At the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), we know our youth members shine in the arena—but their talents don’t stop there. Many of our National Reining Horse Youth Association (NRHyA) members also excel in creative expression, and we’re proud to provide a platform to celebrate that through the annual NRHyA Art & Photo Contest.
We’re thrilled to once again partner with the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for the third consecutive year as the official sponsor of this special event. Thanks to this valued collaboration, the first-place entries in each category will be displayed at the prestigious museum during the 2025 6666 NRHA Derby presented by Markel—an unforgettable honor for our young artists.
We encourage all NRHyA members to join in. Whether you’re already active in the Varsity Reining Club or simply looking to explore your artistic side, this is your chance to get creative and be recognized.
This year’s contest will feature two categories, Photography and Mixed Media, and will be broken up by three age categories: 10 & Under, 13 & Over, and 14-18.
At NRHA, we’re committed to supporting and celebrating the diverse talents of our youth. The NRHyA Art & Photo Contest is one of the many ways we empower the next generation of leaders in and out of the arena.
Enter the contest here by May 10.
