Stacy Westfall

Her videos went viral on YouTube and have been viewed by millions. But you can see Stacy - and the extraordinary mare she calls “Roxy”- ride in person once again in the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic Slide Zone, Friday, Sept. 3 at Expo Square.

Spectators will also get the chance to meet the entire USEF Reining Team that will represent America at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Ky., at the end of September. And as always, the first 100 kids through the door will get a free, full-size Breyer model horse

Another “Slide Zone” favorite will be back this year - the Charity Slide Off, highlighting the hallmark maneuver of reining, the sliding stop.  Riders will compete to see who can slide the farthest to benefit Tulsa area charities, but this year there is a celebrity twist:  the three riders are all on local or national television: Kristin Dickerson of KTUL’s Good Day Tulsa, Christi Proctor from the TLC network hit Trading Spaces, and Jenifer Reynolds host of NRHA Inside Reining on In Country TV and Discover Oklahoma.

The “Slide Zone” will also continue the tradition of world-class “Freestyle” competition – reining maneuvers done to music and often with horse and rider in costume – and finally first class open competition for professional reiners.

Plus somebody in the audience will go home with a brand-new John Deere Gator!

The Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic – now in it’s seventh year – will once again offer classes in two climate controlled competition arenas, allowing two full slates of classes to run simultaneously with plenty of room for everyone.

Tickets can be purchased at any Drysdales location in Tulsa, by phone at 1-800-444-6481, or on line at www.okrha.com. They are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.
