FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
A Bright Future
W
ith longer days, new foals on the ground and warmer weather on the horizon, spring is a welcomed new season for all of us. I am happy to say we have wrapped up another successful NCHA Eastern National Championship presented by 6666 Ranch in Jackson, Mississippi, and we are looking forward to continuing on a great show season. The horse industry, as a whole, is known for being family-oriented and cutting is certainly no exception. Look around a show and you’ll see several families with three generations in the pen, from grandparents to grandchildren, all working together.
It’s the little things, like being taught to saddle a horse or how to cut that first cow, that have a lasting impact. Our sport is fortunate to have great role models across the board, many of whom do not even realize they are being looked up to. It’s no secret that it takes a strong community to raise children. From helping in the show pen to helping with homework, we all play a vital role in developing these youth. Their hard work, commitment to the horse and constant striving to improve is inspiring to us all. The Association is committed to supporting our youth both in and out of the show pen. Across the country, affiliates and show producers have been working diligently to increase the number of scholarship cuttings offered for our youth members. Additionally, new leadership and educational programs are being implemented both at the local and national level. Opportunities like these will equip our youth with skills and knowledge that will remain with them well into their adult life. I am confident that with this up and coming generation, our future is only getting brighter. As we begin to enjoy the spring weather and take advantage of longer days at the barn, remember to enjoy those little moments with our horses and friends alike. Jay Winborn

NCHA GOVERNANCE NOTICE
To all Directors and Members of NCHA,
T
he NCHA’s officers, Governance Committee members, and others have been involved now for several months evaluating our current bylaws and proposed changes. We sent a meeting notice last year with possible changes. The Governance Committee has since that date circulated suggestions. With these materials in hand, we scheduled a series of calls with the directors from each of the eight regions and spent many hours on calls with the regions to get their input on the proposals. We have also had input from a large number of members who have been following this effort. After the extensive review, we have identified a select number of possible changes that reflect a consensus of the input we have received over this review period. While I am still working on the process and content of changes, I intend to call a special meeting of the directors for May 28, 2020, with a special meeting of the members to follow immediately after the director’s meeting to consider the approval of possible bylaws changes. I intend to invite members to attend the directors’ meeting, but member participation in the discussions will be reserved for the members’ meeting and member participation in discussions will not be permitted in the directors’ meeting. I will send a formal notice of these special meetings giving the date, time and place and purpose of the meetings as required by NCHA’s Bylaws. The notices will also identify specifically the changes that I propose for adoption and that will be discussed. I anticipate the proposed changes will be published in full on our Association’s web site and possibly also in the Cutting Horse Chatter. These materials will be posted in no event less than 30 days before the special meetings. The bylaws have been in place many years and that foundation has worked well during difficult times such as the 2008 financial crisis. Nevertheless, times and the ability to communicate instantly with emails have prompted needed updates like allowing members to vote electronically. The special Directors and Members meetings are very important and your participation in the discussions is essential. As your NCHA President, I very strongly recommend you plan to attend the special meetings scheduled in connection with our Annual Meeting. Very truly yours,
Ron Pietrafeso, President

Hey NYCHA Members! BY MATTIE DUKES, SENIOR PRESIDENT, NYCHA
I
want to give a little shout out to all of the people who showed at the stock shows and the NCHA Eastern Nationals. Looks like you all did great. Way to go! The next big show to get ready for is the Western Nationals in Denver Colorado. Just like the Eastern Nationals, this show is full of fun things to do, such as the grand entry, family fun night, and dinner. There are also a ton of fun things to do close to the show. There are some great restaurants, whitewater rafting and many other activities not far from the fairgrounds!
The Summer Spectacular is just a couple of months away. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there. Like I have said before, we have some new and improved things that will be happening this year, so be on the lookout for the updates. Until then, keep tearing up the sand box and having fun! As always, feel free to contact me if y’all have any questions. Hope to see y’all soon. “In whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, give thanks to God the Father through him.”—Colossians 3:17

just lost and he said, ‘Daddy, I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but you might need to try this yourself. It’s a lot harder than it looks.’” Garner took up Lee III’s challenge and recruited help from trainers Arthur Jackson, Bobby Brown, Billy Ray Rosewell and Mike Haney. But it was Mel Shearin who gave Garner the tip on Baldy Freckles, winner of the 1987 NCHA Futurity Non-Pro Limited under Harold Franklin, and Garner purchased the stocky, 15.2-hand gelding in May of 1989. “Finding the right horse is like [ finding] a dance partner,” said Garner, who won the 1990 NCHA Non-Pro World Championship showing Baldy Freckles. According to Garner’s calculations, by the end of 1993 he and Baldy Freckles had been to the herd together 1,232 times. Garner, who had always preferred riding weekend horses, purchased Peponitas Acre, his 1996 NCHA Non-Pro Futurity Champion, at the 11th hour through Rosewell. “Billy Ray only let me on him three times after I bought him, for 10 or 20 seconds each time.” Garner remembered. “So when I got to the Futurity, I had to take it real easy and make sure I didn’t mess up.” Garner kept his cool, but confessed he didn’t remember much about his finals performance. “I do remember though, when I finally sat down on him, it was
Anne Marion, 1938-2020 BY SALLY HARRISON
Anne Windfohr Marion of Fort Worth, Texas, an influential businesswoman, rancher, and patron of the arts, passed away on February 12. She was 81. Marion was the great-granddaughter of Samuel Burk Burnett, founder of the famous Burnett cattle empire of Texas. In 1980, when her mother, Anne Burnett Tandy, passed away, Anne Marion inherited Burnett Ranches, including the Four Sixes in Guthrie, Texas, headquarters of the horse division. As a keen horsewoman, Marion has left an enduring impact on the Quarter Horse breed. She brought new 14
bloodlines into Burnett Ranches stock, while maintaining the foundation established by her grandfather, Tom Burnett. Most of today’s prominent Quarter Horses, including race and cutting horse performers, carry Burnett Ranches bloodlines deep, if not up close, in their pedigrees. She also played an instrumental role in establishing Fort Worth as home of what became the National Cutting Association’s showcase event, the NCHA Futurity. In addition to her dedication to ranching and horses, as an arts patron,

one of the few times I wasn’t on top of the saddle horn, and it felt like a million dollars. I wanted to get off and kiss him.” Between 1990 and 2014, Garner won or placed in the NCHA world standings 23 times. His Arena One in Batesville drew cutters from around the United States. “I built an arena before I even showed,” said Garner. “They say build a baseball field and people will come. Well, build an arena and people will come, especially if you have fresh cows.” A celebration of Garner’s life was held February 14 at the First United Methodist Church in Batesville. Burial followed at Magnolia Cemetery in Batesville.
Marion was a major benefactor of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and founder of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She also donated the life-size bronze of racehorse champion and sire Dash For Cash, created by NCHA Hall of Fame member Jim Reno, to the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum, and the bronze that stands in front of the National Cutting Horse Association office in Fort Worth. Anne Marion is included in the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame and the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, and received honors from the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and the National Ranching Heritage Museum.

