Since its beginning in 1998, the National Reining Breeders Classic has been known for its huge payout, abundant prizes, and unwavering focus on rewarding reiners. So, when the NRBC Board voted on February 8 to increase the show’s added money by a whopping $50,000, the action should not have come as a surprise.

According to NRBC President Tom McCutcheon, the NRBC Board and staff are excited to make this change. He noted, “We have always been proud for the NRBC to be a leader in the reining industry and to stay ahead of trends. We were committed to increasing the added money for the Non Pro division as we know this is an important and rapidly growing part of the industry we want to continue to support!”

The addition of funds makes the NRBC Non Pro the world’s largest added money Non Pro for Derby age horses. McCutcheon added, “The NRBC L4 Non Pro already has an incredible payout and pays high in the go-round and in the finals. This $50,000 will be added to Levels 3, 2, 1 and the Prime Time Non Pro to encourage participation and reward the exhibitors in those divisions.”  

The addition of $50,000 to the Non Pro added money will take place right away, at the upcoming NRBC, set for April 18-25, 2021 at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas
