Teton Ridge Partners with NRCHA
2022-08-22 08:00 - 17:00
TETON RIDGE PARTNERS WITH NRCHA AS A NEW CORPORATE SPONSOR AND THE TITLE SPONSOR OF THE STALLION STAKES

The National Reined Cow Horse Association is excited to announce new corporate sponsor Teton Ridge. As part of their sponsorship, the second premier event of the 2022 show season is now the Teton Ridge Stallion Stakes. An event for 4- and 5-year-old reined cow horses annually held in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Stallion Stakes Derby is an event where eligibility to enter is restricted to offspring of stallions enrolled in the NRCHA’s Subscribed Stallion Program. As the owner of NRCHA Breeder Sponsor stallion Smooth Talkin Style (sired by Smooth As A Cat), Teton Ridge is positioned to support this ever-growing event that shines a light on the reined cow horse breeding industry.
“Teton Ridge has made a significant impact on the equine industry in a short time,” said Anna Morrison, NRCHA executive director. “This partnership with NRCHA links the momentum behind Teton Ridge with one of the fastest growing, most adrenaline-filled horse sports today.”
Teton Ridge, owned by visionary entrepreneur Thomas Tull, has made its presence felt in the Western equine world of late as the multi-platform brand has stepped into the rodeo and performance horse arenas. The brand’s focus on classic Western sports could not have found a better home than with NRCHA. With the title sponsorship of the NRCHA’s Stallion Stakes, Teton Ridge invests in the most traditional of all Western performance events, as reined cow horse traces its roots to Vaquero horsemen who originally settled the West.
The Teton Ridge Stallion Stakes will be held at the South Point Hotel & Casino’s Equestrian Center March 25 through April 2, 2022. In addition to supporting the Open Derby event, Teton Ridge’s title sponsorship helps showcase all ages and levels of the NRCHA membership competing in horse show classes. Additionally, 2022 will be the first year that the NRCHA Hall of Fame Banquet will be held during the Stallion Stakes.
“A high energy brand that is focused on highlighting the way of life our members honor and live daily is a natural fit for our association,” Morrison said. “Shared values make for a powerful partnership, and we’re grateful to Thomas Tull and Teton Ridge for putting their support behind NRCHA and the Stallion Stakes.”
With the Teton Ridge title sponsorship of the Stallion Stakes, the NRCHA has a full slate of premier events supported by outstanding brands and companies invested in the growth and sustainability of the NRCHA. Entries at all premier events in 2021 were between 15 and 30 percent higher than previous years, proving that reined cow horse is drawing members interested in having fun horseback while competing in events that require horse and rider to bring plenty of skill, courage, and grit.
