Tag on the Swag at NRBC

Magnum Chic Dream Exhibitor Bags, Not Ruf At All T-shirts, and Electric Code Ball Caps

At the National Reining Breeders Classic, swag is second to nothing…except, perhaps, big payouts! Placing competitors can expect a plethora of top-of-the-line prizes as awards, and every exhibitor entered can claim some great collectible gifts when they check in at the show office thanks to three committed sponsors: Jack and Viola Scott, Jared Leclair, and Zimmerman Performance Horses.

Jack and Viola Scott have owned 27-year-old Magnum Chic Dream since he was purchased as a 2-year-old with the intent to make him Viola’s rookie horse. He served her well, and earned championships for the open rider who started him, Patti Brownshadel, and later, Casey Hinton, bringing his total lifetime earnings over $44,000, but as a sire, Magnum has accomplished so much more.

Throughout his breeding career, Magnum Chic Dream has sired multiple major event champions that made him an NRHA $9 Million Sire and NRHA Hall of Fame member. By Smart Chic Olena out of Sailin Barbee (by Topsail Whiz), Magnum Chic Dream will be the honored name featured on the custom carry-all bags that will be given to each Classic entry thanks to the Scott’s generous sponsorship.

The handy bags are chocked full of pockets and NRBC exhibitors find infinite uses for them throughout the year as they are seen at shows near and far throughout the year. For more information about Magnum Chic Dream, visit magnumchicdream.com.

Vaughn Zimmerman, owner of Zimmerman Performance Horses and its headline stallion, Not Ruf At All, is providing high-quality custom printed t-shirts for Classic exhibitors. The t-shirts are designed with a fresh new look every year to punctuate the partnership between Non Ruf At All and the NRBC.

NRHA Million Dollar Sire Not Ruf At All is one of only a handful of Triple Crown Champions and has earned more than $456,500 during his own show career. He is known for his tremendous heart and try and passes these features to his offspring.

Bred to the hilt, Not Ruf At All is by NRHA $3 Million Sire A Sparkling Vintage out of All Ruffed Up (by NRHA $3 Million Sire Lil Ruf Peppy). He is currently standing at Cedar Ridge Stallion Station in Whitesboro, Texas. Go to notrufatall.com/ to learn more.

Owned and shown by Jared Leclair, Electric Code has earned more than $215,000 during his show career, and as a sire, he is rocking the reining world with offspring earnings exceeding $1 million dollars. Known for his balanced conformation and incredible mind, his foals are highly sought after by professionals and non pros alike.

In 2008, Electric Code was the highest earning 3-year-old after winning the NRHA Intermediate Open Futurity and third in the Level 4, the SWRHA Levels 4 and 3 Open Futurity, and the Rocky Mountain Reining Summer Slide Open, Stallion Stakes Open and Intermediate Co-Championships. He went on to win many more championships and a finalist spot in the 2010 NRHA Derby.

Go to theranchequine.com/electric-code to learn more about Electric Code because his name will be prominently alongside of the NRBC’s on the fashion-forward ball caps that will be given to each Classic entry thanks to the generosity of Leclair in helping to provide them.

The 26th Annual NRBC will take place at Tulsa’s Expo Square on April 16-23. For information about the event and its stallion incentive program, go to nrbc.com.

100X Equine Provides Videos for Exhibitors at NRBC

Exhibitors at the National Reining Breeders Classic, slated for April 16-23, 2023, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have even more to look forward to. That is because 100X Equine has joined the sponsorship team to bring everyone’s official run videos right into their inboxes.

The videos are produced and emailed out by official show videographer Equine Promotion, but each competitor will get their individual runs delivered directly to their inboxes thanks to the generous support of 100X Equine.

“The NRBC is a leader in the industry, so being able to partner with them is our great honor,” she said. “Allowing exhibitors to receive a copy of their runs allows them to go home and analyze their performances to help then gauge where they can improve and where they are strong. They can keep a catalog of their videos so they can watch their improvements over time.”

Through her work with 100X Equine, Smith is wholly dedicated to the well-being of all horses and believes that following the scientific approach to their healthcare needs is the foundation of caring for them.

Having the Kiser drags is a benefit for the show, according to NRBC Secretary-Treasurer Cheryl Cody. “For over 30 years the Kisers have designed and built the best arena drags in the world and continually work to improve them.  That’s why shows like the AQHA World Championships, NRHA Futurity and Derby, NCHA SuperStakes, Derby, and Futurity, NRCHA Derby, Futurity, and World Championships, the American Performance Horseman  – and, of course, the NRBC – all rely on Kiser Arena Drags to deliver the very best footing.”

She continued, “With the NRBC’s extremely high level of competition and a million dollars at stake, we are happy to offer our exhibitors this premier quality of footing preparation and maintenance.”

