The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Futurity will bring the best three-year-old reining horses to Oklahoma City, OK, starting Thanksgiving day, but to many NRHA members the Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships (NAAC) is the final leg of their quest to proudly represent their region among riders from the U.S., Canada and Mexico; and battle for an NRHA North American Affiliate Championship title. This year’s Adequan® NAAC, held in conjunction with the NRHA Futurity, will see even more competitors giving it their all for international bragging rights. Entries in the Adequan® NAAC are up more than 30% with 354 entries received to date. Ancillary entries also are healthy with a 4% increase over last year.

The Adequan® NAAC runs Sunday, November 29–Saturday, December 5 and is the culmination of a year of demanding competition for NRHA reiners across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Riders must first qualify at their affiliate circuit shows. The top 10 in each division advance to one of 10 Regional Affiliate Finals events. The top five riders, plus ties, in each division at the Regional Affiliate Finals are invited to compete in the NAAC to find the best reiners on the continent. Admission and parking are free to watch NAAC competition in the Adequan® Championship Arena.
