ABOUT THE WILD CARD REINING CHALLENGE

     The first Wild Card Reining Challenge in Las Vegas, Nevada will be held from May 25th through the 29th, 2016. Hosted by the South Point Hotel, Casino and Equestrian Center, the "Wild Card" has been specifically created to offer young reining horses more time to receive the training they need to begin long and sound careers in the demanding sport of reining.
   "For years I have been listening to horsemen lament the fact that some very good horses are not ready for the extreme physical and mental stress that can come with three-year-old reining competition," says Amanda Brumley of Brumley Management Group, LLC., creator of the Wild Card Reining Challenge. "Horsemen say that some horses are not ready for it. They need a little extra time; some slower preparation. Talk about a Four-Year-Old Futurity has been floating around here for a lot of years. I think it's an idea whose time had come."
   A lot of folks agree with Amanda. The concept not only allows for slower development of valuable, top quality equine athletes, it also precipitates longevity for the horse's ultimate career in the show pen. The event dates for the Wild Card show in late May provide an additional nine months of training time past the three-year-old deadlines. Those extra nine months can be critical to the horse's development.
   A big supporter of this concept and now one of the primary sponsors for the Wild Card Reining Challenge Four-Year-Old Futurity is Tamarack Ranch of Joseph, Oregon. Owner Suzy Simar is a longtime supporter of the Brumley Management shows.  
"Our plans are to make the Wild Card Reining Challenge just as unique as its "sister shows": the Cactus Classic, Arizona in March; the Reining By The Bay, California in July, and the Las Vegas High Roller Reining Classic, Nevada in September," says Amanda Brumley. "Included is two full slates of NRHA Ancillary divisions and DRHA Southwest Affiliate Qualifiers (NRHA Category 1) and $10,000 Added SmartPak Non Pro Maturity which includes divisions for Arabian and Half Arabian Reiners. In addition, the $47,000 Added Arabian and Half Arabian 4/5 Year Old Futurity, sponsored by Cedar Ridge Arabians, Jordan, MN, educational seminars on training and judging, and classes for our friends from the World Para Reining Organization. We look forward to seeing everyone at the South Point, Las Vegas in May!"

  The 2016 Wild Card Reining Challenge show debut this spring will be strongly supported and covered this year by the widely read and respected Horse & Rider Magazine.
   "We're very excited to be a part of the premier Wild Card Reining Challenge show," says Horse & Rider editor Jennifer Paulson. "We've been 'on board' with the idea of a Four-Year-Old Futurity for Reining horses for years, starting with the Red Shirt Futurity concept. This is a great opportunity for growth in the industry and a chance for horses that cannot, for one reason or another, do a three-year-old futurity."
   Paulson, who rode and showed horses as a youth, teen and (briefly) as a non-pro, feels the event provides unprecedented opportunity and, importantly, reflects the interests of Horse & Rider's large readership. This is a publication with a substantial, loyal following and a Social Media audience of over a half-million.
   It's good news for the fledgling Wild Card show. Horse & Rider has been the magazine of Western riding for decades, informing, entertaining and educating experienced and novice horsemen in the west and nationally for over fifty years. With its tightly focused training articles, practical stable-management techniques; hands-on health care tips and you-are-there approach to major equine events, they are a near perfect partner for Brumley Management Group, LLC, and the Wild Card Reining Challenge.
   This promise of global coverage will benefit the event and its dynamic sponsors like Lucas Oil, Protect The Harvest, Tamarack Ranch, Markel Insurance, and SmartPak among others.
   "Another reason why Horse & Rider is now a part of the Wild Card show are the much anticipated free seminars that are slated to focus on topics like judging, training, breeding, and sports medicine," notes Paulson. "Conducted by experts like NRHA 4 Million Dollar Rider Andrea Fappani, NRHA Judges' Committee Chairman, Jody Brainard and esteemed equine veterinarian Dr. Khris Crowe, Wild Card is an ideal function for Horse & Rider magazine, with our strong, on-site video, blogs, stories and Social Media coverage. The event is a perfect match for us!"
   Whether you bring horses to show or just come to watch, this is going to be a not-to-be-missed, exciting, long weekend filled with great new ideas, innovative approaches and super show horses. For those of you who cannot attend in person, the entire event, including the seminars, will be broadcast LIVE via www.HorseShowglobal.com   
 
4 YEAR OLD FUTURITY GUIDELINES

The Wild Card Reining Challenge $65,000 Added 4 Year Old Futurity has been created to offer young horses more time to receive the training they need to start their competition careers. With this goal in mind, to be eligible to compete in the WCRC 4 Year Old Futurity, horses must be 4 years of age as of the start of the calendar year and cannot have been shown in ANY Age Event Competition/Futurities as a 3 Year Old. These horses are allowed to be shown in AQHA, NRHA or NRCHA events to receive the show seasoning required as part of the training process as long as the NRHA/NRCHA Category 2 - 3 Year Old Futurity Aged Event restriction is followed. The 4 Year Old Wild Card Four-Year-Old Futurity is an event that does not require nominations or enrollments for participation. The horses must have an NRHA Competition License to compete and pre-entries are due April 22, 2016.  Riders are required to enter up at least one level from the lowest level qualified.
 
Event retains only 35% of entry fees! 5% to NRHA and 60% added to the prize purse.
