YOUTH CONNECTION Hi Everyone!

I’m Gracie Correll from way up north in Nebraska, and I am your new NYCHA Reporter. I am 17 years old and have been cutting for about 12 years now. I’m super excited to help keep you “in the know” about what’s going on every month! First, I want to thank this year’s Summer Spectacular Scholarship Cutting title sponsor, Switch House Ranch, and Youth World Finals sponsor, High Brow CD. Thank you to all the other sponsors and everyone who helped pull this year’s NYCHA youth week together. You did an outstanding job, like always, and it’s greatly appreciated! Finally, a big shout out to all of the outgoing NYCHA officers, Kenli Marvin, Colt Moore, Mattie Dukes, Madison Melasky and Jencee Jarvis, for everything you did this past year. Now for some highlights from our NYCHA youth week! This year we enjoyed an entertaining family fun night, an educational leadership session, making new friends, a little bit of dancing, watching a whole lot of really good cutting runs and relaxing in the air conditioning! The new officers were introduced. They are: Gianna Pietrafeso, president; Jessica Pietrafeso, first vice president; Chaser Crouch, second vice president; Madison Melasky, secretary/treasurer; and me, reporter. I think all of us would agree that we’re looking forward to sharing our ideas with you and setting them in motion. Congratulations to all the participants, Scholarship finalists and World finalists on your accomplishments! Y’all worked very hard! Special appreciation is given to the parents, haulers and help in the cutting pen – it takes a village! Here’s to good cattle, good scores and good friends,

NYCHA Says YES to Leadership

Wow, and just like that another summer has flashed before my eyes! From starting my first job to traveling all over the country for horse shows, this summer has been the best yet, I must say. I was very blessed that the NYCHA selected me and several of my dearest friends (all NYCHA Officers and Area Directors) to go to the American Quarter Horse Youth Association’s Youth Excellence Seminar (YES) in Amarillo, Texas. While at the YES, the “NYCHA Kids” branched out to meet different affiliates and learn more to benefit our organization. We learned how they run their meetings in a mannerly fashion and how they campaign for multiple days to earn or win the positions they will fill. In addition to learning the business side of things, we learned how they reach out to kids using different techniques and also the struggles that they face, as well. My favorite part of the whole trip was going to their local food shelter, where we packed more than 1,500 food bags for Snack Pak 4 Kids. The bags were passed out to kids in Amarillo that week; it was such an eye-opening experience for me! All in all, I would like to say thank you to NYCHA and Cutting Horse Central for making this whole trip possible, and thank you for all you do throughout the year for the youth kids. You will never truly know the impact this has on us! P.S. And thank you to the chaperones for all you did for us crazy kids!

LEAP stands for

Levels of Excellence Award Program. LEAP is a “levels” program created in 1994 that allows youth members to accumulate LEAP points throughout their Youth career, earning awards and recognition as they climb the ladder of success. LEAP points are earned through participation in NYCHA in many categories such as attending workshops; promoting the sport of cutting by writing a newspaper article or giving a speech; or helping with fundraisers. Youth also earn points based on their performance in the cutting arena. The program was designed to recognize youth in the cutting horse family for participation in youth activities even if they were not showing cutting horses.

LEAP Awards LEAP awards are given for: Initial (1,000 points), Bronze (2,500 points), Silver (5,000 points), Gold (7,500 points), Platinum (10,000 points) and Diamond (15,000 points). These awards are presented individually to the youth during their NYCHA Awards Banquet held at the Summer Cutting Spectacular in Fort Worth, Texas, usually in July. A six-year old member could potentially reach the first level of accomplishment (1,000 pts.) and accept a LEAP award without ever competing in the cutting arena.

Why is it important to participate in LEAP? It is now mandatory for a youth to participate in LEAP in order to reach the NYCHA Hall of Fame. But more than that, LEAP gives all youth members a way to be recognized for their participation in the NCHA’s youth organization. It gives youth from all levels of experience and ability a chance to reach the NYCHA Hall of Fame by participating in many activities. LEAP points will also play an important role in selecting the recipients of the NYCHA Scholarships. Applicants for these $5,000 scholarships must turn in a current year’s LEAP form as well as list their total LEAP points earned.

