The National Reining Breeders Classic has long been the highest added money event in the reining world. It has also been the leader in the reining industry - the first Derby event to include 6-year-olds, the first to include Prime Time competition, the initiator of the enter-once to be entered in all categories for which you are eligible - and much more. Now with the international influence of competition for aged, the NRBC is once again stepping into a leadership role - with the NRBC Classic Challenge Program  celebrating a lifelong career for reining horses.

What is Classic Challenge?
The Classic Challenge Class will be held at the NRBC Show beginning in 2011. The Classic Challenge Open Class will feature $20,000 added and will run concurrently with the $25,000 added NRHA Category 1 Open Class and the $5,000 added CRI. --- That makes a total of $50,000 Added to be won.

The Non Pro Classic Challenge will have $25,000 added, and will be run concurrently NRHA $5,000 added NRHA class  giving a total of $30,000 added to the Non Pro. Classic Challenge classes will also be held for all levels of Non Pro riders and Youth.

$20,000 Added to Open
$25,000 Added to Non Pro
$10,000 Added to Intermediate Non Pro
$2,000 Added to Limited Non Pro
$2,000 Added to Level 1 Non Pro
$2,000 Added to Prime Time Non Pro

What is the purpose of the Classic Challenge Class?
This is a new concept for horses that have aged out of the existing Derby programs in the reining industry. The Classic Challenge Class was created to encourage career longevity for a horse and reward owners for supporting international competition. It will also encourage proper training and maintenance for our horses to have a long show career at all levels.

How does a horse become qualified?

If a horse is by an eligible NRBC stallion and is enrolled as an NRBC foal, it can be advanced as a Classic Challenge horse for $300, making it eligible for its lifetime.

How is the added money funded?

Both by the advancement fees of the Classic Challenge horses and by additional funds already paid by enrolled stallions.
