NRHA Affiliate Program
"Reining at a grassroots level."
Our affiliates are where you will meet your reining family! You may set your sights on an Affiliate Regional Championship (ARC) title, the Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships (NAAC) in conjunction with the NRHA Futurity, or compete only at a local level. Regardless of what goals you set, NRHA is here to help you achieve them.
NRHA has established an affiliate championship program to assist in the development of reining at the grassroots level. With the assistance of NRHA Corporate Sponsorship, the association contributes over $40,000 to participating Affiliate Championship Programs. This means you will get a chance to take home incredible prizes along with a regional championship title. Many affiliates also offer year-end awards to high money or point earning horse/rider pairs. Find the closest affiliate to you by checking out the lists of NRHA Affiliates below.
If you have wondered about the affiliate program, there has never been a better year to experience it! Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 and the impact it could have on shows this year, anyone can show at an ARC, even if you are not from that region. If you receive a score higher than a zero, you will qualify for the NAAC. We would love to see you at one of the upcoming ARCs:
