The RTR is proudly owned and operated by Elaine.
All shows hosted by the Riata Thoroughbred Registry are held at Phoenician Stud.

The mission of the RTR is to provide one of the most popular breeds in Riata, the Thoroughbred, a place to compete against each other and to earn a reputation for itself against its peers. The registry's main functions include monthly shows for sporting thoroughbreds and annual or bi-annual gradings, and RTR accepts both pure and half thoroughbreds.

The RTR holds monthly shows to enable the Thoroughbreds in Riata to test themselves against others of the same breed. Points will be tabulated throughout the year to determine year end awards.

Inspections are held either annually or bi-annually, depending on the amount of interest provided. This is an excellent opportunity for owners to grade their horses for entry into the studbook.

Owned by Elaine since mid-2005, the RTR has exchanged hands a slight bit due to time restrictions, which ultimately led it to inactiveness. However, since the reclamation and rejuvination of the RTR in December 2007, many new plans have been made to make the RTR bigger, better, and caters more to the Thoroughbred population and the owners. New features that have been implemented since are a bi-monthlyl newsletter featuring a horse and owner, RTR news, contestsetc. Also, the plans for a classified studbook for both breeding mares and stallions are underway, in the hopes that the Thoroughbred community will have easy and convinient acces to the TB breeding aspect of Riata. The RTR also recently became the governing body of steeplechasing in Riata, seeing the opening of the RTR Steeplechasing Spciety, a sub-division of the main association.
