Randy Paul 2023 NRCHA

Hall of Fame Inductee

The National Reined Cow Horse Association and the NRCHA Foundation once again honored inductees at the Hall of Fame Banquet. The event took place Saturday, March 25, at the South Point Hotel & Casino during the Teton Ridge Stallion Stakes. Four honorees were inducted to the Hall of Fame: Bill Enk, Smart Chic Olena, Kathy Wilson, and Randy Paul.

From an incredible show career to his artistic talents of bit making, Randy Paul of Sanger, California is an icon in the Western performance industry.

Paul began in the cow horse at a young age before going to work for NRCHA Hall of Fame trainer Don Doge and Gary Bellenfant. Throughout his career he has surpassed $500,000 in NRCHA earnings, and earned multiple AQHA World titles, an NRHA Million Dollar Rider and the title of World’s Greatest Horseman in 2010 aboard Smokeelan.

“The growth and success of the NRCHA is largely due to contributions and passion our members have,” Emily Konkel, manager of operations, said. “Each of these inductees have had a significant impact on our association and we are proud to recognize them in this year’s induction class. We look forward to celebrating Bill Enk, Smart Chic Olena, Kathy Wilson and Randy Paul into the NRCHA Hall of Fame. The NRCHA is honored to be a part of their legacy.”
