The Tulsa Reining Classic presented by Kimes Ranch not only celebrates its 20th event, it also is raising the bar for payouts. The Silva Reining Horses, LLC Open Futurity Level 4 features a record purse of $60,000 thanks to the support of the Friends of Tulsa group.
“We are so excited to have the support of the Friends of Tulsa who are adding to the purse for the Silva Reining Horses L4 Futurity,” said Pete Kyle, owner and manager of the Tulsa Reining Classic. “This is the largest payout in a single level in the history of the Tulsa Reining Classic! We are in awe of Tim and Rick’s generosity.”
Tim Anderson of Forever 21 Ranch and Rick Clark of Clark’s Pump-N-Shop are the inaugural members of the Friends of Tulsa group. Both are passionate about reining and assisting in the growth of the 3-year-old events at the TRC. Anderson’s stallion XoChic is the namesake of the XoChic Ford Truck Arena where the futurities and derbies will take place. The livestream begins Tuesday, August 30 with the Cardinal Ranch Emerging Horse Futurity from the XoChic Ford Truck Arena.