Ernest Levi “Lee” Garner Jr., 75, an NCHA Members Hall of Fame and Non-Pro Hall of Fame honoree, the 1990 NCHA NonPro World Champion and the 1996 NCHA Non-Pro Futurity Champion, passed away on February 11 in his hometown of Batesville, Miss. It was Garner who put Batesville on the map for weekend cutters when he began hosting events at his covered arena there in the late 1980s. Although he was born 20 miles east, in Oxford, Garner spent most of his life in Batesville, where he established a home health-care business. As a teenager, Garner kept a horse and competed in rodeo events, but gave up rodeo and horses when he accepted a football scholarship under legendary Ole Miss football coach John Vaught. It was a fateful day in March of 1986 that connected Garner with the sport of cutting. “I thought I would go down to Jackson and buy a Quarter Horse at the [NCHA] Area Workoff,” he remembered. “I ended up buying 11.” Initially interested in breeding horses, Garner had no intention of showing, but encouraged his son’s interest in competition. “I guess I was an over-achiever as a father,” he admitted. “One day I scolded Lee for cutting a cow that somebody else had

THE IKE
Countess Catrina and Austin Shepard marked a 228 to win the 4-Year-Old Open championship for owners Rhein and Amanda Standish.
Super Cutting at The Ike Outstanding performances were rewarded with high scores as the aged-event season is fully under way. BY JENNIFER HORTON | PHOTOS BY SUZANNE SYLVESTER
T
he Super Bowl wasn’t the only place to see great athletes the first weekend in February. West Monroe, Louisiana, had cutting action in the dirt of the Ike Hamilton Arena, with $170,000 added to the aged event. The Ike Derby and Classic also included a full slate of weekend championship classes and hosted a Super Bowl party with its fish fry. Austin Shepard, who won the 4-YearOld Open on Countess Catrina, had high praise for the show and its manager. “Robert Charles Brown has put on that show ever since they moved it from Tunica. It’s a good pen to cut in,” he said. 30
“Robert Charles bends over backward for everybody to cut, and I think everybody needs to know that. He does everything in the world he can to put on a good show and I think that’s why people come, because they appreciate his effort.”
4-YEAR-OLD OPEN “It’s a great set of 4-year-olds,” said class champion Austin Shepard, and he wasn’t exaggerating. Shepard and Countess Catrina put up a 228 for the win in the class of 64 entries. “In the first go-round I marked a 216, which was the bubble to go to the second round. I marked a 222 in the second round
and that made it back on the bubble. A 438 is very high for a 4-year-old cutting, especially in the beginning of February. It was a very tough cutting. It’s an honor to win a cutting, any cutting, but to win that cutting, where it took a pair of 219s for the bubble, it was probably the best of the best. “You don’t have many 4-year-old finals where you mark a 228 early in the cutting and you sit there and wonder if you’re going to win or not.” Countess Catrina (Im Countin Checks x Catrina Starlight x High Brow Cat) is a homebred for Amanda and Rhein Standish, and a full sister to the great Deluxe Checks, the earner of $288,156. She earned $21,000 for the win, adding to her bank that started with a fifth place at the NCHA Futurity. “She reminds me a lot of Deluxe Checks,” said Austin. “She’s probably a little more mature than that mare was as a 3- and 4-year-old, but she reminds me a lot of her.” Eighteen horses made the finals, and six posted scores of 220.5 and above. “Cullen Chartier had marked a 223 right in front of me and had a very nice run,” recalled Shepard. “I wasn’t trying to beat his score. I just wanted to have the cleanest run I could have. I went down there and cut three really good cows and it just kind of fit. She was spot on. I felt like I had a lot of working time and I think she was doing her best for me. Just a really good clean run. “She’s very, very smart. She’s very cow-smart and tries really hard. If she makes any mistakes it’s from effort, from trying too hard.” Reserve Champio was Buonvino, shown by Beau Galyean. The gelding (Metallic Cat x Never Reylinquish x Dual Rey) marked a 224 and earned $19,000 for owner Billy Wolf. He picked up bonus money as the Novice and Gelding winner as well, adding another $5,327 to his paycheck.
4-YEAR-OLD LIMITED OPEN AND 4 YEAR OLD AMATEUR Tom Williams purchased Hashtag Metallic (Metallic Cat x Shes Playin Tag x High Brow CD) early in his 3-yearold year. Trained and shown by Brad Mitchell, he missed the NCHA Futurity Open semi-finals by just a half-point. However, Williams had success, making the Amateur finals. “He’s been a good, solid, hard-stopping horse so far,” said Mitchell. “He doesn’t

make any mistakes and he can go fast if the cows go fast. He’s a pretty nice horse.” Mitchell won the 4-Year-Old Limited Open with a 220 score to earn $4,901. The next day, Williams took the Hashtag Metallic’s reins to win the Amateur with a 219, earning $4,591. The Senior win added $1,036 to his take. Mitchell appreciates the horse and the success he and Williams have had on him in a short amount of time. “He’s pretty solid and understands his job,” he said. The gelding takes his rider changes in stride. “He’s been good like that,” said Mitchell. In the finals, Mitchell said both runs were clean. “The cuts and the cows; they weren’t spectacular cows, but they were good cows, he said. “The horse never missed. There weren’t any trouble points, just really two good solid, real nice runs.” The 4-Year-Old Limited Open Reserve Champion was Gunnar Jensen (Cat Ichi x Pretty Uptown x Pretty Boy Cat). Owned by Mark Senn and shown by Craig Thompson, he marked a 218.5 that paid $4,155. With wins in the Novice and Gelding, they took home an additional $3,253 for the day. In the Amateur 4-Year-Old, Lica Pinkston and Sueper Smooth (Boon Too Suen x Smooth Denim x Smooth As A Cat) took the reserve championship and $3,659. Their 214 score also earned $926 for the Gelding win and $727 for second place in the Senior.

4-YEAR-OLD NON-PRO Ashley Flynn and Niteriider (Metallic Cat x Sweet Shorty Lena x Shorty Lena) took the win in the 4-Year-Old Non-Pro. The gelding, owned by Sean and Ashley Flynn, earned $7,428 with a composite 438 in the pencil finals. Niteriider is known as “Batman” around the barn. “He’s come on to be a super show horse,” said Ashley, admitting at times she wasn’t sure about her gamble on the 3-year-old prospect. “I was second-guessing myself last summer.”
But Sean kept encouraging her and now the full brother to Slooow Ride (the earner of $142,174) has changed her mind. “He’s been really good, he’s an easy horse now,” Ashley said. “He’s really smart about a cow and so cowy.” Ashley planned to show two 4-yearolds. But when the class set up to be just two sets, she knew it meant getting five Flynn non-pro horses ready in a short window of time, so she opted to only enter one for herself. She chose Batman, the one eligible for the Novice and Gelding, for the chance to earn more money, and it worked out. Their win included the Novice and Gelding classes, adding $3,057 to his paycheck. Ashley sees the pressure that a pencil finals puts on the first go. “You have to go for it—you can’t coast—so I did,” she said. When the cows were tougher on the second day, she tried to take a safer route. Alexa Dahl and Smoothie Lou Who (Smooth As A Cat x Reyal Money x Dual Rey) put up a 432 to earn $5,879 as reserve champion, along with secondplace money of $940 in the Novice class.

