The Owner’s Committee of the NRCHA is proud to recognize the individuals whose contributions to our industry reach far beyond the accomplishments of their horses in the show pen.
Just as a pair of cowboy boots stands firmly at the roots of our heritage, so do the people who fill them. The “Tough Boots to Fill” Award honors those whose legacy is measured by the lasting mark they leave on the NRCHA family.
Do you know someone whose impact has been felt through the countless ways they strengthen our community, support our events, and help preserve the values that define our industry?
Nomination deadline is August 21, 2026. The winner will be recognized at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity®
