The Wild Card Reining Challenge, produced by Brumley Management Group, LLC, takes place May 19-26 at South Point Arena and Equestrian Center in Las Vegas. The innovative reining’s design will feature a 4-year Old Futurity (with eligibility requirements), 4-year Old Stakes (no eligibility requirements), two slates of NRHA Ancillary divisions and NRHA Southwest Affiliate Qualifiers, two slates of National Arabian Reining Horse Association (NARHA) Divisions, a 4/5 Year Old NARHA Pre-Futurity, and Educational Seminars.

The Wild Card Reining Challenge 4-year Old Futurity is designed to allow horses to develop more slowly as well as to provide a venue in which they can garner significant earnings without going head-to-head with more experienced equines. The 4-year Old Futurity benefits not only the horses, but breeders, owners and trainers. It also encourages longevity of the reining performance horse. The event dates provide approximately nine additional months of training for these horses. There’s ONLY ONE REQUIREMENT to be eligible to compete: Horses must be four years of age as of the start of the calendar year and cannot have been shown in any NRHA approved 3-year old futurity.

The 4/5-year Old NARHA Pre-Futurity offers the NARHA eligible horses another location to show for prize money and awards. In addition, the event offers NARHA Approved Arabian and Half Arabian divisions for Open, Non Pro, Rookie, and Youth to win money and awards.

The Educational Seminars are a large part of the goal of this event, teaching exhibitors about the rules of scoring, reining horses’ specific needs in training, shoeing, veterinary care and preventative maintenance. This year, Casey Deary, two-time NRHA Futurity Champion, will give a reining seminar on Saturday, May 19, joining NRHA Million Dollar Professionals Andrea Fappani (2016) and Jordan Larson (2017). NRHA Judge Bub Poplin will be speaking on “Inside the Mind of an NRHA Judge” on Sunday, May 20. Don’t miss all the action and be a part of the fun by attending the Wild Card Reining Challenge in Las Vegas. Visit www.wildcardreiningchallenge.com.

The Fiesta Charity Mane Event is happening Saturday, April 28, at 7 p.m. at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center Equidome. 2018 marks both its landmark 20th Anniversary and Fiesta’s Grand Finale. It has been an honor to serve our community each year, and we are proud to present another exciting show, upholding our annual tradition of raising funds and awareness for cancer research. In this uncertain economy, however, show sponsorships have slowly declined while costs to produce the show have significantly increased. The Fiesta Charity event has long since exhausted its reserves and is simply unable to continue in the manner it would like, so barring the receipt of a special grant, endowment or support of a major year-round sponsor, this year will be the finale.

Organizers plan to take Fiesta out in style and invite you to join us one last time, honoring friends and family who have been touched by cancer — those who are fighting it today, those who have lost the battle, and the Cancer Heroes who have beaten this devastating disease.