How can I participate in LEAP and what are the age requirements? To participate in LEAP, a youth must first become a member of NYCHA. Dues for NYCHA are currently either $25/year, Chatter not included and $60/year, Chatter included. Youth may join NYCHA at any time during the year by filling out the membership form found in the Chatter magazine or on the NCHA website, www.nchacutting.com. To participate in LEAP, the youth member simply needs to fill out and submit a LEAP form each year. Youth may participate in LEAP when they reach three years of age.

How do I get my LEAP form? LEAP forms are available in the Chatter Magazine as well as on the NYCHA website, http:// www.nchacutting.com/youth/youth-forms. LEAP forms should be completed and returned to the NYCHA Youth Coordinator at the NCHA office, 260 Bailey Avenue, Ft Worth, TX 76107 no later than September 30 each year. 47

NYCHA members treated to Hall of Fame advice at free Cutting Horse Central clinic. Article and photos by Jennifer K. Hancock

o kick off Youth Week at the NCHA Summer Spectacular, Cutting Horse Central teamed with the National Youth Cutting Horse Association to provide a free clinic with Hall of Fame Riders Lindy Burch and Phil Rapp. The July 24 youth clinic was sponsored by Chris and Staci Thibodeaux’s High Brow CD, Standlee Forage, Bubba Matlock’s Matlock Performance Horses and Pro Cutter. The second annual event began with Mark Michels of Cutting Horse Central welcoming the attendees. “We’re hoping that you can learn something that will help you show this week and help you win as much money as you can,” Michels said. Burch, who has NCHA lifetime earnings of more than $3.8 million, and Rapp, who has NCHA lifetime earnings of more than $8.9 million, offered tips to help youth riders improve, but the advice applied to cutters on all levels. “The most important thing about showing a horse is being prepared,” Burch said. “What I want to do is show my horse to the best of his or her ability and try to get the highest score possible and make that judge want to mark me. You’ve got to make your horse look good on a bad cow as well as a good cow. It’s important to be prepared.” Rapp compared showing a cutting horse to painting. “We are artists, we are showmen and we are salesmen,” Rapp said. “I like to think of going to the herd as a blank

canvas, and you have two and a half minutes to see what you are going to put on that canvas.” Both Burch and Rapp reminded attendees that judges want to give high scores, but it is the rider’s responsibility to put their horse in the position to be successful and paint the masterpiece - a winning run. “You’ve got to understand that the judges want to be positive and want to mark a high score, but circumstances don’t allow that sometimes,” Rapp said. “Understand that the judge has no idea what you are looking at cutting or what you’re going to do. It’s a blank canvas. You need to go in there to show your horse and do the best job that you can.”

Make it Positive

“I don’t want to give that judge a reason not to mark me, so I want everything to be positive when I show,” Burch explained. “You’ve got two and a half minutes to show. I start showing my horse the minute that judge can see me.” The judging starts once you cross the time line, but Burch advised to be ready and look professional as soon as you are in view of the judges. “I want to have loose bridle reins as I ride down there, and I want to look like I’m all business,” Burch said. “I don’t want to be in front of the judge jerking my horse, spurring in the shoulder or doing something negative. I don’t want the judges to have a negative idea even cross their minds. Everything is positive. When I ride by, I’m all business, my hand’s on the horn, and I’m looking for the cattle that I’m going to cut.” When you cross the time line, the judging begins. “Your score is at a 70 when you pass that line,” Rapp said. “Your score is not at a 70 when you put your hand down. You are at a 70 when you pass the time line. It’s up to you from there. At that first cut, you could already be at a 67 if you make a really rough first cut, or you can be at a 71. It’s up to you. That first cut is so important.” After decades of competition, Rapp said he’s only had a handful of runs that he’d consider to be almost perfect. “Most of the time, you are making adjustments,” he said. “I know there has been one horse mark an 80, and our high score in the five-judge system is a 234 so there’s a lot of room for improvement past that. We’ve always got to make adjustments. It’s the judge’s obligation to watch what you are doing. It’s your duty to go in there and to show your horse to the best of your ability.”

