In Memory of Bryan Hancock

The Reining Horse Foundation and NRHA mourn the passing of Bryan Hancock, 72, of Rocky Mount, North Carolina on August 30, 2026.

Bryan was an accomplished equestrian during her childhood and early adult years where she met and married her husband, Mike, who is the current president of the NRHA. Their love of horses only grew, and they shared their entire married life riding, showing, and taking care of horses. Bryan attended many NRHA and RHF events and will be missed. She was devoted to family and active in her community, leaving a legacy grounded in genuine love, care and generosity.
