The event is a collaboration between the Lazy E Arena and Stock Horse of Texas, ensuring a memorable and one-of-a-kind experience for participants and spectators alike.  

The National Ranch & Stock Horse Alliance (NRSHA) is pleased to announce that the Lazy E Arena is the new home of the NRSHA National Championship Show. The event is moving to Guthrie, Oklahoma, and will be held in conjunction with The Gathering at the E presented by Equinety, May 14 – 18, 2025.  

AQHA and VRH have provided a platform to NRSHA to develop and grow the National Championship. That platform has helped to create the stability needed for NRSHA to take the next step in elevating the show.  “We want to thank AQHA for hosting the NRSHA National Show for several years as the Alliance was getting started,” said NRSHA President Charles Pellham. “Now with 11 members in the Alliance, we felt moving to the Lazy E for NRSHA’s premiere show was a step in the right direction for the event to continue to grow.” This move gives the Ranch and Stock Horse Industry two major championships to qualify for each year. >>> Read more…
