Horse shows can be expensive, especially for parents with multiple children showing reiners. Most kids need more experience in the show pen to improve their scores, so it can be extra costly to get enough arena time for each child. Tremblay Reining Horses is easing that financial pressure at the 2023 National Reining Breeders Classic, by their sponsorship that pays all Youth Entry fees.
Tremblay Reining Horses is run by Fred and Dany Tremblay. Originally from Canada, they are now based out of Diamond Dub Quarter Horses in Marietta, Oklahoma. The brothers have made a name for themselves through Dany’s abilities in the show pen and Fred’s marketing skills working in the background. Together, they have grown their business into one of the most successful reining horse training, coaching, and marketing programs in the industry.
Dany crossed the National Reining Horse Association Million Dollar Rider milestone in 2021 and has claimed multiple NRHA major event titles and American Quarter Horse Association World and Congress Championships on some of the best horses in the industry. He was named NRHA’s Non Pro Coach of the Year in 2020 due, in part, to Fred’s exceptional ability to successfully match riders with the right horses.

Through their work with Non Pro riders, Fred and Dany feel that encouraging youth participation now will ensure reining’s imminent success. Fred said, “We are very proud to be able to support the kids and their families. It’s fun to see the kids’ smiling faces when they show, and if we can help make that happen, it is a mission accomplished for us; after all, they are the future of our industry so keeping them involved is very important.”
The NRBC has bolstered its youth for years, since celebrating its 10th year with the debut of the first Youth Scholarships, which have been paid out to high-scoring young exhibitors every year since. For more information about the show, go to nrbc.com.
