NRHA Earnings & Katona History Information

Following his high school education ,Tim apprenticed with Shorty (OK) Russell in Texas, where he trained and successfully shown halter, cutting, reining and rope horses. Tim has won multiple State and World Championships, competing successfully in NRHA Futurities and Derbies and in 2005 captured 2 major Derby wins. 

In 1990 Tim took a  7 (seven) year break from horses and ran a successful Fishing Tackle retail business.  During that time, Katona Reining Horses was continued through Cindy, doing the training and showing for the farm.  His part time comeback in 1997 with homegrown Excessively White put Tim back in the horse business.  Since then Tim has amassed an amazing show record with such notable horses "Katona" trained horses as Rat L Trap Jac, Playboys Sugar Daddy, DA Jazzy Starlight to name a few.

 

Tim & Cindy work together in their training and showing program. Although their jobs vary back and forth, training the young stock and managing the Non Pros and their horses is Cindy's main job. 

 

Tim does the Finishing work on the reiners and the showing and helps Cindy with developing the style of horse he likes to represent in the show pen. 

 

With just a few broodmares in their barn, Tim & Cindy have produced quality reiners that have gone on to represent themselves in NRHA's Top Ten Program ( click here )

 

 Tim was one of the founding members of the Michigan Reining Horse Association and helped develop and implement the National Reining Horses Association Youth Program.  The first NRHA Judges clinic was held at his farm in Belleville, MI. 

Tim has served on the National Reining Horse Board of Directors, as well as the Michigan Reining Horse Association Board of Directors and had been a qualified NRHA Judge for many years. 

Cindy also has served on the MRHA Board of Directors, ran the successful Delta Classic reinings in Belleville, Michigan with Sandy McCaffery and Larry Hontz and held the position of MRHA Secretary for many years before handing the reins to current MRHA secretary Ruth Wentz.

Cindy started with horses working Hunter Jumpers until being introduced to Reiners in her late 20's. She started as a Rookie with MRHA and competed successfully in the Ladies and Limited Open classes, wining varies state titles in reining during her show career, including the Buckeye Arab Reining Championship  in Columbus, OH. 

She credits her accomplishments with having rode with such respected trainers as Matt Lantz, Marlin Holroyd, Francois Gauthier and of course her husband, Tim.  

"We are proud to have had over the years; numerous MRHA Rookie & Non Pro Champions, as well as having world champion reining horses, come out of our program.  "

We like to maintain a a small number of Non Pro riders and their horses but always have openings for new riders and horses at our farm.  Our Breeding Program includes DA Jazzy Starlight by Grays Starlight, and Playboys Sugar Daddy by Freckles Playboy, both Morrison and Lawson Trophy winners.
