About Me

Tim McQuay has been a record-setter in the National Reining Horse Association for the past two decades. He was the first rider to ever earn over $2 million in reining competition. He has won every major National Reining Horse Association-sanctioned event at least once, including the NRHA Futurity, the National Reining Breeders Classic, the NRHA Derby, and the NRHA Superstakes. Tim qualified at least two horses for the NRHA Futurity finals each year from 1987 to 2000, and in ’94, ’95, ’96 and ‘05, he brought back all three. In 2000, he was inducted into the National Reining Horse Association Hall of Fame.

In 2002, he was a Gold medalist on Okie Dun Did It (owned by Monica Hicks) for Team USA at the Bayer/USET CRIO Nations Cup in Gladstone, NJ. In 2003, Tim won the $50,000 first-place check at the NRHA Derby on RR Star and the American Quarter Horse Association Senior Reining World Championship on Custom Red Berry. In 2006, the NRHA’s most successful rider earned Team Gold and Individual Silver medals at the FEI World Equestrian Games aboard Mister Nicadual.

McQuay is a five-time All American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity Champion, and a three-time Southwest Reining Horse Association Futurity Champion. Originally from Minnesota, Tim McQuay, his wife Colleen, and daughter Mandy moved to Tioga, TX, in 1989 and since then, McQuay Stables has made the north Texas town a focal point for the equine world. With a worldwide clientele, Tim frequently travels abroad, where he presents reining clinics and consults with horse owners and professionals.
