The NRBC was born in the fall of 1997 when a group of reining breeders, Tom McCutcheon, Tim McQuay, Pete Kyle, Dick Pieper, Carol Rose, Gary Putman, and Robert Chown got together and created the National Reining Breeders Cup. Other early members of the team were Colleen McQuay, Cheryl Magoteaux and Mike Christian.

In the first 11 shows, the NRBC Has Paid Out over $10 Million!

The Breeders Classic set out to provide a place to show 4 and 5-year-old (and later, 6-year-old) reining horses for lucrative purses that pay deep into the placings. As the largest added money reining in history, the NRBC has done just that - and more.

At the 2004 NRBC Show, the payout exceeded $900,000, and in 2005 the show crossed the Million dollar payout mark!  The 2006 NRBC Show payout exceeded $1,100,000!  The 2007 NRBC Show payout exceeded $1,200,000! Then, at the record-shattering 2008 Show, the payout was over $1.3 Million Dollars.

The NRBC is the largest added-money reining in the world, and last year surpassed a $1.4 million payout!

The show, which is held annually at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas, has always been a must-attend event – something that hasn’t changed in fourteen years of existence. NRBC Show Manager Mike Christian has announced that the number of stalls reserved for the event has increased substantially.

“In 2010 we used approximately 900 stalls, but this year we have over 1,000 horses already in stalls and had to order even more temporary stalls to compensate for any late entries,” he said. “Besides being here to show horses, this facility is a great place for people to bring their young horses to school..”
