National Reining Breeders Classic blue will be making room for a new hue at the 2021 show slated for April 18-25 at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas. During the show, some of the back numbers will be sporting a red stripe, but why?

“The NRBC Board of Directors decided to do this as a service for our exhibitors to allow them to advertise that the horse they are riding is for sale,” said NRBC President Tom McCutcheon. “The red stripe can be requested at the show office for a $5 donation to Rein In Cancer and can be added to any back number.”

Like so many things, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the buying and selling of horses. Travel has been challenging for many, so this will allow prospective buyers to easily spot horses being offered for sale during the show, even as they are being shown. The red stripe will also be visible to those watching the live feed from home. The horses’ owners’ and riders’ names will be shown on the screen during the run as usual, so making a connection will be simple. If the horse is seen schooling, an interested person can drop by the show office to find out how to contact the owner just by giving the back number.

Rein in Cancer is a 501c3 Non Profit Corporation that, to-date, has raised over a million dollars to support cancer patients. The organization has no employees – only volunteers – and over 98% of donated funds have gone directly to helping cancer patients.