THE IKE
[LEFT TO RIGHT] Amy Roberts showed Lotta Skeet to earn the 4-Year-Old Intermediate Amateur championship. • Rollz Royce picked up another win with Beau Galyean, this time in the 5/6-Year-Old Open, with a score of 229. • Redhead From Denver and Bradey Davis earned the 5/6-Year-Old Limited Open title with a 225.
“She’s nothing like I’ve ever owned,” Dahl said. “She carried me to my first Futurity finals and has just gotten better every time I’ve shown her. She’s incredibly smart and strong, and she teaches me something new every time I show her.” Dahl said she was nervous before the second go. “I was really nervous because a lot of peole had gone out because the cows were really bad,” she aid. “With a pencil finals, I knew everyone was really going for it and I didn’t want to do something erratic and ruin our shot at a check. Adan [Banuelos] told me to be smart and clean, and cut whatever I could get away from me. She handled everything so well. She was patient and smart as soon as I put my hand down. She’s made me really confident in showing because every time I ask her for more, she just gets better.” Sueper Smooth (Boon Too Suen x Smooth Denim x Smooth As A Cat), owned by John and Lica Pinkston and shown by Lica, took reserve with 429, earning $3,731. Lica also collected wins in the Gelding ($1,176) and Senior ($1,568).
4-YEAR-OLD INTERMEDIATE AMATEUR Amy Roberts showed Lotta Skeet (Kit Kat Sugar x Manytimes x One Time Pepto) to a 215.5 for the win in the 4-Year-Old Intermediate Amateur, earning $3,765. 32
Reserve Champion Texas Tuxxedo (Once In A Blu Boon x Lil Puma x High Brow Cat), shown by Deb Herold, marked a 215 for $2,824. Owned by Deb and her husband, Tom, he also won the Gelding and the Senior, adding $1,719.
5/6-YEAR-OLD OPEN “Isn’t that cool?” was Beau Galyean’s reaction to Rollz Royce’s win. Galyean compares the equine athlete to a wired, long-muscled wide receiver. “Everything is very high-octane with him, yet he’s serious about his job,” Galyean said. Rollz Royce and Galyean came late in the finals draw to mark a whopping 229 for the championship and $12,000 for owner Thomas Guinn. The deep class of 50 entries took a 221.5 just to make the finals. A 222 in the go-round sent Rollz Royce (Dual Smart Rey x Show Biz Kitty x High Brow Cat) to the finals, where the 229 became the stallion’s record high score. “For a long time, everybody thought he needed a certain cow,” said Galyean. “Now he’s won several times. He finds a way, and he has that unique ability to get that cow, like, ‘Hey buddy look at me.’ It doesn’t seem possible, yet he keeps doing it.” Galyean thinks people might give him credit for skill cutting his cows, but he gives the credit to his horse. “Looking at the cows at The Ike, look at their ears and their heads. They’re not going anywhere because that horse draws those cows in,” he said. “It’s amazing.
“The scores were incredible. Everybody was on their game. Their horses were good, the cows were setting up good, the pen was good. Everything was good, and it was really neat to be a part of it.” Galyean appreciates the win very much. “It is special, any time,” he said. Rollz Royce has NCHA earnings of $266,602. Last year, Blackish split the reserve title in the 5/6-Year-Old Open with Cinca Im Hot. This year, Lloyd Cox and Blackish (Hottish x SS Blacks Lil Kitty x Blue Bayou Boon) claimed the spot alone with a 226. The win picked earned an $11,000 paycheck for the mare, bred and owned by Julie Jarma. Last year’s Ike 4-Year-Old Open champions, Crey Zee (Dual Rey x Eazee E x High Brow Cat) and Tatum Rice, won the Novice division in the class and placed seventh in the 5/6-Year-Old Open to earn a total of $5,381 for owners Kevin and Sydney Knight. Hott Nu Cowboy (Hottish x Special Nu Kitty x High Brow Cat), shown by Cullen Chartier for Circle R Cutting Horses, finished third in the Open with a 224.5 for $9,000, and won the gelding class for an additional $2,195.
5/6-YEAR-OLD LIMITED OPEN Bradey Davis took Redhead From Denver (Metallic Cat x Quejana Reeves x Quejanaisalena) to a 225 to win the Limited Open, earning $4,552 for owner Lindy Wells.

In the go-round, Davis set his goal to show clean. “I didn’t overexpose her. I didn’t want to have a rough cut or a big miss,” he said. “To me, that mare has enough style, as long as I’m clean in the go-rounds it should advance me.” In the finals, he had to step it up a bit. “A 220 was winning it so I knew you had to come mark something,” he said. “There was a black mott in there that settled not very good, but at the very end of the settling, Austin [Shepard] rode up to it and she kind of cowed down and worked him a little bit, so I thought, ‘Well, maybe she has a little feel about her.’ “I told my help the only way I’d cut that black mott was if she volunteered herself. On my second cut, I was actually trying to cut another cow, and all of a sudden that black mott spit out in the middle of the arena right there by herself. She made my run. My first cow was adequate, but that second one was like a 77 cow, and my third cow was good enough to finish out for a 225. “When I cut that second cow, everyone was telling me to stay inside. But every time I kicked that mare harder, she got better and better, so I thought I’m just going to see how far I can keep going.” Davis appreciates the mare’s ability to adapt to her change in riders between the Open with him and the Amateur classes with Wells. “She’s a very honest horse,” he said. “I give Lindy credit, she does ride very well, so I’m 34
not ever worried about her messing that mare up, or kicking when she needs to be sitting, but it is two different riders. Brad Mitchell took the reserve championship with Sofies Choice Cat (High Brow Cat x Sofie Rey x Dual Rey) for owner Tom Williams. Their 220 score earned $3,748. Nate Gribble showed Most Stylish Player (Lizzys Gotta Player x Most Stylish Mom x Docs Stylish Oak) for Cowan Ranch to win the Novice class and $2,026. Their 219 also secured third place in the Limited Open for $2,944.

horse. He’s been a wonderful horse; we’ve all shown him and we’ve all won on him.” Todd was pleased his first-draw spot in the finals that let him form a plan. “Adan and I talked about it before we walked down there. Start with the red muley, then the red baldy, then there was a black poufy-polled cow we liked. It worked out where the red muley was on top and I was able to get her cut clean and quickly. She was a good cow to start the run off. I quit her, turned around and the red baldy was over on the edge by R.L. Chartier in the other corner. I pushed her out on the outside, got her up and out clean, and let the run build. “My horse has been fantastic. If I do my job and we get some decent cows out in front of him I always feel like I’ve got a shot.” He and his wife enjoy competing in the same classes. “Elizabeth and I encourage each other. We motivate each other, but, at the same time, we have a lot of fun competing against each other, and it goes back and forth,” Todd laughed. “She always seems to beat me a lot more than I beat her, but it’s nice every now and then to get one.” Right behind her husband, Elizabeth showed Dressedin Smartstyle (Dual Smart Rey x Stylish Play Lena x Docs Stylish Oak) to a 221, earning $6,133 and also was fourth with Catillac Reys (Metallic Cat x Tootsie Rey x Dual Rey) with a 218, earning $2,829. Elizabeth and her two horses took the second- and third-place monies in the Novice and Gelding to bump her earnings another $4,153 combined.

Defining “power couple,” Todd and Elizabeth Quirk collected more than $24,000 together in the 5/6-Year-Old Non-Pro. Todd topped the finals with a 225 aboard Reystylin Smooth (Smooth As A Cat x Rey N Style x Dual Smart Rey). The win paid $7,786. They also won the Novice and Gelding top spots for another $3,684 combined. The Quirks and trainer Adan Banuelos liked the horse as a 3-year-old and purchased him the following year. “He’s really strong, smart and accurate and he can turn around as fast as anything I’ve seen,” Todd said of the gelding they call “Levi.” “He’s always had that extra something, that ‘it factor’ we look for in a
Metallic Royal Mate (Metallic Cat x Royal Red Rinpoche x Smart Mate) continued his winning ways for Belle Terre Ranch when Missy Jean Etheridge rode him to a 218 for the win and $5,416. Etheridge said they bought the stallion at the 2019 NCHA Futurity sale for her husband, Vick. “I watched the horse go. When I saw him, I thought he’d fit my husband really well because [Vick has] had a couple of back surgeries. He’s really easy to ride and doesn’t whip you around,” she said. “He’s really been a great horse. He’s just a prince, he’s super sweet, doesn’t act like a stud. He is my husband’s

