Moo-ving On Up Buckles Announced! Need incentive to start showing in the NRCHA classes? We know that the jump from the affiliate classes to the NRCHA level can seem like a big leap - so we created the Moo-ving On Up buckle program! (A huge Thanks to Dale DePriest for this GREAT IDEA!!) Who is eligible? Any rider who has not earned any NRCHA money prior to November 16, 2009 is eligible. Riders must also be current ORCHA members. How does it work? We will track points within specific NRCHA classes. Riders are currently awarded points based on thier placing in a class. These points will also be tracked within the Moo-ving On Up Program and a High Point will be awarded at the end of the year. Classes include: $5k Non Pro Limited, Novice Non Pro Bridle and Limited Open Bridle.

Looking for Futurity Sponsors!! We need a naming sponsor as well as division sponsors for the Futurity & Derby. Email Carrie for details.

Awards Banquet Save the date! February 26, 2011
