Bill Horn
When Bill Horn won a 1965 run-off reining on Continental King in Dayton, Ohio, it inspired the creation of the National Reining Horse Association. There`s no way to know how many people he inspired to rein and get involved in the sport as a trainer, non-pro, owner and/or breeder, but we do know that every time Bill Horn showed a reining horse, he lit that fire.
The first NRHA Futurity was held in 1966. BH won the event four times: Mr Poco Luis (1967), Eternal One (1972), Aces Command (1981) and Spirit of Five (1987).
Bill earned the NRHA Futurity Reserve Championship six times: Miz Liz Dodson (1968), Glenda Echols (1971) Continental Charo (1973), Enterprise Velvet (1983), Trashadeous (1990) and Mifillena (1994).
From 1966 through and including 1996, Bill Horn took at least one of his Futurity horses to the finals. That didn`t change at the turn of the century. He brought 3-year-olds to the 2001 and 2002 finals and in 2005, at age 67, he brought one more.
Bill Horn was also a multiple NRHA Derby and Super Stakes Champion and he won three NRHA Open World Championships: Walkaway Rene in 1978, White Is in 1980 and Trashadeous in 1992.

Through the years, Bill Horn has generously given reiners numerous magical moments. One that reiners particularly remember took place in 1975. That`s when BH rode his beloved Miss White Trash and his brother Paul Horn`s Im Great Too in a run off for first place in the NRHA Open at the All American Quarter Horse Congress. Bill won the class on Im Great Too. He never knew how to give less than 110 percent in the show pen.
Bill was inducted into the NRHA Hall of fame in 1992. Through the years, 10 horses he rode or was associated with were also inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was named NRHA`s first Million Dollar Rider.
Bill Horn served on the NRHA board from 1966 through 1994. He was president of the association in 1977. He helped guide NRHA through its formative years to its present worldwide success.
Bill Horn was a modest, humble man. You never heard him boast of his accomplishments, but when you saw him show a reining horse, you knew you were watching the ultimate partnership between horse and rider.

Referred to by the media as both "Bill" and "Willie" (actually Hartack detested being called "Willie" because of his dislike for fellow jockey Willie Shoemaker) during his racing career, Hartack grew up on his widowed father`s farm in the Blacklick Township area of Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Small in stature, at age 17 he stood 5?ft. 4 in. (1.63 m) and weighed 111?lb (50?kg), a size that enabled him to pursue a career as a jockey in Thoroughbred horse racing. By his third season of racing, Hartack was the United States` leading jockey, going on to win that honor on three more occasions. He and Eddie Arcaro are the only two jockeys to ever win the Kentucky Derby five times. As well, Hartack won the Preakness Stakes three times and the Belmont Stakes once. He rode Tim Tam to victory in the 1958 Florida Derby but two weeks before the Kentucky Derby, Hartack broke a leg and had to give up his ride on Tim Tam, who won the race.
During his riding career between 1953 and 1974 in the United States, Hartack rode 4,272 winners in 21,535 mounts. From 1978 to 1980 he raced in Hong Kong, then retired in 1981. Hartack led the nation in races won four times, and was the first rider to have purse earnings of $3 million in a season.
After he retired as a jockey, Hartack worked off-and-on for the rest of his life as a steward for many racetracks.
Hartack made the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in 1956 and again in 1964, plus the cover of Time Magazine in 1958. He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1959 at the early age of 27.
In 1967, Hartack authored (with Whitney Tower) a three-part series in Sports Illustrated titled "A Hard Ride All The Way." Published in the March 27, April 3 & April 10 issues, the series chronicled Hartack`s life and included his often run-ins and disputes with owners, trainers, racing officials and members of the press.

On November 26, 2007, days before what would have been his 75th birthday, Hartack was found dead in a cabin at a camp near the town of Freer, Texas, in southern Texas, where he went each winter to hunt. The cabin was checked because he had not been seen by his friends since the previous day. He died from natural causes due to heart disease, according to the chief medical examiner in Webb County. [ 1 ]
The camp where Hartack was found is the property of the Thoroughbred owner Greg Goodman, a friend and client of Stidham`s. Stidham`s father George was Hartack’s agent at the end of the jockey`s career.
The Bill Hartack Charitable Foundation was established to honor a racing legend and icon, and to continue in his name contributions to the industry he dearly loved - Thoroughbred Racing. More information can be found at billhartackfoundation.com.