To set up a successful run, Hall of Fame Rider Lindy Burch emphasized controlling your first cut by driving a cow out of the herd. 48

Drive Home the Victory

“I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to drive a cow out of the herd,” Burch said. “Good things happen when you do, and bad things happen when you don’t. Keep driving. Drive the cow away from the herd.” When setting up your cut, Burch recommended making sure the cow you are looking to cut is in the group you are pushing away from the herd. How the cow acts while you are moving away from the herd will give you a clue as to how the cow might act once it is cut. “If it doesn’t want to go, it’s probably not going to be a good cut,” Burch said. “Let it go. Cut something else that wants to stay there and wants to be cut. Make that first cut positive while you’ve got the reins in your hand. That’s something that you can control.” Stepping to the cow is one way to help make a clean cut. “If I don’t keep stepping to my cow and control that flow then my help can’t clear me,” Burch explained. “You’ve seen 100 times someone start to drive and the cattle are about to clear when all of a sudden they go, ‘Oh, gosh, I’m getting worried.’ They don’t want to go out too far, and they start backing up. All that does is bring all that traffic back to you. Pretty soon, your herd holders are trying to help you get cut.” When the herd help steps in to rescue your cut, you risk exciting your target cow. “That cow that might have been real good is now at a dead run,” Burch said. “Now your run is in the negative hole instead of the positive. If you would have kept moving your cow and moved past those cows, then your help can clear you. You’re not a victim of that cut – you’re the captain of your ship.” Burch and Rapp encouraged participants to make their first 30 seconds count. “That judge is ready to give you credit for that first 30 seconds,” Burch said. “Your first 30 seconds are going to set the tone for your entire run and whether it’s going to be a winning run or if it’s going to be a negative run.”

During Youth Week at the Summer Spectacular, NYCHA members got tips of the trade from trainers Lindy Burch and Phil Rapp. 50

Clinician Phil Rapp, who has NCHA lifetime earnings of more than $8.9 million, advised NYCHA competitors to treat each run as a blank canvas to create a winning piece of art.

Don’t Give Up

Even if things don’t go as planned in your run, don’t let the judge see your frustration. “If something goes wrong, do not let the judge know what you are feeling,” Rapp said. “Keep showing your horse because you have no idea how that judge is interpreting what you are doing.” Rapp said if your first cut doesn’t go the way you want it to, work to build the run and continue to improve. But don’t ruin your entire run by trying to be overly aggressive. “Take little steps to get back,” he said. “Don’t try to get it back all at one time. Make subtle adjustments as you are showing your horse. When you quit your cow – even if you had a really bad cow – just tag off. If it was a soft cow, just go and cut another cow. Always try to improve your run and try to make it better. “Try to let that judge think that you are happy with everything that is going on at all times,” Rapp continued. “Sometimes we get to where we want to impress our help or our friends more than we want to impress the judge. Our only duty is to impress the judge and to try to get the best score out of that judge that we can. Always try to keep it positive.” Burch agreed. “Never, never, ever give up,” Burch said. “When you’re cutting, you may think that you can’t hold that cow, but stay inside and try to hold it and try to keep a positive look about your body and your face. When you can quit that cow, quit it, but don’t quit riding until you get that cow in a position that you can quit it with a clean quit and not a hot quit. Even though you may be breathless, don’t look like it. Tell that judge with your body language, ‘I can hold that cow all day.’” T T ER • SEP T E M BER 2017

