Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic Announces Renewed and Increased Support from Ariat International:
The Global Reining Sport Group, owners and producers of the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic, is thrilled to announce the continued support from Ariat International as the title sponsor of this prestigious event. For 2011, Ariat has increased their support substantially to show continued partnership with the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic, as one of the cornerstones in the annual show season, and has committed to a three-year title sponsorship agreement.
"For past exhibitors and new friends alike, this year's event will be special and with Ariat's continued and increased support, we see great things for our future. We are very excited to show the world what is in store at the 2011 Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic, and beyond," said Colleen McQuay, president of the Global Reining Sport Group. Among the new changes, the Global Reining Sport Group has contracted HorsePower, Inc., the industry's leading show management and production firm to partner with the guidance of the GRSG on the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic.
New to the schedule at the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic are a few pioneering concepts, like the Developing Horse Futurity. Intended for horses and riders who may not want to compete at the highest level, the Developing Horse Futurity offers riders a chance to develop their young horses in a competitive setting.
Also new is the addition of an FEI-sanctioned Concours de Reining International (CRI) five-star class on Friday night. Following on the heels of the mega-successful Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup Five-Star competition, the GRSG is excited to add this international-level of sport to the Tulsa schedule.
Plus, much of what Reiners from around the world have come to love about the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic will be familiar. The event will still hold big-money aged event classes for futurity and derby horses, will still have multiple slates of ancillary classes and will once again be the host to the South Central Regional Affiliate Final, thanks to a firm partnership with OKRHA and plenty of hospitality and fun at this AA rated Reining event.
An official event website will be launched soon, giving all stakeholders a chance to gather information. Until then, be sure to mark your schedules for August 27-Spetember 4 for the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic!
