Northwest Reined Cow Horse Association

The Northwest Reined Cow Horse Association began as a grass-roots organization in 1997 and has grown to one of the nation’s most active National Reined Cow Horse Association affiliate clubs.

The growing sport of reined cow horse can be likened to a “triathlon” for horse and rider, where skill, endurance and a little bit of luck are combined to create a thrilling event. Horses and riders are tested in reining maneuvers, as well as herd work (similar to cutting) and fence work. The sport offers classes for every level of rider from beginner to professional, and attracts riders from other disciplines who want to try something new with their equine partners. NRCHA-approved classes are open to all breeds of horses and levels of riders.

NWRCHA hosts a series of horse shows at premier horse facilities throughout Oregon and Washington, with our largest show attracting some of the biggest names in the sport and hundreds of entries. Additionally, clinics are held throughout the year keeping our members active and involved year round.
