About this section

This Quarter Horse News reining statistical section is based on results of reining events during the years 1988 though 2007, along with major limited-age events from Jan. 1 through June 30, 2008, as researched and compiled by Equi-Stat, a division of Cowboy Publishing Group.

For the complete results, please see the Nov. 15, 2008, issue of Quarter Horse News.

Results included for 2008 are for limited-age events only. The reports include results from all reining events submitted and/or obtained from shows held during that 20 1/2-year period. Money attributed to a horse is the amount of money that particular horse won and is no way related to who actually received the money. Also, monies attributed to riders are not the earnings of the rider, but rather monies awarded to all horses that particular rider rode.

The staff at Quarter Horse News appreciates the efforts of secretaries and other show officials who provide accurate and complete show results. We appreciate the cooperation of the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), which provided official results from each of the association’s approved events. However, this statistical review does not include payouts of every reining competition in the United States and abroad. If we’re able to obtain results from any event we have missed, this information will be added to the Equi-Stat database for use in future statistical reports and stories.