Learn by Observation

Burch encouraged young cutters to continue learning every day. As the first woman to win the NCHA Futurity, she told the audience how, early in her show career, paying for college didn’t allow any extra funds for lessons and she didn’t have time to work for a trainer to learn the trade. Burch came up with a successful solution – observe winners. “You can learn by watching,” Burch said. “That’s how I learned. You watch what you want to do, and you can see the things that you don’t want to do. Watch those good showmen whether it’s in the Open, the Non-Pro or the Youth. See what makes their runs positive and a run that the judge wants to mark. “We want to emulate winners,” she continued. “You’re going to keep growing. I learn something every day, whether I’m working at home or showing. That’s really an important thing for everybody to aspire to. Nobody’s perfect – not any of us. The only thing that we can do is try to control all of the variables that are involved with cutting and keep getting better.” Burch said she consistently sees winners control their cuts, control their cows and make positive cuts by driving a cow out of the herd. “It’s not just about riding out 35 feet and putting your hand down,” Burch said. “There are other things that go along with that. You want that cow to get a hold of you – feel you – and you want to be able to help your help to help you. The way that you can do that is to make a good cut. If you will sit there in that other pen and watch the winner, inevitably that’s what happens. That’s what makes those cows they cut good. Buster Welch’s saying, ‘A bad cow cut good is better than a good cow cut bad’ – there’s nothing truer than that. “If you have the mindset that you’re going to cut that yellow mott no matter what and she’s underneath all those

other cattle and you’re holding there waiting for your help to clear you, it’s probably not going to be very good,” Burch explained. “If you take that yellow mott and you put her in a spot where you can drive her past those other cows, then we can help clear you, you can drop your hand in the center of the pen, and you’ve already set that painting. You set the picture for the judge, he’s thinking this is going to be a really good run.” Following the advice of the two Hall of Fame cutting artists will help any competitor create a masterpiece the next time they step to the herd. ★

Origins of a legend

In a North-by-Northwest Texas riddled with legends of notorious badmen – similar long-term-survival accounts persist about Billy the Kid and presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth – the tale of Jesse James stands out as an exercise in speculative fascination. Jesse Woodson James was born in Kearney, Missouri, in 1847. His Baptist-preacher father, Robert James, died when Jesse was 4 years old. Jesse’s mother, Zerelda Dalton James, remarried twice. The third family’s mistreatment by Union soldiers in 1863, appears to have turned Jesse and an older brother, Frank James, to crime. Confederate Army service taught the brothers to kill. For nearly 20 years following the Civil War, the James brothers ranged widely as bandits. Meanwhile, they persisted at pursuing a vaguely normal existence as homeand-family men – but the crucible of outlawry exerted the stronger force. A bombing in Kearny, Missouri, by the Pinkerton Detective Agency took a particularly heavy toll, maiming the James brothers’ mother and mortally injuring

Jesse’s half-brother, Archie Samuel. A James-gang robbery attempt in 1876 at Northfield, Minnesota, provoked such retaliation that only Frank and Jesse escaped intact. Now saddled with a dead-or-alive bounty, Jesse moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1881, assuming an identity as Thomas Howard. Turncoat brothers Robert and Charles Ford, recruited to help with a comeback heist, used the connection to bring Jesse James within firing range. Formal history and a great deal of folklore document their success, but the overriding legend supposes that Jesse James was too wily a fox to let himself be brought down by a cowards’ ambush. After all, the outlaw had developed aliases and rehearsed attempts to fake his own death as early as the 1870s – and how better to ditch one’s pursuers? The formal history finds Jesse James buried since 1882 at Kearney, Missouri. The testimony of the late Oran C. Baker cites a 1951 death and burial at Granbury. A similarly tantalizing account finds Jesse James dwelling since 1871, off and on, in Texas, siring a line of offspring that extended to great-grandchildren, and laid to rest at Blevins under the name of James L. Courtney. The enigma is perhaps best regarded in light of a cryptic saying popular among scholars who attempt to reconcile the strictness of history with the wild meanderings of folklore: “All the versions are true – if you know all the versions.” ★

