RED HOLLY TIME RULES RUNOFF

The Non Pro Hackamore Classic came down to a runoff between two tough competitors.

Myles Brown always knew Red Holly Time had talent, and the horse proved it by winning the NRCHA Hackamore Classic Non Pro. It was their last run together, as the horse was slated to sell in the Western Bloodstock Sale later in the week. During the Non Pro section of the National Reined Cow Horse Association Hackamore Classic, presented by Oswood Stallion Station and held at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity®, nearly 50 Non Pros went head-to-head to compete for the title. The herd work portion was up first, held October 14, with the rein and cow work wrapping up two days later.

When the dust settled, two competitors finished with matching composite and cow work scores. A runoff was called, and after one more run down the fence, Myles Brown was named the Hackamore Classic Non Pro Champion.

Brown, on Red Holly Time (Hickory Holly Time x Very Red Remedy x Very Smart Remedy), scored a composite 648.5 (H:215.5/R:216/C:217) during his initial herd, rein and cow works. He was happy with how his horse worked and landing at the top of the pack.

“I was really pleased to get through the herd work clean. It was a tough set of cattle,” Brown said. “In the reining, I tried to run for it. I maybe

didn’t get him shown as good as I have in the past, but he tried hard and hopefully looked good. Down the fence, I had just a little miss on my second turn and kind of had to do a little staying alive in the circling. I was pleased to get through it and to show my horse.”

But Debbie Crafton, on Dualin Alittle Time (One Time Pepto x ARC Little Dualena x Dual Pep), had matched their composite with her own 648.5 (H:212/ R:219.5/C:217). Brown and Crafton agreed to a runoff, going down the fence a second time in the original order. Crafton marked a 216, then it was Brown’s turn.

“I got pretty nervous there for a little bit, so I went and got on my bridle horse that I’m showing tonight and trotted him around,” Brown said. “It helped me settle down and take my mind off it. I know he [Red Holly Time] can be good, and I

NON PRO RESERVE CHAMPION

After a runoff where they scored a 216, Debbie Crafton and Dualin Alittle Time, a 2016 stallion bred by Arcese Quarter Horses USA, took home Reserve and a check worth $4,204.98. The pair scored a 648.5 (H:212/R:219.5/C:217).

INTERMEDIATE NON PRO & NOVICE NON PRO CHAMPION

Emily Kent rode On The Reydio (Reydioactive x Bewitching Ichi x Cat Ichi), a 4-yearold gelding, to win two titles with a composite 644.5 (H:215/R:215.5/C:214). For the Intermediate, she and the gelding banked $2,021.63, plus another $1,010.81 from the Novice. The gelding was bred by EE Ranches Inc. and is owned by Kent.

INTERMEDIATE NON PRO & NOVICE NON PRO RESERVE CHAMPION

Taking Reserve in both divisions was Kristy Kay Miller on Glamour Royallty (One Time Royalty x Kitna Rey x Dual Rey), a 2016 mare bred by Scott Murdock. Miller scored a 641 (H:208/R:214.5/C:218.5) and collected $1,617.30 from the Intermediate and $808.65 from the Novice.

know he craves a cow and wants to circle a cow really nice, so I just decided we were going to go do the best we could.”

The pair was called off their first cow, which allowed Brown to gather himself up mentally. The next cow that came out was more “user-friendly.”

“I was a little more delicate about getting into that cow’s brain and getting him comfortable with me up next to him instead of scaring him,” Brown said. “When I go to trying to create stuff it never works, so I just have to do my best and see what happens. With that second cow, I finally got my wits about me and let that happen.”

After the horn blew, the announcer called a score of 223.5, and Brown and Red Holly Time won the championship, banking $5,500. It was a great note for the pair to end on, as Brown had entered the 2017 stallion, who was bred by Sheri Jamieson, in the Western Bloodstock Sale on Friday, October 22.

“For this horse to win this, it’s really special to my wife and I,” Brown said. “He’s 4 and I had some success on him as a 3-year-old, but I never felt like I had as much success as I should have on him because of how talented he is. It really couldn’t end a better way. It’s always hard to sell the good ones, but we own his mother and there’s more coming. We’re really excited about the future.”

Crafton and Dualin Alittle Time took home the Reserve Champion title and a check worth $4,204.98. Crafton also placed third with Twice In A Blu Moon (Once In A Blu Boon x Teletrona x Little Trona) and fourth with Hesa Wee Bet (Bet Hesa Cat x Wee Quejana Gal x Quejanaisalena), collecting an additional $3,416.55 and $2,890.92, respectively.

AMATEUR CHAMPION

The Amateur Championship went to Tylor Todd and Voodoo Whiskey (Shiners Voodoo Dr x Whiskey On Wheels x Paddys Irish Whiskey), who scored a composite 639 (H:206/ R:213/C:220). Todd and the 4-year-old gelding, who was bred by Ricky Dusin, collected $2,241.

AMATEUR RESERVE CHAMPION

William Akin and SJR Starlit Rey (Dual Rey x A Starlit Diamond x CD Lights) won the Amateur Reserve Champion with their composite 632 (H:210/R:198.5/C:223.5), banking $1,792.80. San Juan Ranch bred the 5-year-old gelding.

NON PRO LIMITED CHAMPION

With a 642 (H:208/R:218/C:216), Lori Frampton-Crafton and Hughes This Chic (Thomas E Hughes x Smart Playing Chic x Smart Chic Olena) won the Non Pro Limited and a check worth $2,812.50. The 2017 mare, bred by Liz Arment, is owned by Frampton-Crafton.

NON PRO LIMITED RESERVE CHAMPION

Cheryl Chown rode Xtra Short Trick (Shiners Voodoo Dr x Short And Royal x Short Oak) to a 638 (H:210/R:213.5/C:214.5) for the Reserve Championship. She and the homebred 2016 mare, who is owned by her and her husband, Robert, banked $2,250.
