REMEMBER TO DOUBLE-CHECK:

Does your horse’s NRHA competition license show the correct (current) owner’s names?
Is the horse’s owner a current member of NRHA?
Is the rider a current member of NRHA?

  • It is the responsibility of each owner and rider to be aware of the official earnings of the horse and/or rider as recorded by NRHA. We strongly recommend that you check with NRHA prior to completing your entry.