Remembering Modine Smith

odine Smith, 94, Grass Valley, California, passed away July 22. Smith, along with her late husband, Ed Smith, selflessly committed herself to the betterment and promotion of cutting for nearly five decades. The Smiths held Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association shows at their ranch in Escalon, California, where Ed mentored many riders, including future National Cutting Horse Association Futurity champions Lindy Burch and Leon Harrel. After Ed passed away in 1979, Smith continued to champion cutting on the local and national level. She served on the Executive Committees of both the NCHA and the PCCHA and was inducted into the Halls of Fame of both organizations. NCHA created the Modine Smith Humanitarian Award in her honor, of which she was the first recipient. She was also a recipient of the PCCHA Ed Smith Memorial Sportsmanship Award. Some of the innovations Smith worked with others to realize for the PCCHA have become standards for NCHA, including the dedicated practice pen, adjusted monitor system for judges, and one of her favorite pet projects, the PCCHA Gelding Incentive Program. Smith is survived by children John Michael Biggs, Patricia (Biggs) Leach and Laura (Smith) Vaughn; sons-inlaw Steve Leach and Frank Vaughn; as well as eight grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren. Celebration of life services are being planned during the PCCHA Futurity, which will take place October 6-13 in Las Vegas, and the NCHA Futurity, which will take place November 15-December 10 in Fort Worth, Texas. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations on Smith’s behalf to the PCCHA Youth Scholarship Program or NCHA Foundation.

Cutting Returns to the Empire State

or the first time in more than a decade, New York riders had an opportunity to compete in a National Cutting Horse Association-sanctioned event in their home state. The NCHA Challenger Series was held July 8-9 in Fulton, New York, at Carousel Farms and was managed by Upstate Cow Horse Production. This was the first NCHA Challenger Series in New York. The event featured some of the largest classes of any NCHA show produced in the Northeast and offered a $2,000 Limit Rider Class. A total of 63 entries participated in the competition, which paid out more than $1,100. Ray Dart from Smethport, Pennsylvania, secured the NCHA $2,000 Limit Rider Circuit Championship with a second-place finish on July 8 and a win on July 9. The accomPHOTO CREDIT: Hill Top Photography

plishment was an emotional one for Dart and his family. Earlier this year, Dart was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer; the prognosis wasn’t good. He has an aggressive cancer that spreads quickly. Armed with a Cutting Horse Chatter, his family, daughter-in-law Katie Dart and son John, helped Ray plan his return to the show arena, which provided him with motivation. His return to the pen not only resulted in success for Ray, but also for Katie, also of Smethport. She secured the NonPro Co-Championship after tying with Tammy Schmidt of Lyons, New York. Ray also watched his 6-year-old granddaughter, Lanie Dart, win the Walk-Trot class, after which she proclaimed her eagerness to commit to showing in Youth Cutting in the near future. The Dart family members are extremely grateful for all the friends they have made over the past 10 years showing cutting horses and feel as though those friends have become family. The Darts are looking forward to many more memories being made. Katie expressed thanks to the NCHA and all the affiliates that are bringing cutting events closer to home. Gay Chex Gal (Little Gallito x Miss Jax Daniel x Jax Doc), an 18-year-old reined cow horse mare owned by Amber Roberts, secured the NCHA Open Circuit Championship. Upstate Cow Horse Productions produced the show as part of a larger effort to connect cattle, working cow horse and ranch horse versatility clubs from around the state. The event gave 12 individuals the opportunity to try the sport of cutting. Toddy Pitard served as the judge for the event. Pitard and NCHA Director of Judges Russell McCord presented a mini clinic that included tips on how to improve scores.

A Note of Thanks

Tim Partridge rode Blackjack Beretta at the NCHA Challenger Series at Carousel Farms in New York. The event gave many cutters the opportunity to compete close to home for the first time in a decade.

