event, this show is the perfect primer for your post-Thanksgiving show schedule.

Thursday/Friday judges- John Briggs, Kelly McDowall, and Chris Jones

Saturday/Sunday judges- Brad Kearns, Liz Baker, and Debbie Cuvelier

Each received a bevy of prizes for their achievements, including cash, saddles, custom trophies, tack, grooming supplies, embroidered gear and photographs. Hart Trailers awarded one-year use of a three-horse aluminum slant-load trailer to the All-Around Horse.

Judges for the December portion of the show will be Sandy Curl, Sally Jo Freund, Trisha Shorten Armstrong, and Teresa Sullivan. Judges for the January portion of the show will be Tom Crowley, Marty Jo Hays, Ann Jones, and Chris Arnold.
