Bill Enk becomes National Reined Cow Horse Association Director of Judges

Enk, an NRCHA Judge for over 25 years, is also a National Cutting Horse Association, American Quarter Horse Association, American Paint Horse Association, USA Equestrian, and National Reining Horse Association judge.

He is enthusiastic about the new position. "I'm delighted to have the opportunity to try to give something back to the cow horse industry that's been a part of my life for so long," Enk commented.

His immediate goals for the NRCHA judging program include increasing the standards for and consistency of judging reined cow horses. "I want to work to develop a more consistent way of judging fence work, specifically, through seminars, creating training materials and working closely with the NRCHA Judges Committee."

He'll also provide leadership as the judge's monitor at major National Reined Cow Horse Association events, and coordinate protests, judges reviews and handle other administrative details.

"Mostly, the members of the Judges Committee and I will work toward creating a structure to get everyone on the same page as far as how reined cow horses are judged," Enk concluded.

The National Reined Cow Horse Association, the governing body of cow horse competition, is responsible for promoting the sport, insuring high standards of competition and educating members and the public about the history and tradition of the cow horse.
