		<description><![CDATA[The National Reining Breeders Classic has long been the leader in the reining world for introducing innovative ideas, and the NRBC is doing it again with a new program that will certainly transform the industry. The NRBC Classic Challenge Program, which will be offered for the first time at the 2011 show, is for those horses that have aged out of the existing Derby programs in the reining industry. &#8220;The Classic Challenge Program will begin with a horse&#8217;s 7-year-old year,&#8221; said NRBC President Tom McCutcheon. &#8220;It will give horses an extension of their show careers and a chance for FEI horses to have another big-money event to compete in.&#8221; It will also encourage proper training and maintenance for long show careers at all levels while also rewarding owners for supporting international competition, added McCutcheon, who is a member of Team USA for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

		<description><![CDATA[$10,000 APEX payouts for Appaloosas in open competition If you’re an ApHC member in good standing, you can qualify your Appaloosa for lucrative Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) APEX payouts! In 2008, Honkin Hunter took first place in the Open 2-Year-Old Hunt Seat class at Just For Pleasure, earning a $10,000 award for owner Jennifer Carter thanks to the Appaloosa Excellence Program (APEX) that was originally introduced in the 1980s. (Click on the following link to learn more about Honkin Hunter’s win: http://www.appaloosa.com/news/2009/03_17_09.htm) Honkin Hunter’s victory shined a light on money-winning opportunities that more Appaloosa owners and riders should take advantage of. And, ApHC directors revised the program during the July 2009 board meeting to include the NSBA World Championship 2-Year-Old Open Western Pleasure Class—effective immediately! So get your Appaloosa ready to compete in the following eight events throughout the nation for your chance to win $10,000! To be eligible for APEX payouts, participating ApHC-registered horses must be enrolled in the Appaloosa Competitive All-breed Activities Program (ACAAP), or enrolled in the ApHC Distance Program when competing for the Haggin Cup. The rider/exhibitor and the owner must be ApHC members in good standing. 1. Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association National Finals Rodeo APEX [...]]]></description>