He said, “Kiser Arena Specialists has been involved with the NRBC on several different levels since its inception and we are excited to continue our support through this new sponsorship. Our history with the NRBC and Cheryl Cody and Pro Management made this an easy decision. We are proud to provide the equipment to ensure the best quality reining footing at the NRBC.”

Schooling Protocol Changes for 2023 NRBC

With the move to Tulsa from Katy, the NRBC will return to unstructured schooling. After arena conditioning at the end of classes each day, riders may ride until the arena closes for ground prep prior to the next day’s classes.

Please be aware that next-day horses will receive priority and that the Ford Arena will be limited to Ford Arena horses only at all times. A schooling schedule will be posted.

FAQ: Entering Additional Ancillary Classes if Horse is Already Entered in an Ancillary Class
With a lot of people coming to the NRBC for the first time, the NRBC office has been getting multiple questions. One of the most common is about adding additional ancillary classes if a horse is already entered in a class.

For adding additional ancillary classes for a horse that is already entered in at least one ancillary class, there is NO LATE FEE as long as the horse is entered by NOON the day prior to the class.

However, if a horse entered in an ancillary class adds an entry in an NRBC aged event, all normal late fees will apply.

FAQ: Arena Conflicts – What to Do if you Draw up in Two Arenas at the Same Time
In the event of a draw conflict (Rider/Horse or Rider/Trainer) between the arenas, the FORD arena will take precedence and will remain unchanged.

The draw position will be modified at the Super Duty Indoor or Super Duty Covered Arena.

If there is a conflict between the Super Duty Indoor and Super Duty Covered arenas, the Super Duty Indoor will take precedence and will remain unchanged. The Super Duty Covered Arena draw will be modified.

To have a draw position moved, talk with the back gate person at the arena that doesn’t take precedence. Do not go to the horse show office, or to the announcer, or to the bit judge.

The back gate person is the only one who has the authority to modify a draw position.

Draws may be moved earlier in the class and may be moved as early as desired but will always go last in a set.

Draws may also be moved later in the class. However, draws moved later will only be allowed to move a maximum of two sets later than the original draw. Draws moved later will always go last in the set.

Clark’s Pump-N-Shop Celebrates Leading Sires with Innovative NRBC Award

There will be an exciting new addition to the awards lineup at the 2023 National Reining Breeders Classic, because the NRBC and Clark’s Pump-N-Shop will recognize the leading sires of the event with the NRBC Top 10 Leading Sire Awards.

Along with continuing to award the traditional blue crystal vases to the sires of the champions in all divisions, the foal earnings for each sire will be tracked, and the Top 10 list of sires for the Classic will be tabulated daily. It will be announced each day at all three arenas, published in that day’s Slide Street Journal and on social media, and shown on both the jumbotron and the live internet video feed. At the end of the show, the final Top 10 Sires will be recognized, and the representatives of the stallions will be presented with commemorative crystal trophies.

“We have a lot of great stallions and great owners in our industry, so it’s great to recognize them,” noted Rick Clark, co-owner of Clark’s Pump-N-Shop. “When Cheryl (Cody) approached me with the idea of sponsoring awards, I thought it was a unique way to do so. In our business, awards like these crystal trophies are ones that will be displayed in the barn or kept in the recipients possession forever. We all treasure that recognition.

“The NRBC is such a long-standing show; Cheryl and her team at Pro M do a top-notch job of running it, and it has a great group of people on the Board of Directors and the show staff. I supported it with my stallion when I had him, and I felt it was time to be a part of it again.”

Cheryl Cody, NRBC Secretary and Treasurer, noted “The board members and management team of the NRBC were excited to debut this new stallion recognition program. The sires are so essential to our industry and to the NRBC and it is important to highlight their accomplishments. Having Rick catch this vision and join as the naming sponsor was a verification of the importance of creating a new way to honor these stallions and their owners. His visibility and prominence in the industry make him a perfect partner!”

Clark is well-known to those in the reining horse industry. He recently finished his second term as President of the National Reining Horse Association and has been active in the reining industry for nearly three decades. He has been involved in all aspects of reining, as an owner, breeder, competitor, Board and Committee member for NRHA and the Reining Horse Foundation. He’s also served on the NRHA Sale Committee and as a leader in the Futurity Challenge.

Clark has long sponsored individual events across the country, so stepping up as the sponsor of the NRBC Top 10 Sire Awards was a natural fit for his patronage.

“I’ve always given back to the reining industry, because I believe that when something is good to you, you should be good to it. I showed for many years, until I got hurt, but I call myself a reining lifer,” he said. “We’ve seen plenty of people who come and go over the years, and then they’re out, but I have so many great friends in reining that I look forward to seeing at every event.”

Clark’s Pump-N-Shop, which operates nearly 70 stores in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida, was established in 1976 by John W. Clark. The convenience store chain is now co-owned by John’s sons, Rick Clark and Brent Clark.
