2012 Tulsa Reining Classic 13 & Under division Youth Design-A-Pattern contest winner Emmy-Lu Marsh was the creator of a 11 & Under short stirrup pattern that made it into the 2014 NRHA Rulebook. The pattern was selected as the best pattern among several submissions by Design-A-Pattern judge, Doug Milholland, and was submitted by the Global Reining Sport Group to the National Reining Horse Association as a potential new short stirrup pattern. After receiving the pattern, the NRHA put the pattern through a standard vote, and the pattern was deemed as acceptable for the new rule book.
The Global Reining Sport Group would like to congratulate Emmy-Lu on her accomplishment!