5/6-YEAR-OLD LIMITED NON-PRO Monty Nix showed Hows Your Memorey (High Brow CD x Memorey x Dual Rey), a mare owned by Robert Collins, to win the 5/6-Year-Old Limited Non-Pro with a score of 216 to earn $3,470.
5/6-YEAR-OLD AMATEUR Andrea Sutten likes The Ike. She won here several years ago, in the $50,000 Amateur, and now she has another Ike championship with Wicked Metal (Metallic Cat x A Little Bit Wicked x Smart Little Lena). “This is our first championship and it was very exciting,” said Sutten. Her 222 score marks Sutten’s personal best. Owned by Von and Andrea Sutten, the gelding earned $4,797 plus $1,036 for the Gelding win. “When I saw that [222] I was very excited, because the run felt very good, the horse was working so well, and my help was amazing,” said Sutten. “Thank you to my help: my trainer Casey Green, Sean Flynn in the corner, and then Austin Shepard and Bill Pierce turned me. It just must have been my turn.” Sutten said her plan was simple. “My thought is always just to listen to Casey and do what he says. He always knows the cows,” she said. “He’s the best help I’ve found instructing you how to find them. It makes it very 36
easy for an amateur to go in and see what he’s talking about and get the ones he wants. Then, hopefully, you can do your job as a rider to get them cut as clean as possible and start your run the right way.” Second in the draw, Sutten had to wait to see if her 222 would hold. “I had to hold my breath for a little bit and it worked out well,” she said. Reserve Champion Sweet Toothe (Kit Kat Sugar x One Time Sis x One Time Pepto) and June McGee marked 219 for $3,939. They picked up two more paychecks for reserve in the Gelding ($727) and winning the Senior class ($1,243).
5/6-YEAR-OLD INTERMEDIATE AMATEUR The win was split between Lindy Wells on Redhead From Denver and Lynn Goforth on Cat A Rally (Cat A Rey x KF Smart Alley Pep x Smart Little Lena). Their scores of 218 earned them each $2,882. “He’s been a really solid gelding for us,” said Goforth, who bought Cat A Rally early last year with his wife, Kara. He showed him at The Ike last year in the 4-Year- Old Amateur to tie for reserve and also take reserve in the Intermediate Amateur. Fourth in the finals draw, Goforth watched two scores of 0 and one 189 ahead of him.

“The cattle were pretty fast,” he said. “We just wanted to get through a run.” “I probably want to go fast all the time, so I think my help was telling me I need to go slow every step I took,” recalled Goforth. “We tried to stay out in front away from the herd and cut three cows that let us get to them. My help was great and they walked me through the whole thing.” Goforth admitted he might not have taken a breath during his run. Austin Shepard and Brad Mitchell talked him through the run from the corners. “Pretty much, they told me to slow down every time I made a move,” he chuckled. “They had me go in and cut three cows that were in a good spot that we could get cut clean and stay up out of the herd. That was pretty much our plan and we felt our way through it.” Co-champion Lindy Wells and Redhead From Denver built on trainer Bradey Davis’ earlier win. “We found out early on when we bought her last summer that she was going to be able to pack us both very well,” Davis said. “She is so easygoing. She’s going to try 100 percent, it’s irrelevant who is on her.” The mare’s adaptability showed in the 5/6-Year-Old Amateur (all divsions ran together) with Wells, where she tied for the high score with Julie Beasley and CR Dualin Out Tuff (Woody Be Tuff x ARC Catty Dual x Dual Pep). “Her 221 run [in the Amateur first go] was seamless. Lindy didn’t think she even kicked her,” said Davis. Wells ended up splitting the win in the Intermediate Amateur, with a 218 collecting $2,882. Buster Quirk won the Gelding for $793 with SR Kit Kat Rey (Kit Kat Sugar x Haida Rey x Dual Rey). In addition to fourth place in the Intermediate Amateur, earning $1,558, Dennis Levering and Metallic Alley (Metallic Cat x KF Smart Alley Pep x Smart Little Lena) won the Senior money, $1,146.

T
he Bonanza Cutting may have had a new home this year, but entries for the show remained fairly steady. Held February 12-21 at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas, the event had an overall increase of 30 entrants from 2019 in the main divisions, with 811 total entries including classes-within-a-class, according to show secretary Terry Shelton. In addition to the new location, the show changed its format a bit by adding an Intermediate finals to the 4-Year-Old and 5/6-Year-Old Open divisions. In order to enter that division, exhibitors had to have won less than $200,000 in the last two years as of December 31, 2019. “It’s due to the leveling system; that’s what prompted us to do that,” Shelton said. “We don’t want to hurt the Open division, but these other trainers need a place to show and not compete against those that have won lots and lots of money. They’re just not as experienced yet. 38
“I think all shows are trying to find some type of leveling that will make it a little more even for those guys and maybe attract some that haven’t been showing in a long time because they feel like they don’t have a chance,” Shelton added. “Everybody is kind of trying their own thing to see what will be the best and hopefully, between all of us, we can figure it out.”
ond go],” Miller said. “The cows have been really tough at this show, so I knew with that last-hole draw we were going to need a little luck to get it done. “Luckily, he’s a pretty smart horse, really strong, has a lot of reach and can really go cover a lot of ground quickly,” said Miller, a $3 million rider. “My wife had him perfectly prepared like she always does, so I definitely couldn’t do it without her.” Miller and Megan purchased “Kion,” nicknamed after a character in the cartoon show The Lion Guard, as a weanling. They both showed him at the 2019 NCHA Futurity, and while Miller and Kion were run over in the first go, Megan advanced to the Non-Pro semifinals with the stallion (Dual Smart Rey x Miss Woody Two Shoes x High Brow Cat), who was bred by Lannie Louise Mecom. “He’s been really fun. He’s pretty easy to get along with and fairly laid-back,” Miller said. “He can come out a little fresh sometimes, but after about half a circle, he’s down and ready to listen to you.” The 221 posted by Sanctus (High Brow Cat x Sofie Rey x Dual Rey) and Rodrigo Taboga landed the pair the 4-Year-Old Open reserve championship and $18,942. The stallion was bred by Jose Isidro Sigala and is owned by Scott Durham. A score of 216 helped Lil Miss Jackson and Jody Galyean win the 4-Year-Old
4-YEAR-OLD OPEN Matt Miller may have drawn 27th—dead last—in the 4-Year-Old Open finals on Hit Tha Flo, a stallion he owns with his wife, Megan, but there were still two cows he liked in the bunch. He cut the first one with no problem, but the second cow was tougher than anticipated. Hit Tha Flo handled it well, though, and after the duo’s third cow, the scoreboard lit up with a 221.5. The pair snagged the title, and a check worth $23,677, by half a point. “I felt good and confident coming into the finals [after scoring a 221.5 in the sec-

4-YEAR-OLD NON-PRO After capping off 2019 by tying to win the NCHA Futurity Non-Pro, Kristen Galyean and Coureygous returned to the show pen at the Bonanza, where the duo scored a 218 to win the 4-Year-Old Non-Pro. Galyean said the mare has been consistent for both her and her husband, Wesley, a $4 million rider who showed the mare to a tie for fourth place in the 4-Year-Old Open. “Coming off winning the [NCHA] Futurity, she’s been kind of on vacation until the show, so we just legged her up a couple of weeks before we came here,” Galyean said. “She kind of got the nickname of ‘Warhorse’ ever since she went in the show pen. She’s very serious about her job, and she enjoys it.” Riding from the second draw into the finals, the pair was able to cut the cows they wanted. Those cattle didn’t make things easy, but the duo survived and ultimately banked a $13,472 check for the win. “I was really proud of my mare just handling the situation,” Galyean said. “She’s really good about handling whatever cow we put out in front of her, and we put out some pretty tough ones there
at the Bonanza. I think she showed five times [between Wesley and me] and never marked below a 218, but we sure cut some nasty cows for her.” The Galyeans picked Coureygous (Dual Rey x Highbrow Supercat x High Brow Cat) out of breeder Paul Dean’s pasture when she was a weanling, and Wesley has trained her ever since. Galyean thanked her husband; God, for allowing her family to compete; and her parents, Jim and Debbie Glover, who are partners on the mare. Brandon Westfall rode I Reckon So, owned by his parents, Russ and Janet, to a 217 for the Reserve Championship. Westfall and the homebred horse (Kit Kat Sugar x Just As Reckless x CD Royal) collected
$10,777. They also won the Gelding division for $2,412 and collected the $2,773 check for winning the $25,000 Novice division.

