The Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity is currently underway at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Center in Nevada. The event started with the derby competition and will progress through various limited-age event classes, the futurity, and a horse sale by the end of the week. Reined cow horse enthusiasts are excited to see which junior sire and open rider will shine at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Championship in October.
