The world has been awaiting the most anticipated reining of the year, and it is finally here! Join the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) on Monday, November 25, as the World’s Richest Reining kicks off with the NRHA Futurity and Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships (NAAC) at the OKC Fairgrounds.

Beginning Monday, top riders and horses from across North America will vie for coveted NAAC titles and their share of $3 million after a year of competing and qualifying for the event. Viewers can also see exhibitors from across the world compete for ancillary honors, including riders from as far as South Africa. Monday will feature Open and Intermediate Open horses and riders competing for titles.

On Tuesday, November 26, the journey to Open Championships begins as riders enter the Jim Norick Coliseum to compete in the first round of open competition, which runs from November 26–29. The Non Pro competition starts on November 30.

This year marks a historic ending, celebrating the last NRHA Futurity in the Jim Norick Coliseum before moving into the new OG&E Coliseum at the OKC Fairgrounds. The NRHA Futurity began in 1966 in Columbus, Ohio, and moved to the Jim Norick Coliseum in 1986. Since the move, there has been astronomical growth in entries, added money, and spectators from around the world. The final NRHA Futurity in this special arena is set to be a memorable one.

In addition to world-class competition, the NRHA Futurity and Adequan® NAAC offers an expansive trade show showcasing vendors with diverse goods, including clothing, furniture, western tack, and décor. Enjoy free admission November 28, 29, and December 5 to complete some of your holiday shopping.