Scott and Hooper also split the Senior championship to add $1,658 to their earnings. Hooper also secured the championship in the Gelding division for an additional $1,550, and won the Unlimited Amateur Senior division for $2,239. “Cow-smart horses succeed in tough cows,” Hooper said. This was certainly true for both Playin Metallic and Miss Metallic Rose. Hooper had hopped on his horse’s back for the first time just two days before he showed. “Chris Johnsrud kept telling me he was smooth, but I was shocked to see how smooth he was,” Hooper said. The gelding was shown at the NCHA Futurity by Johnsrud and advanced to the Open semifinals, missing the Open finals by just one point. Hooper did not show him at the Futurity, but they are planning to show the gelding in both the Open and Amateur classes at the Kit Kat Sugar NCHA Super Stakes. Hooper and his gelding also found success at the Arbuckle Mountain Futurity. Scott purchased Miss Metallic Rose during her 2-year-old year from Gary Daniels. She was started by Abraham Calvillo before
being trained by Kutter Pounds. Thus far, they have picked up checks at the NCHA Futurity, the Abilene Spectacular and the Ike Derby and Classic. “She is a fragile little mare, but real cowy,” Scott said. “You have to sit on her real still to get her shown.” Scott credits Pounds and his help for his success.
4-YEAR-OLD UNLIMITED AMATEUR Traci Shehady rode Once In Love to win the 4-Year-Old Unlimited Amateur with a 219. She earned $4,559. The mare (Once In A Blu Boon x Biscuit Love x Smart Aristocrat) has earnings of $27,195.

While Gaines said he’s always been a good horse, “Drifter” has matured, leading to his victory with Gaines at the Bonanza in the 5/6-Year-Old Open. The pair rode from the first draw—which isn’t usually Gaines’ favorite—to a 223, taking home a check worth $15,820. Gaines said his first and third cows were both good, but the second one challenged the horse and helped build the momentum of the run.
Metallic Drifter and Matt Gaines didn’t let the first draw in the 5/6-Year-Old finals faze them. The pair rode to a 223, winning the championship. 40

THE BONANZA [LEFT TO RIGHT] The 5/6-Year-Old Open reserve championship went to Metallic Curveball, ridden by Jesse Lennox. • USS Tucker and Steve Oehlhof won the 5/6-YearOld Intermediate Open Championship
“It [the first draw] was a pretty good place to be because the cows have been pretty tough here all week,” Gaines said. “We just had a good, solid, clean run, and fortunately it ended up being the best one. The cows kind of got tougher from then on, and it got harder to have a good run.” Gaines said time and seasoning made all the difference for Drifter. The gelding, an earner of more than $137,000,
hadn’t been as consistent as he would have liked, but he has seen improvement as the horse has aged. “He’s always been a talented horse and a good horse, just a little immature, but that’s sure changed a lot in the last six months or so,” Gaines said. Owned by Jim Vangilder, Drifter (Metallic Cat x Ruby Bagonia x Peppy San Badger) was bred by Arcese Quarter Horses. Gaines
planned to show him the rest of the year in the limited age events and is thinking about hauling the gelding in 2021 for a world title. Rocking P Ranch’s Metallic Curveball and Jesse Lennox marked a 221 for the 5/6-YearOld Open Reserve Championship, banking $12,656. The 5-year-old stallion (Metallic Cat x Cinca De Maya x Dual Rey) was bred by David Hartman, DVM. The 5/6-Year-Old Intermediate Open Championship went to 6-year-old gelding USS Tucker (Dual Smart Rey x Karma Kat x High Brow Cat) and Steve Oehlhof, who scored a 222. They collected $9,603 for owner/breeder Sweet Blessings Ranch.

With two wins under their belts this year, including the Bonanza 5/6-YearOld Non-Pro, Todd Quirk and Reystylin Smooth are on a roll in 2020.
Barbara Young, the gelding has continued to impress them. This year alone, “Levi,” now 6 years old, has already carried Quirk to two championships—first at The Ike Derby and Classic 5/6-Year-Old Non-Pro, and then the championship in the same class at the Bonanza. “This is a horse that I always admired,” Todd said of Levi (Smooth As A Cat x Rey N Style x Dual Smart Rey). “I knew his mama, and I knew the training program. Justin Chalmers did a fantastic job on this horse. And then the last 18 months we’ve had him, Adan [Banuelos] has done a fantastic job with all of our horses, and we’ve had some pretty good years here lately with him. I owe a lot of the credit to Adan.” Todd, Elizabeth and Banuelos swap off riding Levi, and the horse has racked up $194,000-plus in earnings, including his winner’s check of $7,380 from the
Bonanza. In the fall of 2019 alone, he carried Banuelos to 5/6-Year-Old Open championships at the Brazos Bash and West Texas Futurity, and he and Elizabeth won the Idaho Cutting Horse Association
Futurity Classic/Challenge Non-Pro. “It’s just been outstanding,” Todd said. “I can’t say enough good things about Eddie and Barbara Young for selling us the horse and believing in us to be able to

go and take one that they raised and were so confident in. We’re having a lot of fun, and he’s being really competitive. “I’d like to thank Adan and his whole team, and then my other help—Chris Johnsrud, Tatum Rice and Clay Johnson were just outstanding this week,” he said. He also picked up the Gelding win for an additional $1,809, plus the $25,000 Novice check for $2,653. After marking 3 points behind Quirk for a 221, Ali Good and Code Belue went home with the 5/6-Year-Old Non-Pro Reserve Championship, along with a check for $5,904.

5/6-YEAR-OLD UNLIMITED AMATEUR Langston Pattillo marked a massive 224 riding Miss Lacey (Kit Kat Sugar x Smart Gemolena x Smart Little Lena) from a last-hole draw to claim the 5/6-Year-Old Unlimited Amateur championship. Their win earned the team $6,687. Pattillo acquired the mare early in her 4-year-old year, and said “she has more heart than body.” “She is not very big, but she will go do it 110 percent,” he said. He was quick to thank his help— Randy Chartier, Cullen Chartier, Michael Cooper and Clay Johnson—as well as Cameron Thompson for preparing his horse. Pattillo plans to take Miss Lacey to the NCHA Super Stakes. They have also bred
the mare to Stevie Rey Von and Metallic Cat in the past few years. “I don’t think she will ever leave this place, she’s my dad’s favorite horse,” Pattillo said. Andrea Sutten was reserve champion marking a 216 aboard Wicked Metal (Metallic Cat x A Little Bit Wicked x Smart Little Lena). They also took home the Gelding championship. Lachlan Perks rode Metallic Jack (Metallic Cat x Stella Starlight x Grays Starlight) to the Classic Unlimited Amateur Senior championship.

It was the biggest paycheck to date for Floyd and her mare, who placed third at The Non-Pro in 2019 in both the 4-Year-Old Amateur and Unlimited Amateur. They have been finalists at multiple aged events. Reserve champion was Austria Arnold riding Cat About Houston (Metallic Cat x Bet On Houston x Peptoboonsmal), earning $3,800.