For a little over 10 years, our family has been on our cutting adventure. We began showing at cutting shows when I married Ray’s son, John. Ray had ridden and shown horses for as long as I can remember, and I was lucky to have horses to show my entire life. We had both shown in pleasure, games, reining and team penning, but we had never shown cutting horses. Then one day, we decided we were going to go cutting. Since Pennsylvania isn’t exactly a hot bed for cutting T T ER • SEP T E M BER 2017

horse action; we have had to learn along the way and haul pretty far out of state to show our horses. Riding at NCHA shows has been an amazing experience for our family. We feel the friends we make at cutting shows have become part of our family. Everyone at the shows has been so kind and helpful. Earlier this year, we were so thankful for the support of our friends and family as Ray was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. He, unfortunately, has a very rare and aggressive cancer that spread rapidly. In one of the visits to the hospital, Ray was in the intensive care unit, and the prognosis was not looking good. We brought him a Cutting Horse Chatter magazine and it wasn’t long before he was looking up shows that he thought he would be better in time to haul to. It took over a year, rounds of chemo treatments, surgeries and recovery before he became well enough to ride again. The lure of his horse and going cutting was an incredible motivation for him to get better. This was the first show that he was able to show in since his diagnosis and treatments began. The entire experience we had at the NCHA Challenger Series show in Fulton, New York, was incredible. Since we didn’t have to travel as far as usual, we were able to bring our whole family. The beautiful facility and wonderful show staff made this show an incredible experience. Over the weekend, we enjoyed cutting on good cows,

and receiving valuable feedback from NCHA judge Toddy Pitard was invaluable. Additionally, a variety of wonderful awards and prizes were available to riders after the results were tabulated. Ray, my daughter Lanie (6), and I showed my horse Lil Orphan Dually (Lucky) over the weekend, and we were blessed to have such great success. Watching Ray ride into the ring was an emotional victory, since a year ago we were not sure that showing a cutting horse would even be possible. Then winning the $2,000 Limit Rider trophy for the weekend was an unexpected gift. I showed Lucky in the Non-Pro and was co-champion, as well as the overall high point rider. Lanie showed Lucky in her first cutting show in the walk-trot class. She piloted Lucky to a win on Saturday and a second-place on Sunday. After this opportunity, she is determined to keep riding cutting horses and cut in a “big girl class” next time. Her little sister, Halle (4), is right on her heels, looking forward to having her chance to cut a cow. We are so grateful for all the hard work of the NCHA and affiliates for bringing NCHA events closer to home for us, and everyone else in this part of the country that loves the sport. We are looking forward to continuing to see the sport grow and show in more contests closer to home. ★ Katie Dart

Tina is one of my favorite horses I've ever trained because she always wants to do the right thing. Her strength is that she reads a cow so well, like a horse that has a lot more experience. It's like she has an old soul. When she gets a hold of a cow, she lets it all hang out. That's the difference between being a good horse, and being a great one. She is such a big, strong mare, I am particular about her diet so she stays in shape, and is able to be as athletic as she needs to be. Platinum gives her so many important nutrients in just one scoop, and she loves the taste of it!

More than history, we are Texas Heritage. You might think after 94 years of making handcrafted, custom boots, we would have taken a few shortcuts. On the contrary, we still make our boots in the same time-honored way M.L. did when he ﬁrst began as a young, energetic Texan in the 1920s. He set a standard of quality that just can’t be matched in any other way. Alongside our boots, we also have the most impressive selection of men’s and women’s fashions, jewelry, belts, buckles, hats, accessories, and tailored clothing anywhere in the Western world. We invite you to come in for a visit, and we’ll show you the passion that goes into every pair of Leddy’s custom, handmade boots.

Cutting horse author, historian and statistician Sally Harrison combed through the results for the Chatter, and came up with some interesting numbers. Five hundred thirty-four mares saw their babies win Triple Crown

checks, as did 89 stallions. Three hundred forty-five breeders shared in the bounty, as did 430 distinct owners. Michelle Cannon topped the Triple Crown breeders with $320,196. Her contingent was led by NCHA Derby champion Sir Long Legs, along with Two Time Dual, Little Sadie Rey and Paint Me A Rey.

