Matt Mills Reining Horses has been a long-time sponsor of the National Reining Breeders Classic as in the form of the Matt Mills Victory Party from 2017 until last year when the Covid-19 Pandemic led to the cancellation of the party. In 2021, the story will likely be the same, so Matt Mills Reining Horses opted to move its sponsorship to the Open Draw Party.
Normally a heavily attended event with food and drinks and a Calcutta, the 2021 Open Draw Party will be virtual in 2021 but still promises to be fun and entertaining with owners and enthusiasts across the globe able to watch online.
“Karen and I, along with our clients and friends Mark and Janice Dickson and Tim and MaryBeth Ruckman look forward to the National Reining Breeders Classic every year,” Matt Mills shared. “We’ve been longtime supporters and are extremely excited to have the opportunity to sponsor the Open Draw Party this year! Cheryl Cody and her team do an incredible job of putting on one of the best Reining events of the year. Best of luck to all of the exhibitors competing here at the 2021 National Reining Breeders Classic in the sport that we all love so much, reining!”
A freshly crowned NRHA Million Dollar Rider, Matt was one of the trainers featured on Paramount Network’s “The Last Cowboy” and was a part of The Run for a Million in 2019. He trains and shows futurity and derby horses and coaches Non Pro and youth riders. Consequently, he is in high demand for clinics in the United States, Europe and Mexico.
Another successful project that takes up some of his time can be found at MattMillsReining.com where his highly popular online instruction videos can be found. With all that going on, Matt is consistently ranked on the NRHA Top Twenty Professionals Riders list and is regularly a finalist at major NRHA events earning multiple titles including NRHA Intermediate Open Futurity Reserve Champion. He also has a successful track record at the National Reining Breeders Classic and has earned several large futurity and derby titles including RMRHA Summer Slide, High Roller Reining Classic, SWRHA Futurity and NRHA Cowtown Classic. In 2006, he was a member of Team USA that took the Gold Medal at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. To learn more about the National Reining Breeders Classic, go to NRBC.com.
