Historical Preservation is key to keeping our western industry alive and thriving in a modern world. Without these efforts, we would forget where our industry started, and how we grow from there. We partner on the NRCHA Hall of Fame, where we recognize people, horses, and more, who have made a difference within the organization. These members and horses have impacted our industry in more ways than one.
Historical Preservation

The People
The NRCHA Hall of Fame recognizes the people who, over the years, have contributed so much in so many ways to the organization. These men and women represent the most impactful horsemen in our sport, and have shaped the course of reined cow horse.
Hall of Merit
The NRCHA Hall of Merit recognizes the people whose contributions outside of the competitive arena have helped to guide and advance the sport of reined cow horse. Inductees are recognized based on the significant efforts they have made in support of the Association.
The Horses
The NRCHA is proud to recognize its Hall of Fame Horses. Each of these equine athletes have proven their merits over the years, through performance and progeny, and have helped reined cow horse develop into one of the most demanding and competitive equine sports.
”I would like to be known as a man of integrity, a man of honesty, a man that was kind to his horse, and loved his horses.
