NRCHA Partnership Renewal

Jan 02, 2021

Gist Silversmiths has extended their long-standing partnership with the National Reined Cow Horse Association through 2025.

“We are thrilled to renew our corporate partnership with Gist Silversmiths!” said Allison Walker, Communications Manager for NRCHA. 
“Gist provides the best quality customer service and awards to the NRCHA and our members. We appreciate the team at Gist always going above and beyond for us. A great example of their dedication to our association is creating a brand new 2020 World Show qualifier buckle. After a difficult year, Gist wanted to offer something special to our exhibitors to commemorate their hard work to get qualified for the World Show, even if they are unable to attend.”  

The 2021 Celebration of Champions will take place in Fort Worth, Texas from February 9 – 20. It includes riders competing for World Championship titles, as well as the World’s Greatest Horseman and World’s Greatest Youth Horseman. Gist championship buckles are awarded across each of these competitions, along with the Cow Horse Classic Derby.

NHSRA approved the addition of Reined Cow Horse to their slate of events in 2014 and this “World’s Largest Rodeo” now includes over 100 high school youth qualifiers annually competing for a World Championship title in Reined Cow Horse. “We are honored to create distinctive trophy buckles to recognize the achievements across the many premier events hosted by the NRCHA throughout the year.”
