 The Tulsa Reining Classic, held at the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is off to a great start. Due to the large growth of the American Quarter Horse Association All Age Reining and Open Schooling class, the TRC added another day at the beginning of the show to accommodate the class that has grown to 218 entries!
The event is busting at the seams, as TRC Stall Supervisor Rosie Ericsson announced that the number of stalls purchased has already exceeded last year’s numbers. “In 2014 we filled 871 stalls. This year, we have already passed the 900 mark, and since this is only the first day of the event, we expect that number to grow as more people arrive,” Ericsson said.
Competition continues Tuesday morning in the Ford Truck Arena with the second section of the AQHA All Age Reining. Action kicks off in the Mustang Arena with the first of the National Reining Horse Association ancillary classes.

Rhodes River Ranch is a visible supporter of our industry across the country, and its stallion Whizkey N Diamonds had a tremendous career and is very popular among our breeding clients. We are thrilled to have him included in the Tulsa Reining Classic/Quarter Horse News Stallion Auction in addition to their sponsorship of the Novice Horse Derby.”