Four hundred sixty-six riders in all divisions collected at least one paycheck. Ty Moore was the top-ranked Non-Pro with $102,772 in Triple Crown earnings. Metallic Cat was the leading sire of the Triple Crown shows with $2,022,976.★

took him to the Mercuria at Vegas, and now we’re right there in the thick of it. “We bought the horse when he was a 5-year-old. Roger Wagner originally trained him. Stacie had a lot of success on him in the Non-Pro,” Allen continued of QB Cat, who has carried Stacie McDavid to the Non-Pro finals of eight major limited age events while banking more than $144,000. “After his aged event career, the kids rode him, Stacie showed, and he had some time off. I just sort of fell into showing him, and now we’re hauling him for the World Finals.” Allen said going to Calgary was a dream when he was younger. “I always wanted to go watch,” Allen said. “When the opportunity to compete came, I jumped at it. Without the continuing support of David and Stacie, this would not have been possible. It was a bit of a challenge to get it all put together, but Dustin [Gonnet] helped us a lot. He helped me get everything organized and taken care of. We stayed at his place so that was real nice.” The experience exceeded Allen’s expectations. “I’m just so excited about the whole deal,” he said. “The atmosphere is just pretty cool. It’s packed and the crowd really gets into it. I just wanted to make the finals, so this was a thrill.” Allen said in spite of the tough competition, he had

lint Allen flipped his second-place finish in the first go into the winning spot in the finals of the Mercuria NCHA Calgary Stampede Open World Series of Cutting. QB Cat, owned by Stacie and David McDavid, scored 225 points to win the Mercuria, which was held in conjunction with the Calgary Stampede in Alberta, Canada. A 9-year-old gelding by High Brow Cat and out of the Mecom Blue mare Quintan Blue, QB Cat is currently ranked fifth in the NCHA World Championship Open standings. Allen, an NCHA Hall of Fame rider, has earnings of more than $4.4 million. Adding more than $13,000 to his 2017 earnings for the win, Allen and his mount made the run for the Open World standings a bit more interesting. “It’s unlikely that we could catch the top two at this point,” said Allen of Weatherford, Texas. “But we’re determined to keep carrying on and see how the rest of the year goes for us. We’re having lots of fun with it for now.” With Calgary the fifth stop in the eight-leg Mercuria NCHA World Series of Cutting, Allen knew it would be an important show to get to. “This year we started off with another mare, but she got hurt after about the first month,” Allen explained. “We went on to the Cotton Stakes, and I took ‘QB’ to practice on. I showed him and won like $4,000 on him. So we

Clint Allen and QB Cat, who is owned by Stacie and David McDavid, marked 225 to win the NCHA Calgary Stampede Open World Series of Cutting. 132

With a 220.5, Shannon Lamb and Rue Du Ichi won the Mercuria NCHA World Series of Cutting Non-Pro at the Calgary Stampede.

a good feeling about his chances as he walked into herd from the ninth draw. Still, his late draw didn’t allow him the luxury of plentiful cattle choices. “It was a process of elimination, once you get down there that deep. I ended up with the one cow that I wasn’t sure of. I took a chance on that one, and that last cow made the run,” Allen explained. “QB has a big heart and gives it all he’s got. He’s got a lot of eye appeal, he wants to be really good, and he gets down low on the ground. He’s really quick to get across the ground. “I knew it would be tough to get around Tatum [Rice], since he had the high score in the go-round,” Allen added. “But we gave it everything we had. I asked QB for everything he had, and I came out on top. It was pretty amazing. I had great help even though all of us were competing against each other. I had Darren Simpkins, Dustin Gonnet, Tatum Rice and Brent Erickson out there helping me – it doesn’t get much better than that.” Rice and Eazee E’s score of 224 held for the reserve championship. Owned by Kevin and Sandy Knight, Eazee E (High Brow Cat x Zee Dualy x Dual Pep) earned $9,553. Perhaps the most special part of the Calgary trip for Allen was the connection it gave him to his late father. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” Allen said. “My dad went there when I lived in New Zealand. I remember watching the films. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s one of my most special wins. My father passed away, and this show holds some attachment for me. Going there and winning it has a lot of sentimental value for me.” 134

