News from the Annual Meeting - All affiliated associations had a representative or proxy at the Annual Meeting Feb. 11 in Nampa.

Decisions were made on the class list for 2012. The notable change is that the Non Pro Limited is now the "open" class, not $5000 restricted. For further info on the description please see the NRCHA rule book.

Shows are encouraged to offer
  the Non Pro Limited Derby. If there's sufficient interest among riders and approved shows, it could be added to the Circuit class list for 2013.

The Circuit welcomes the Twisted
 Wire Derby and Horse Show, Great Falls, Montana to the approval list!

Criteria for the Circuit Sire award have been modified to require THREE qualified offspring, instead of four.

SHOW MINIMUMS - As noted on the class listings page, to qualify for 2012 Circuit awards, the horse must be shown in the class at a minimum number of shows:

For Horse Show Classes: 5
For Derby Classes: 3
For Futurity Classes: 2

     Circuit Information

The Intermountain Reined Cow Horse Circuit was established in the early 1990’s in the Intermountain area of the Northwest. It is a unique and very successful alliance of reined cow horse associations - all NRCHA affiliates.

The vision of the Circuit's founders continues today: to promote awareness and involvement in breeding, training and showing reined cow horses; to provide an area-wide recognition and awards program; and to  support regional cow horse shows.

These goals continue to form the framework for the Intermountain Circuit.

Responsive to area needs, based on input from show reps, riders and trainers, the Circuit Class List features NRCHA classes, plus a few additions.  A commitment to added money by each approved event has also made the Circuit a very lucrative series for owners and riders.

The Annual Meeting of the Intermountain
Circuit is held in January or February of each year, prior to the Awards Banquet. Representatives from approved shows, and interested riders, owners and trainers are welcome to attend to discuss classes, show approvals, dates, clinics, awards, regional and national news, conduct elections, and carry out other business.  All horsemen are welcome and encouraged to attend.

All horses entered in Circuit-approved classes at Circuit-approved shows are tracked for Circuit points. There are no Circuit membership dues.

Shows interested in Circuit approval should review the material here, and call with any additional questions.

Approved events are horse shows, which may also offer derbies and/or futurities. Please see the Show Approvals section for guidelines on added money and Circuit fees.

To be eligible for Circuit awards the horse must be shown in the class a minimum number of times, with points counting from all approved shows.
