In this year of constant changes, the Global Reining Sport Group, which produces the Tulsa Reining Classic, graciously opted to sit out a year and let the National Reining Breeders Classic take place on its dates. That change and the move to Tulsa have given the NRBC the opportunity to host the South Central Regional Affiliate Championships for 2020.
It’s an important component of this year’s NRBC as there are 17 Regional Titles to be earned during the South Central ARC. Plus, anyone who enters and earns a score higher than a zero will qualify for the Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships held during the NRHA Futurity!
Global Reining Sport Group Treasurer Anne-Marie Burns has been key in the production and support of the South Central ARC and its activities and generously continued her involvement for 2020, working enthusiastically to maintain the ARC sponsorship support with the group known as the Affiliate Corral. This group of sponsors is committed to supporting the championships -especially the youth programs and activities. Burns said, “We appreciate the continued support of the Affiliate Corral at the South Central ARC from our many generous donors. Every year they help make this very important part of the show amazing!”
Along with the championships and the NAAC qualifications, the Youth Team Tournament held during the Affiliate Regional Championship show is one of its most engaging activities! Each team is drawn at random and consists of four youth, with at least one 14-18 rider and one 13 & under rider, along with two other members from either age group. A scoreboard tracks the progress, and the top three scores of each team are combined to calculate each team’s overall score, with the lowest score being dropped.
NRHA provides buckles and medallions for first through fifth place teams in the Youth Team Tournament and the Affiliate Corral funds prizes for every participant! Each YTT competitor is also eligible to complete the NRHA scholarship application and could potentially win a $1,000 scholarship or $800 scholarship based on their leadership skills, sportsmanship, and their community service activity. Thanks to the Affiliate Corral For 2020!
