BURBANK — The California Reining Horse Association hopped into gear March 29-31 with its Bunny Slide Reining competition Easter weekend, and the region’s top reiners earned some ground toward in their 2013 campaign toward club and affiliate qualifying for this fall’s big events.

In addition to serving as the first two National Reining Horse Association Affiliate Shows of 2013, the Bunny Slide also served up two slates of CRHA Jackpot competition. Two full slates of PCHA reining classes included two Jack and Linda Baker qualifying classes.

All told, the three-day reining at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center provided a springboard for qualifiers to the CRHA’s venerable Challenge competition, including the second annual CRHA Reiner of the Year competition, as well as a qualification to the NRHA Affiliate Finals.
