The National Reining Breeders Classic will feature an unprecedented three CRI3*’s in 2018! As excitement builds at the approach of the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games, so does the need for exhibitors hoping to represent their respective countries to attend qualifying events. NRBC offers these CRI3* classes as a courtesy to help athletes from all over the globe meet their eligibility requirements.

 In order to qualify to compete at the World Equestrian Games, each athlete must be qualified as an FEI 3* Athlete and achieve a minimum average score of 70 at two out of three different non-championship CRI3*’s. All must be completed with no elimination, disqualification or withdrawal, during the qualification period of January 1, 2017 to August 13, 2018. One of the qualifying results must be achieved no earlier than on January 1st of the year in which the Championships take place (2018) and no later than the end date of the qualification period.

Each slate of CRI classes will include CRI3*, CRI2*, and CRI1*. The CRI3* events are scheduled for the last three consecutive days of NRBC: with the first taking place on Friday, April 20th. The jogs will take place at 7 am on each morning. Plus, a CRIYR3* and a CRIJr* class will also be held on Friday, April 20th in conjunction with the other youth classes scheduled. The NRBC is a stallion incentive program. After a stallion becomes part of the program, his foals may be enrolled. Those foals, as 4, 5, and 6-year-olds, can then compete at the prestigious week-long event which has paid out $20 million in its past 20 years.
