NMRHA Morgan Youth Reining Challenge!
Would You Be Interested!?!?
The NMRHA Morgan Youth Reining Challenge is sponsored by The National Morgan Reining Horse Association. It is run similar to the NMRHA Derby. There is no entry fee but entry forms must be submitted to NMRHA for the Challenge. The youth entry must then compete at the Morgan Grand National in the Non Pro Youth Reining Class in OKC in October. Placings of the Challenge entries would be made using the scores from this class. At the GN, youth riders do not have to own their own horses. This will make it a little easier for the riders to "get their feet wet" in reining.
The Youth Reining Challenge has become
great fun for the kids and is very entertaining to watch. Unlike the NRHA youth
classes, our kids do not have
to own their own horse. This
allows more kids to participate and enjoy the fun! The NMRHA also provides extra
money to all competitors who perform maneuvers correctly! The reining patterns
are broken down into maneuvers including turn arounds, stops, and circles in a
variety of different sequences. Each pattern has approximately 8 maneuvers in
it. Each maneuver is judged separately and is judged free of penalty points if
it is done correctly. As every rookie rider knows, there are way too many places
to obtain penalty points! Turn your horse an 1/8 too much or too little in a
spin…penalty points. Lead change not exactly at the center…penalty points.
Didn’t run past the marker for the stop…penalty points. Trot out of a
rollback…penalty points (just to name a few!) So, for each maneuver the kids
complete with no penalty points, NMRHA awards them $5. A pattern with 8
maneuvers could earn them $40 and if there are 2 judges, double that to $80!
