Clinics and Special Events

Education Into The Arena

The NRCHA is dedicated to educating its members so they feel more confident entering the show pen. Through out the year the NRCHA will host or subsidize NRCHA Affiliates to host local clinics for local youth and cowboy class competitors.

Each clinic has NRCHA professionals teamed up with attendees to expose them to the sport of reined cow horse. The clinic focuses on increasing participants’ horsemanship, and provide one-on-one coaching through the herd work, reined work, cow work, and steer stopping. Additionally, attendees will educated on the NRCHA judges system with a breakdown of how each event is judged and each score card used.

NRCHA members: consider organizing your own local cow horse clinic for National High School Rodeo competitors and other high school-age riders. This can be done through your NRCHA affiliate, in a small group or as an individual. Support materials are available to help you produce a free or very low-cost clinic.
