In 2023, the National Reining Breeders Classic introduced Draw Counters at each end gate. The digital displays allow exhibitors to quickly identify which rider is in the pen, and plan their preparation accordingly. Casey and David Davidson, at the time relatively new to the reining scene, elected to sponsor the innovative Draw Counters, and have committed to do the same in 2024. This year’s NRBC will return to Expo Square in Tulsa, Okla., and be held April 16 – 27.

“The Draw Counters have been a welcome convenience to our exhibitors, and we are thrilled that the Davidsons have decided to return as a valued NRBC Sponsor,” said Cheryl Cody, NRBC Secretary/Treasurer.

David Davidson, his wife, Casey, and children Deanna and Will, started showing in the Stock Horse of Texas association, competing in all four versatility classes – ranch reining, working cow horse, stock horse pleasure, and ranch trail – but quickly, reining became everyone’s favorite event. The Davidsons now ride with Gabe Hutchins of Tamarack Ranch.

The 2023 NRBC was the second major reining event the family had attended and became a must-attend. “It was a blast last year.  Everyone there was super nice to work with, and we plan to continue to show there for years to come,” David Davidson shared, adding that he, his wife, and both children will all be showing at this year’s event.

“I really like the new schedule this year, especially having the non pro and open separated like it is. I think it will fit into our schedule a little better,” he added.
