The doors are flung wide open to the state-of-the-art OG&E Arena, the National Reining Horse Association invites you to be part of a legacy piece: a life-sized bronze Lawson Trophy sculpture that will stand proudly at the heart of this new landmark.

This isn’t just a statue. It is a celebration of the elegance, determination, and spirit of reining at its highest level. It is tribute to the horses, riders, and moments that have shaped NRHA—and a powerful welcome to the generations yet to come. 

The Lawson Trophy has represented the pinnacle of achievement in reining—a symbol of passion, partnership, and performance at the highest level.

Now, the National Reining Horse Association and the Reining Horse Foundation invite you to be part of a special moment in NRHA history: the installation of a bronze Lawson sculpture at the entrance of the OG&E Coliseum.

This permanent tribute will honor the athletes—both human and equine—who have shaped our sport. It will stand as a beacon of excellence and a warm welcome to every guest, competitor, and fan who enters our arena.

Your contribution to this project is more than a gesture.

It is a legacy—a way to preserve our heritage and inspire generations to come.

Join us in this meaningful endeavor.

Celebrate the spirit of reining with a gift that endures.
