2013 NRHA Derby edition

Richest Derby To Date The NRHA Derby Show is NRHA’s premiere event for the world’s best 4-, 5- and 6-year-old reining horses and hosts of two slates of ancillary classes. This year’s Derby finals were the richest ever, paying out approximately $948,000 to owners and nominators of open and non pro finalists. The 2013 stall count was 1,020 and entries were about 1,640 throughout the week.

Also in attendance were the Interscholastic Equestrian Association teams to compete for their finals, which ran during the NRHA Derby. The finalists represented 33 teams from seven zones throughout the United States along with their families.

A big thank you to those that took time out to participate during the NRHA Derby Non Pro and Open Award Ceremonies. NRHA had great compliments from Corporate Partners and NRHA Derby finalists. Each enjoyed meeting the

other. We look forward to continuing this in the future. Thank you again for your support
