In This Episode
Consider this:
The NRHA reported its 2022 membership at 14,384. Reining History 101 boasts over 15,000 members.
How does IHSA fit into the puzzle?
Bart’s mother coaches the Florida State IHSA team which operates out of BC Reining Horses. A large percentage of IHSA competitors don’t come from a horse background. This gives Bart a glimpse into the draw of the equine industry on the rest of the world.
– IHSA vs NCEA
– Structure of competition
Reining History 101
NRHA was founded in 1966 on three pillars: Good Ground, Good Judges, Good Purses
– Ground is good
– Judging is satisfactory
– Purses are growing
Is our growth sustainable?
– Nomination Programs
– Shows competing for the same exhibitor pool (this pool is not growing!)
– Newcomers ability to succeed is questionable
Bart’s take on shows in the Southeast and the influence of the Cuban culture
We are an industry that claims to be businesslike and professional but we manage with a club or hobby mindset.
