NRCHA Extends Special Qualifying Requirements for 2022 Celebration of Champions

                     * * PRESS RELEASE * *

In 2020, with so many National Reined Cow Horse Association members impacted by the COVID-19 travel restrictions, the Board of Directors allowed for special qualifying requirements for competitors at the 2021 Celebration of Champions World Show. 

During their March 2021 meeting, the Board voted to extend those special requirements through the 2021 year for the 2022 Celebration of Champions. In order to be eligible to compete in the NRCHA World Show that is scheduled for February 10-19, 2022, exhibitors must have shown in three NRCHA sanctioned shows and/or complete the year-end standings of their NRCHA Region in the top 20. Many states have loosened travel restrictions and limitations on gatherings for events, but many barriers remain, such as the closed border between the U.S. and Canada.  

Extending the special qualifying requirements allows for more NRCHA members to potentially compete at the 2022 event. At the NRCHA Celebration of Champions, the NRCHA World Championship Show features the top horses and riders from each of the association’s eight geographic regions competing for World Championship titles in fifteen exciting events. In addition, the event includes the DT Horses, Hashtags and Western Bloodstock sponsored World’s Greatest Horseman, where one horse, one rider in one bridle compete for one very impressive title. 

The NRCHA Celebration of Champions also includes the Tres Osos Cow Horse Derby for 4- and 5-year-old cow horses.
