The American Paint Horse Association’s Chrome Cash is returning to the National Reining Breeders Classic set for April 16-23 at the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The program will feature $5,000 in added money just for Paints.
“We are pleased to welcome the APHA back to the NRBC,” said NRBC Secretary-Treasurer Cheryl Cody. “The NRBC Board and staff are always glad to be able to provide our exhibitors with more incentives!”
The Chrome Cash program creates a class within a class exclusively for APHA-registered horses. Exhibitors showing in the NRBC Open or Non Pro event for 4-7-year-olds riding APHA registered horses are eligible to enter. Owners and riders must be APHA members.
APHA Senior Manager of Chrome Cash Sunny Bates said, “The leadership of APHA is excited to expand Chrome Cash to more reining shows in 2023, with the first one of the year being NRBC. At such a premier event, there are sure to be plenty of talented APHA horses competing and we’re honored to offer them this extra recognition.”
Chrome Cash can be added to Classic entries until noon two days before the start of the first go in the Non Pro and in the Open. To enter Chrome Cash, go to nrbc.com/show-forms/, find the Chrome Cash entry form and fill it out and return it. You can also enter in the show office at the NRBC.
There are two ways to qualify for APHA registration:
1. If an AQHA horse has at least one APHA registered parent (sire or dam), then it is eligible for APHA registration (regardless of markings).
2. If an AQHA horse has no APHA parents but has a minimum of 2 inches of solid white hair or pink skin above the hock or knee and behind the eye, then it may be eligible for APHA registration.
