What is almost as daunting as riding into the arena at the National Reining Breeders Classic, competing for a piece of the more than $1 million purse?

Being one of the officials whose job is to score those exhibitors.

That is why the judges for the NRBC are always knowledgeable, well-respected, and highly qualified. Each has several major events under his or her belt, and many are veteran NRBC judges.

The Coliseum judges for the 2021 NRBC in Katy, Texas, will be Robert LaPorta, Van Luse, Shannon Fowler, Reid Fady, Corey Hendrickson, and Nick Baar. They will be assisted by scribes Ron McMillian, Carla McMullen, Schelly Bankston, Nicole Marr, and Selena Bradshaw.

The Coliseum Pre-check judge will be Gary Putman.

Doug Millholland, Ed Cridge, Terry Thompson, and Andi Paul will be scoring the action in the Tellepsen and Wheless Arenas with scribes Lynn Nelson, Monica Westbrook, and Vicki Wright.

The NRBC will be held April 18 – 25 at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas. A complete schedule, entry forms, news, and more can be found at www.NRBC.com.