Non-Pro With just a half-point separating the top three riders in the class, Shannon Lamb of Boerne, Texas, won the Mercuria NCHA World Series of Cutting Non-Pro at the Calgary Stampede on Rue Du Ichi (Cat Ichi x Snicker Roo x SR Instant Choice). In the finals, Lamb and her 2009 gelding edged out the tough 10-horse field with a score of 220.5. The win resulted in a $9,647 payday for Lamb, who was 15th in the World standings at the start of the show. The winner’s check pushed her yearly total to $21,380, elevating her to seventh in the standings. “There were so many great runs in the first go-round – just beautiful runs,” she added. “I just snuck into the finals, and in the finals just did my best.” Lamb was in the second-to-last hole going into the finals, and said she and her trainer, Gaylon Wells, studied every cow in the bunch prior to her run. “Being ninth out of 10 in the finals, Gaylon told me what to cut,” she said. “We had a good game plan as I went in. My first cow was good – softer than what I wanted, but pretty. It was a tough, hard cow, and ‘Ichi’ really excels in that. He loves that challenge. I cut what we had planned. I cut in the middle of the pen. I set Ichi up good, and he took it from there. It just all kind of came together.” Lamb said she feels blessed to have the horses she does and to be able to pursue her dreams. At the 2016 NCHA World Finals, she was the $35,000 Novice Reserve Champion riding Hes A Rubypepto and finished the year sixth in the World standings.

$50,000 Amateur and showed Torino Ichi (Cat Ichi x A Peppys Melody x Peppys Boy 895) at the World Finals. She finished third in the World in the $50,000 Amateur. She bought Rue Du Ichi at the end of his 5-year-old year from EE Ranches. “I left him with Dusty Nelson at EE Ranches to finish the year,” Lamb said. “Dusty had worked hard to get to the Finals. I’m extremely proud of Ichi and Dusty for being Reserve World Champion in the $5,000 Novice. I’m so thankful to Mrs. Jo and E.W. for the opportunity to own Ichi. “This year, it’s my year to ride him,” Lamb said. “It’s just been great so far. He’s just so good. I shocked myself and everyone else, I think, in making the finals. But making the finals was on my bucket list. I am still processing that I won it. I’m just so grateful.” Last year, Ichi and Wells made the Open finals at Mercuria events at the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo, All American Quarter Horse Congress and Idaho Cutting Horse Association Futurity. The now 8-year-old gelding finished the year third in the NCHA Open World Standings and has NCHA lifetime earnings of $167,487. “Last year was Gaylon’s year with Ichi – he rode him and was third in World in the Open. It was a great year,” Lamb said. “We took him home, and for this year, since he was a Novice horse, he needed transitioning from Open into the Non-Pro. We spent some time doing that, making him quicker and getting him ready for the weekend cattle.” Lamb had two goals for 2017 – make it into the Top 15

in the Non-Pro and make a Mercuria finals. “I’ve been working very hard to do this,” Lamb said. “So to not only make the finals but to win it ... well, it’s like Christmas for me. “I really need to thank my parents and my kids for making this possible and for supporting it,” Lamb added. “I’m gone a lot and they’re so supportive. They watch the webcasts. I’m extremely grateful and blessed.” Lamb attributed her success to a combination of her family’s support, her hard work and the strong trust she has in her trainer.“ His work ethic is stellar,” she said of Wells. “His relationship with clients is great. He’s honest and wants the best for every one of his clients. I’m very grateful. I’m also very thankful to have a great loper, Dani Lozzi. It’s a great feeling to have that trust in the person who gets your horse ready, and Dani does an awesome job. “Calgary did such an amazing job with the show,” she continued. “They provided such a quality show for us weekenders. Mercuria is so supportive of our industry and especially for the weekend haulers. I appreciate them adding money and supporting the weekend competitors.” Kaila Stewart of Crossfield, Alberta, and Amanda Smith, of Wembley, Alberta, tied for second with 220 points on Clays Little CD (CD Lights x Clays Little Hickory x High Brow Hickory) and Hoo Doo Hughes (Thomas E Hughes x Acre Of Freckles x Bob Acre Doc), respectively. They each earned $7,353.★