NCHA VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE Skip Jones has been an NCHA member for 25 years.
Skip Jones
I
have been a member of NCHA for more than 25 years and a life member most of that time. I have competed in weekend shows at all levels, starting in the $2,000 Limit Rider class all the way through the open classes. I have shown in limited age events in Fort Worth and at the independent level, earning just over $200,000 in my cutting career. Our involvement with cutting has included breeding, raising, and showing numerous horses, including standing a stallion. Having served as president of the Panhandle Cutting Horse Association for more than 10 years, I produced weekend shows, working with a board of directors. This included procuring cattle, finding and retaining sponsors and all the details that goes into making a weekend show successful. During this time, we started the PCHA scholarship fund, which has 48
helped numerous kids continue their education. Serving as president of the West Texas Cutting Horse Association, we have produced the Metallic Cat West Texas Futurity for 19 years. Being an NCHA director from Area 11 for more than 20 years, I have served on the Limited Age Events Committee, Non-Pro Committee, Competition Committee and Open Show committee, serving as chair of the Open Show Committee for three years. I am currently in my second year on the Executive Committee as the Region 7 representative. I feel that I have a unique knowledge of this organization, having participated and served in a wide variety of areas during my time with NCHA. Being on the Executive Committee provides a sound basis for continuity and enhances my ability to be successful as an officer. Coupled with my time running small
businesses, I have had a wide range of experiences that lend themselves to successfully leading the NCHA. I am committed to making NCHA better. My overriding goal is achieving stability and balance in the National Cutting Horse Association. Nothing thrives during turmoil, chaos and crisis. We can achieve stability and balance by listening to our members and the standing committees. The committee structure is the backbone of our organization. It is imperative that we both listen to and task them with projects that lead to improvements in the NCHA, show leveling being a prime example. The show leveling concept is one of the most vetted projects to ever come out of our committees. It has been a big success for the shows that have implemented it as designed, to include the Amateur, Non-Pro and Open classes. We have used it at the West Texas Futurity and achieved the goal of a significant increase in new participants. For more than 20 years the NCHA has been a focal point of my life. After my family, it has been one of the most important things that I have devoted time to. I have made lifelong friends based on our common love of NCHA and the horses involved. As NCHA Vice President I would like to help bring stability to the organization. I feel I can, working with Steve, Ora, Jay and our staff contribute to our growth and success. With a strong executive director, we can build on and enhance his strengths, providing vision and leadership without micromanaging him or the staff. I think this in turn will help make the National Cutting Horse Association the premier equine organization that we all want it to be. The theme should be Let’s Cut and Have Fun! If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with me at skip@fhss.us or call me on my cell at 806-679-9919. Thank you for your consideration and above all, VOTE.

NCHA VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE Ted Sokol joined NCHA in 1982.
Ted Sokol
I
have been a member of NCHA since 1982. Growing up in New England, I experienced my first real introduction to cutting while attending Tarleton State College in Stephenville, Texas. Before giving my full attention to cutting I showed in both American Quarter Horse Association and National Reining Horse Association events. Moving to Florida in 1986, my wife, Kathy, and I started Ted Sokol Cutting Horses, Inc., which has been a successful horse training business for the past 34 years. I have been in the NCHA Top 10 world standings multiple times, and also a multiple national and aged event finalist. Over the years, I have trained an array of Non-Pro, Amateur and Youth competitors at every competitive level. This includes customers who show on the local weekend levels to others who have goals of hauling for national, world and limited aged event titles. I have had the privilege of helping a customer from 50
their first ride on a cutting horse to competing in their first World Finals. During this time, I have also donated to several special-need groups, such as The Wounded Warrior Project. I have helped Mr. Dan Nevins prepare for the NCHA Careity Celebrity Cutting, where he has been a two-time champion. I have also held a retreat for our Wounded Warriors where they were able to encounter their first cutting experience. This year I was also honored with the Zane Schulte Award. This award is given to a trainer who exemplifies integrity, service, values, respect of their peers, contribution to their industry and excellence in the arena. My family and I have always been involved in the NCHA. I have served as an NCHA National Director for 20 years and have also sat on the Trainers and Open Show committees for multiple years. I have been a member of the Florida Cutting Horse Association since 1986. During that time, I served as an officer for over 30 years and
president for 12 of those years. FCHA won Affiliate of the Year during two of my terms as president. I have served as an AQHA and NRHA judge as well as NRHA National Director. My wife, Kathy, served as an NCHA affiliate officer, secretary and videographer. My daughter Nikki was NYCHA President, is in the NYCHA Hall of Fame and presently serving on the NCHA Youth Committee. My daughter Jamie served as NYCHA secretary, is in the NYCHA Hall of Fame and currently serving as FCHA President. If elected, I would like to help the current leadership solidify our governance and work with each area, affiliate and show producer to help them with their individual and specific needs. I believe this will help to increase membership and reduce the financial burden on affiliates and show producers of both weekend and aged events; allowing their shows to become more successful. I would also like to work to increase national sponsorships and corporate partners. By helping each area increase membership, and producing more successful shows, we can introduce and promote NCHA to potential sponsors as a premier national equine association. This, in turn, allows NCHA to give back to our members and affiliates by increasing added money at NCHA events at no additional cost to the members. I wish to give back to the NCHA for the life it has given to me and my family. I believe that my background of running a business, helping affiliates achieve financial success, developing sponsors and dealing with special-interest groups will help the NCHA to grow stronger and help new generations to become involved, while never forgetting our cutting horse history and ranching heritage.

RIDERS HALL OF FAME
Cara Barry Brewer
Cara Brewer credits her family and the family of a special mare for her ticket to the Riders Hall of Fame. BY JENNIFER HORTON
C
ara Brewer grew up in southwest Missouri. Her mother, Sue Barry, showed successfully as a non-pro and got Cara started cutting when she was about 7 years old. Her father, Tim Barry, is in the Non-Pro Hall of Fame. Brewer had a successful youth cutting career, making the Youth Hall of Fame. “I was lucky,” she said of being raised in the cutting world. When she graduated out of youth, Brewer stepped into training as a career. In 2004, a gray mare became the catalyst for Brewer’s success as an open rider and trainer when she won the Super Stakes aboard Playin Tag (Playgun x Peppys Rey Jey x Peponita). 52
Playin Tag was later bred to Dual Rey and her first foal was a filly named Dual Rey Tag, who earned $50,000 for Jim Haworth. Bred to Metallic Cat, Dual Rey Tag would produce the standout stallion Hashtags, the 2018 NCHA Open Horse of the Year. As one who had a hand in his breeding (and his name), Brewer is proud of Hashtags and all he has accomplished with Tatum Rice. She loves the breeding side of the business and eagerly awaits the arrival of foals each spring. At the 2019 NCHA Futurity, Brewer made the semifinals on two full brothers to Hashtags, Pound Sign and Taggline, and went on to make the finals on Taggline. Their success opened the door for Brewer to the Hall of Fame.
Metallic Merry (Metallic Cat x Playguns Star x Playgun) was the horse that put her over $1 million in earnings. “I had planned to make the Hall of Fame sooner,” admitted Brewer, but she slowed down when she had a baby. “But it was totally worth it! That’s one of my biggest accomplishments. I’ll be the only woman with a young child in the Hall of Fame.” Brewer and her husband, Scott, are parents to 7-year-old Brand. She said her great support system of her mom, family and customers are invaluable to her as she balances work with mom life. Scott, a successful rider with $463,000 in lifetime earnings, now focuses on his true passion—his Angus cattle operation—along with helping Brewer on their Jay, Oklahoma ranch. Now a $1.2 million rider, Brewer joined the ranks of successful trainers when not many women were at the top. While many women compete successfully as non-pros, cutting continues to be a male-dominated profession. Brewer is now offering clinics to share her knowledge. “I did a demo at the Art of the Cowgirl in Phoenix, Arizona, and that was awesome,” she said. Giving, and getting, advice is one of her keys to success. “I’ve been given a lot of really good advice,” Brewer said. “Casey Green told me to trust your training, trust yourself and the job that you’ve done. James Payne told me it’s always good to learn new things from people, but don’t lose your own style. “When I first started training, Paul Hansma encouraged me. He told me, ‘We need more women trainers.’ It might have been reverse psychology, but that didn’t work.” Brewer said she appreciates the people who have helped her. “Of course, my husband and my parents, because they started it. I couldn’t do it without my husband,” she said. “I have great customers and great friends; there’s been a lot of people along the way who have helped me.” Not to mention that special gray mare.

