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 to more limited-age event classes, the futurity, and a horse sale at the end of the week.
Reined cow horse enthusiasts are excited to see the new crop of futurity horses and anticipate which junior sire will stand out. They are also eager to see which open rider will emerge victorious at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Championship in October.
Here’s a brief overview of the event and the schedule for 2026, with results to be announced shortly.
