2023 NRHA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCED

The National Reining Horse Association is pleased to share that the 2023
executive committee is now fully seated and boasts members with years of
experience as well as a first-time member. Led by President Mark Blake and Vice
President Mike Hancock, the Director-At-Large positions will be held by Shane
Brown, John Tague, Ed ‘Hoot’ Bricker, and past president Rick Clark.

Mark Blake Mike Hancock Shane Brown John Tague Ed Bricker Rick Clark



Clark and Bricker were elected by the NRHA Board of Directors for one-year
terms, and Tague won by acclamation and was confirmed by the board for a
two-year term.

“I am really excited about the group that we have,” said NRHA President Mark
Blake. “I think that we are going to meld together quite well, and we have a
really diverse skill set among our executive committee members. Pretty much
everyone in our industry is represented between owners, professionals, breeders,
and non pros. I am excited to get to work and have everyone’s skills used.”

This will be Hancock’s second term as vice president. “I am super excited to be
back,” Hancock said. “I have missed all the family and activities associated
with being on the Board for the last couple of years. The close of my last term
was the COVID year, so I am thrilled to see the movement we have had since then
and excited to see the growth I know we can obtain in the future.”

Hancock will serve as NRHA president after completing his two-year term.

“Getting Mike on the executive committee is outstanding,” said Blake. “He comes
with a phenomenal background knowing our rules and bylaws, and his past
leadership will be very welcomed on the executive committee”

Bricker will serve his first term in this role after serving on the board for
the past three years and entering his fourth representing the Northeast region.
He has been a staunch supporter of local affiliates and has extensive committee
experience, including serving as Chair of the NRHA Stewards Committee. He brings
extensive experience as a longtime member, NRHA Judge, and Steward.

“Ed comes from a great background and did a phenomenal job as the chair of the
stewards committee,” said Blake. “He poured his soul into that committee, and he
will bring that work ethic to the executive committee and will hold everyone
accountable. He also brings a different perspective to us and intangibles that
we haven’t had in the past.”

Kentucky native Clark will bring continuity and experience, having served two
separate terms as NRHA president and over a decade of leadership positions
within NRHA. Clark has invested more than 25 years in NRHA as a competitor,
owner, and now NRHA Global Partner.

“Some may believe having the past president on the executive committee can be
detrimental, but he will bring a lot of support for our mission moving forward
along with being a great sounding board,” said Blake. “We are excited and lucky
to have him.”

What is best for NRHA is where I want this executive committee to go,” said
Blake. “If it is best for the majority, that’s where we want to be. We have
people with great listening skills, it is a diverse group, and we are picking up
Hoot, who is from a different part of the country, which is great for us as
well.”

In addition to the NRHA Executive Committee, the NRHA Board of Directors is now
fully seated, and the full list can be viewed here.

the NRHA Bylaws and the NRHA Elections page.

UPCOMING NRHA NOMINATION DEADLINE

All members have the opportunity to nominate weanling foals into the NRHA
Nomination program at the lowest rate till January 10. Be sure to send in all of
your nominations to the office by Monday, January 10. The option to complete the
process online through ReinerSuite is also available for ease and quick
submission time!

NRHA Member and Show Services/Nomination Representative Emily Rush said, “We are
so fortunate to have ReinerSuite available to us now because it really is the
fastest and most economical way to nominate a horse. The $10 handling fee is
waived when you do it online, and you receive an instant digital confirmation.”

The program was created to grow its North American and European Futurities and
Derbies to new heights through enhanced payouts. The NRHA is proud to share that
this program has allocated 60 percent of all the fees to the Futurities and 40
percent to the Derbies after a 10 percent administration fee! The enrollment of
foals creates additional added money for the purses at the Futurities and
Derbies, which saw a 42% increase in the North American Open Futurity in the
very first year.

Members have the option to nominate to one or both the European and North
American programs, with the option to add both at a later date if desired.

When a horse competes and wins money at one of the Futurities or Derbies, the
nominator receives 5% of the earnings! It does not matter if the nominator still
owns the horse or not. Any horse can be nominated, and the original nominator
can never be changed.

Be sure to take part in this fruitful program and send in your nominations no
later than January 10. The fee doubles after that day until January 31. The foal
is considered a yearling after January 31, and the fees adjust accordingly.
Horses foaled in the Southern Hemisphere from July 1 through December 31 will
still be considered weanlings during the next calendar year.

Guidance on how to complete nominations can be found in the Resources Library,
as well as a trouble-shooting page that can be found here.

More information, including nomination forms, can be found
at nrha.com/nomination.

OUR CONDOLENCES – MIKE DEER

On December 25, past National Reining Horse Association President Mike Deer
passed peacefully in his sleep at 82 years old. The reining community feels the
loss of Deer, who not only served the industry and participated for more than 20
years but was a true fan of the sport.





Prior to serving as NRHA President from 2017 to 2018, Deer served as a regional
director for two years, on the executive committee for three years, was vice
president of the Reining Horse Foundation, and served his local affiliate.

“Mike Deer joined the NRHA Board in 2008, the same year I did,” said Rick Clark,
NRHA past president. “I worked with him many, many years, and my first term as
president, he served as my vice president. I knew him personally and his wife
Rita, and Mike was a strong vice president. He supported me in every way, and it
meant a lot to me. We were great friends. He would ask for advice while he was
president, we owned horses together, and took trips together.”

Deer and his wife Rita both participated in the show pen and bred reining
horses. He took pride in representing the average member and the small breeders
who impact the sport so greatly.

In addition to this NRHA experience, Deer was a Colorado Licensed Commercial
Insurance Agent and Broker for a Ranch Real Estate Company covering most of the
U.S. for more than 30 years. He and his wife Rita then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma,
in 2018.

“Mike had such a passion for NRHA — running from the green reiner to the Level 4
Open and the masters classes. He just had a charming personality and was one of
the finest, honorable individuals and truest friends I have ever known.”

Deer leaves behind his wife of 37 years, Rita, and his four children and seven
grandchildren.

“Mike went through the ups and downs together, and it is a big loss for NRHA –
but Mike lived life to the fullest,” said Clark. “I have a lot of respect for
that man and learned a lot from him, and he served a lot of years for our
association. He played a big part in where we are in the association today.”

Deer wrote in an NRHA Reiner article, “Grab your friends and neighbors,
encourage them to buy a nice horse with slider plates, find a decent patch of
dirt, and just say, ‘Whoa!’” May his legacy and joy for the reining industry
continue.

Services will be held in Kansas on Saturday, May 6, at St. Ignatius Parish Hall,
816 Grant St., Neodesha, KS 66757. A service will follow in Glenwood Springs,
CO, date yet to be determined.

Memorials can be sent to Mountain Valley Developmental Services, 700 Mt. Sopris
Dr., Glenwood Springs, CO 81601. mtnvalley.org