Monty Buntin
This West Coast trainer is grateful for the support from his circle of family and friends. BY JENNIFER HORTON
M
onty Buntin was just 13 when he found a job with cutting trainer Salvador Cabral. Later, still a teenager, Buntin made a trip to the NCHA Futurity, looking for a job. Allen Crouch offered him good advice. “Go watch the go-rounds, find someone that impresses you and ask them for a job. You’ve got a big drive, and you’re good at what you’re doing.” Buntin watched Tim Smith mark a 218.5 in the first round. “I approached him, we went to lunch, he offered me a job, and my wife and I went home with him [to California]. Tim was a good choice,” he said. Buntin called Smith his best mentor, in life and cutting. “Tim told me, ‘If you get a chance to go to the herd, go,’ and I took that very literally,” said Buntin. When Buntin was ready to go out on his own, clients Steve and Stacy Morgan
54
built their facility in Lincoln, California, specifically for the young trainer. “They’re as close to family as you can get without a DNA test,” he said. “I sure appreciate everything they’ve done for us.” While Buntin hesitates to credit particular horses for his success, he named a few. “High Brow Jackson is pretty special. He made the Futurity finals, Super Stakes finals and won a lot of money,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of good horses for Scott Gaddy, his owner.” High Brow Jackson (High Brow Cat x Money Talks Smart x Smart Mate) and Buntin tied for fifth in the 2012 NCHA Futurity Open and were reserve champions in the John Deere Limited Open. Gaddy also has shown the horse with great success. They returned to Will Rogers Coliseum in 2013 and won the NCHA Super Stakes John Deere Limited Open. Starlights Lil Cat (WR This Cats Smart x Starlights CD x Grays Starlight) and
Metelesness (Metallic Cat x Teles Playin Girl x Lenas Telesis), both owned by the Morgans, and Dual Cat Pepto (Dual Rey x Swiss Cat Pepto x Sweet Lil Pepto), owned by Mike and Debra Flashman, were others he included. “There’s a great group of people on the West Coast to go cut with, and it’s always enjoyable. I feel that showing a lot on the weekends was a big reason why I’ve gotten here. You get a lot of help at the weekend shows and you learn a lot,” he explained. Buntin, 28, reached his Hall of Fame milestone at a weekend show, where he was showing Tricks On You (Smooth As A Cat x Trick Pepto x Peptoboonsmal) for Frank and Bonnie Martin in the novice classes. “Glen Beveridge, and his wife, Danielle, knew I was within dollars of $1 million. They also entered me on Smart Scootin Rio (Bobs Hickory Rio x Smart Lucy Scoot x Smart Lil Scoot), just so I would have a second horse in that class.” Buntin finished first and second, earning enough to put him over the million-dollar mark. “A big thing about this sport for me is the camaraderie between the trainers and the friends you make,” he said. “I’m grateful for my friends—Tim Smith, Gavin Jordan, Morgan Cromer, Mike Wood, Eric Wisehart, Brent Erickson—they’ve helped me a lot. Definitely a key in my success has been having this group of trainers that support each other. “Eric [Wisehart] is a great friend. We started about the same time and we’ve grown up doing this together. We truly have a desire to help each other improve. That’s better than any of the money.” Buntin also credits his wife, Tessa, for his success. They married young; he was barely 17 and she was 19. “My life wouldn’t be anywhere the same without my wife,” Buntin said. “She’s phenomenal.” The couple now has an 8-month-old son, Riggs, making Monty look forward to the next chapter in his story. “I think more important than major accomplishments, I’ve had a lot of small victories, and they’ve been all because of the owners and the people that have supported me,” he said. “I’m very, very grateful for all the owners and the feeling they’ve given me that part of their goal in this industry has been to help me achieve mine.”

C
hris Hanson wasn’t born into the cutting world, but he got into it as quickly as he could. Originally from Rogersville, Tennessee, Hanson started cutting when his family moved to Texas. Now 30 years old, the resident of Aledo has received the honor of being inducted into the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame. Prior to his first job loping horses, Hanson did anything he could just
56
to be around horses. Mostly that consisted of cleaning stalls, feeding and riding whenever possible. “I’d been around Russell Harrison when Jonathan Rogers was there. I started out just kind of cleaning stalls there with him, and I got to see them around the cutting quite a bit,” Hanson said. “It just interested me a lot. They let me ride just a little bit, and then we went back home to Tennessee. When
we came back, Dillon [Crumpler] was hiring, so it just kind of worked out to go over there to actually start loping horses and learn a little bit.” Hanson was 17 years old when he started working for Crumpler. A year later, he moved to Jon Burgess’ place, where he stayed for three years. He then went out on his own, but Burgess’ impact on his program continues to influence it nearly 10 years later. “Jon Burgess took the most time with me of anybody,” Hanson said. “I worked for him for three or four years, and he really taught me the most as far as breaking colts and giving me a foundation. “Michael Cooper was another one who always really took time to help me and tried to help me advance,” Hanson added. One of Hanson’s biggest achievements to date was winning the 2014 NCHA Futurity John Deere Limited Open with Metallic Mandy (Metallic Cat x Playin With Pep x Freckles Playboy), a mare owned at the time by John and Hope Mitchell. After that, Hanson found more success when he rode Fancy Rey (Dual Rey x Poosmal x Peptoboonsmal) to fifth place in the 2019 NCHA Open World standings. That season included the Make Cutting Great Again event in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he and the mare, who is owned by Charles Burger, marked a 227 in the finals to win the $15,000 Open. Hanson, now an earner of $1.1 million, was excited to cross the $1 million threshold and land in the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame. He’s not settling there, though. “It’s definitely a goal that I think everybody starts out to want to get to, so it sure feels good to get there,” Hanson said. “Everybody’s biggest dream I think is to try to win the [NCHA] Futurity, but to win [an Open] event in Will Rogers is probably my next step that I would like to achieve.”

RIDERS HALL OF FAME
Bruce Morine
Consistency has been the name of the game for Bruce Morine, to be inducted into the Riders Hall of Fame at 61 years of age. BY KRISTIN PITZER
F
ifty years after attending his first show in 1970, Bruce Morine has officially crossed the million-dollar milestone in rider earnings, securing him a place in the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame. At 61 years of age, he estimates he’s one of the oldest to be inducted these days. “It means a lot,” Morine said. “I’ll be completely honest—it was a relief 58
to finally get there. It doesn’t matter how you get there or how long it takes. There’s a lot people that I have tons of respect for that haven’t accomplished that, so it is definitely a big deal.” Morine, who has trained cutting horses since about 1979, learned horsemanship from his dad, Nevin, who at the age of 91 lives near his home in Weatherford, Texas. Morine
credited Nevin as one of “the greatest horsemen I’ve ever known,” saying he gave him his start. Morine has been married to his high school sweetheart, Kathy, for 39 years. The pair moved from their hometown of Princeton, Illinois, to Central Texas in the mid-1980s, only to relocate back to Illinois when Morine went to work for Lach Perks, current NCHA Executive Committee member and Non-Pro Hall of Fame inductee. The Morines lived in Illinois for another 17 years, but in 2004, they moved to Perks’ ranch in Weatherford, along with their daughters Sarah, now 36, and Alyssa, 31. Both are competitive cutters. In 2000, Morine and Perks showed Stella Starlight (Grays Starlight x Torsion Girl x Tivios Torsion Bar) at the NCHA Futurity, where Perks won the Non-Pro and Morine placed fifth in the Open. That mare became a foundation in both Perks’ breeding and Morine’s training programs, producing offspring that helped Morine accomplish one of the main goals for his career—being a consistent finalist at aged events. With all of the experience he’s garnered through the years, Morine said his biggest influences besides his dad have been his friends, many of whom are younger than he. He added that staying current and competitive at his age has been a challenge, but it’s one that he’s accepted with an open mind. “You’ve got to evolve with the times, and training styles have changed a lot through the years,” he said. “It’s kind of the old adage, ‘If you don’t go with it, you’re left behind.’ I’ve seen quite an evolution in cutting horses and styles. Cattle have also changed a lot through the years, so that kind of makes that evolution of training have to occur. “Really, we’ve done a lot of it as a family,” he added. “That’s been a big part of my career, and helping Lach Perks and the multitude of other nonpros, amateurs and youth I’ve worked with through the years. That’s kind of what keeps you going.”

