Carol Trimmer has been a member of the horse industry her whole life.  A native Ohioan, Carol was introduced to the performance horse industry by her husband, Paul, whom she credits with getting her involved in Reining. Beginning her career at NRHA when the office was still located in Ohio, Carol originally worked as a filer, folder, and collator for the office. In 1998, Carol moved with the NRHA to the international headquarters in Oklahoma City, Okla. From there, she has worn just about every hat within the organization from running the NRHA Sire & Dam Program to working in Association Services. Carol found her niche within the organization working as production coordinator for the NRHA Reiner – a role which led to her becoming the Senior Director of Publications. For over 17 years, Carol Trimmer has worked for the NRHA and her dedication to the association embodies a Hall of Fame member.    

Congratulations to Rick Weaver and Carol Trimmer as they join others who have made a difference to the sport in the NRHA Hall of Fame!
