Youth reiners headed to the 6666 NRHA Derby Presented by Markel have a chance to sharpen a skill that sets great riders apart—their mindset.

If you are working to enhance your reining, performance Coach Gil Friedman of Mental Athletics has a special invitation. Attend his free NRHyA Seminar on Friday, June 19 at 2:00 p.m. in the Bennett Event Center on the OKC Fairgrounds at 3101 Gordon Cooper Boulevard. Level up your mental game on your way to achieving peak performance.

“Your mindset can be your greatest advantage in the arena,” Friedman said. “When you learn how to train it, everything else gets stronger.”

Open to all ages—including the young at heart—this session is designed to be engaging, actionable, and easy to apply right away. Learn practical tools to stay focused, manage pressure, and ride with confidence when it counts.

Whether you’re new to reining or chasing your next level, don’t miss this opportunity to build your mindset. Admission is free. Guests are also invited to visit the trade show while at the Bennett Event Center.
