2007 WRM Competitors Need Your Help
The 2007 FEI World Reining Masters competition will take place November 29, 2007, at State Fair Park Arena in Oklahoma City, OK. Many of the riders don’t bring their own mounts for the competition for a variety of reasons. Some are still searching for horses. If you have a suitable reining horse that you’d feel privileged to have one of the best reiners in the world use for this competition, please contact Sr Director of Alliances, International Development and Equine Sales Debbie Drinko – 405-946-7400, extension 119.

Tickets for the saddle raffle are $10 and may be purchased at the Classic Equine trade-show booth.
