The NRHA Hall of Fame is the sport’s most prestigious honor. Induction is awarded to individuals and horses who have had a profound impact on the association and sport through lasting accomplishments and significant contributions.
The Hall of Fame is an official project of the Reining Horse Foundation and honorees are recognized each year at Sliders’ Night Out presented by Toyon Ranch.
Honorees are presented with a gold Lawson Trophy and medallion as they are recognized with their esteemed NRHA Hall of Fame class.
NRHA members are encouraged to nominate deserving individuals and horses that meet the criteria for induction. Read more about the criteria and the nomination process by visiting the forms page or contact Liz Kelsey at lkelsey@nrha.com for more information!
