The National Reined Cow Horse Association welcomes Kimes Ranch Jeans as the newest title sponsor of the Western Derby. In addition to being the title sponsor, Kimes Ranch also will be recognized as the Official Outerwear and Cap of the NRCHA.

The Kimes Ranch Western Derby returns to WestWorld of Scottsdale, in Arizona, from May 31-June 10.

“The Kimes Ranch partnership with NRCHA is one rooted in our love for the cow horse and the entire NRCHA community. Our brand is based firmly in the tenets of family, hard work and integrity—values that we know run deep through the cow horse industry,” said Amanda Kimes, founder and vice president of Kimes Ranch. “All of us at Kimes Ranch are thrilled to be part of the NRCHA during such an exciting time in the Western industry. We look forward to hosting all the Kimes Ranch Western Derby competitors in our hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona, in June.”
