New Requirements for Consignors

The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) produces three premier reining horse sales each year during the NRHA Futurity & Adequan North America Affiliate Championship Show in Oklahoma City: the NRHA / Markel Insurance Breeders Showcase, Marketplace and Futurity Prospect Sales.

These sales offer an outstanding group of 2-year-old reining prospects, yearlings, stallions, broodmares, and show horses from leading breeders, owners, and trainers. From the crack of the gavel until the last horse exits the sale arena, hot bidding ensues and the world’s top reining horses change hands each year.

The deadline for consigning to the 2013 NRHA / Markel Insurance Futurity Sales is August 15.