Andy Sherrerd
The journey has truly been the reward for this Nebraska-raised trainer. BY JENNIFER HORTON
F
or Andy Sherrerd, reaching the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame is more a result of a successful journey rather than a destination on his map. “Obviously, it’s a big milestone,” he said of the honor. “But I would not say it’s something that I really pointed to. “I think it’s pretty much all about the horse. Everyone wants to do good and win. And when you spend all day and night with those horses, you just try to do as good as you can do. Whatever happens, happens.” Raised in Nebraska, Sherrerd didn’t ride a horse until he was 16. The son of a third-generation optometrist, he began his career when 60
he took a job with National Reining Horse Association Hall of Fame trainer Doug Milholland, and began riding reining horses. “I rode there for nine years as assistant trainer,” said Sherrerd. “I wasn’t eligible for the limited open anymore and was showing second-string horses, so it became time to move on.” Sherrerd didn’t have to look far. Frank Merrill lived across the street and needed some help, so the young trainer started working for him part-time, getting horses broke. “He let me start working a few cutters, and that’s where I started training cutting horses,” said Sherrerd. “It was just kind of by accident, but I ended up working for
him for 10 years. That was about 18 years ago, and here I am now.” Sherrerd’s training operation now is definitely a family affair. His wife, Stephanie, along with their two sons, are able to spend a lot of quality time in the barn together. The boys, 12 and 14, are both home-schooled, allowing them to work and travel in the family business. It’s clearly important to Sherrerd as a family man. “The biggest part of our business is non-pros and amateurs,” said Sherrerd. “I have a really good group of people that ride with me. “Ten years ago, I was pretty sure it was all about me in the Open. In the last 10 years, I have really figured out it’s as enjoyable, or more enjoyable, training a good horse for those customers that will cut for them.” His philosophy, he said, is to “take care of the people and you’ll have plenty of horses and have plenty to do.” Sherrerd calls Carolena Moon (Peptoboonsmal x Lenas Sissy Moon x Doc O’Lena) the first really good horse he trained, for Megan (Merrill) Miller. The 1999 mare has $76,149 in lifetime earnings. “When I went on my own, one of the first horses I got was Smooth Catamaran (Smooth As A Cat x Hollys Little Smarty x Smart Little Lena). That was a horse I made the Futurity Open finals on. She came at a very good time, when I first started on my own. She was pretty important.” Draggin A Hawk (EBR Kitty Hawk x Tina Moria Lena x Tina Bars Peppy), was another horse Sherrerd credits for his success. In addition to the gelding’s NCHA LTE of $125,094, Andy rode him to the 2018 AQHA Senior Cutting World Championship. The humble Sherrerd appreciates everyone who helped him along in his journey, and he feels lucky to do what he does for a living. “There’s tons of people along the way that helped me,” he said. “I always tell everybody that we’re riding horses and chasing cows, we’re not doing brain surgery or feeding the hungry. We’re fortunate to be able to do what we do and make a living. It’s a fairly crazy way to make a living, but if we didn’t love it, we wouldn’t do it.”

NCHA SPOTLIGHT
The Martins
A family that cuts together grows together BY RICK MAUCH
I
n the Martin family, cutting is simply a part of life. And while they wouldn’t have it any other way, it is the family life that will always take top priority. “I believe that because of the family tradition of horses that my family is tied stronger together,” said 17-yearold Levi. “My family and I spend a lot of time together because of the horses. Whether we are traveling on the road to a show or spending a week at one, we are all trying to do our part to make things work well and keep this a part of our lives. “I would love it if one of these days I have a family of my own, to raise my children in this and instill the same values that I have learned because of this lifestyle.” The Martin family tradition runs deep. Levi has enjoyed much success on the youth circuit. His dad, Sonny Martin, is a trainer, director, and judge in the National Cutting Horse 66
Association, and his mother, Andrea, recently joined Sonny in a return to showing. His grandfather, Larry, made several NCHA World Finals and is a preacher. And his younger sisters, 14-year-old twins Emma and Anna, have enjoyed success at the youth level. “I love the children following the family tradition,” Sonny said. “Cutting has helped us to provide a good basic foundation for our children’s lives, to teach them many life lessons. We have been able to teach them a good work ethic, and help them to set goals to achieve in life. “It has helped us to reveal to them life beyond our small town of Steelville, Missouri, but we are still in a safe environment. People who are in the cutting world generally have a great set of values. Cutting has allowed them to learn about sacrifice in life and how to practice faith in situations that seem overwhelming. It drives home to my children that our futures all rest
in the hands of God and we our all instruments for his use.” Levi said his grandfather’s strong faith has been instrumental in how he is shaping his own life. “My grandpa has put a strong faith in God in my life by actually living his walk with God daily in front of me,” Levi said. “He has taught me that if you want something you must work hard for it; it will not be laid in your lap. Grandpa has encouraged me to always give honor to God and be respectful in everything I do. He has showed me that a man can walk through this life successfully with help from God.” While his dad and grandfather began their cutting careers as adults a couple of decades back, Levi got started at the age of 4. All members of the family have enjoyed success in their respective careers, including such highlights as: • Levi won the NYCHA Area 25 Senior Youth competition and reached the finals in Senior Youth at the NCHA Western Nationals this past year. He finished in the top 10 at Eastern Nationals in 2017. • In 2017, Sonny was the American Quarter Horse Association Senior Cutting Level 2 World Champion. He was the 2018 AQHA Junior Cutting Level 2 World Champion and the Reserve Champion for the AQHA Senior Cutting Level 2. He reached the $5,000 Novice finals at the 2019 Western Nationals. • In 2013, Larry finished ninth in the world in the $15,000 Amateur, and qualified for the World Finals in 2014 and 2015. He finished fifth in the $50,000 Amateur in 2015. He’s also been a finalist at Eastern Nationals multiple times. • Emma made the top 10 in Novice Junior Youth competition at the 2017 Western Nationals and was the NCHA Challenger High Point in 2018 in the Eastern Missouri Cutting Horse Association. • Anna was a 2017 Junior Youth finalist in the Scholarship Cutting,

the 2017 Novice Youth Junior Reserve Champion, tied for fourth at Eastern Nationals in 2018, and was a 2018 Western Nationals finalist. “The family tradition of working with horses has helped us to learn to work hard,” Anna said. “Cutting has allowed us to spend a lot of time with our family, which we enjoy. Lots of kids don’t have this chance.” And no matter how competitive they are, family always comes first. “Yes, we push each other and cheer each other on,” Emma said. “We are very happy when the other does well. We are all competitive, but we do not let that overtake the love for each other.” And each generation has encouraged the next. “My father has had a great influence on my life. It was his dream of cutting that actually sparked my interest,” Sonny said. “Growing up a preacher’s son, you see hands-on the amount of faith a person needs to have daily to walk through this life. He always encouraged us to take hold and follow our dreams, and cutting became that for me. “He also saw the benefits in raising his grandchildren in this discipline and pursued it with me.” For example, there have been many times when going to a show was a road trip for Levi and his grandfather because Sonny had obligations that took him elsewhere. “My father would [take him], no matter the distance or what obstacles they met along the way,” Sonny said. “Cutting has been a great platform in which to mold our children into the adults that I hope for them to be one day,” Andrea said. “This sort of life demands sacrifice, but offers great rewards in the long run. When Sonny and I started out 20 years ago we were young, newly married, and learning. We did a lot of spending and not a lot of earning in the beginning. “Cutting, at points, can be discouraging, but I always felt like I needed to be the voice in my husband’s ear that this time will pass and things will start looking up,” she added. “I wanted to help him achieve what he set out to do.
“I wanted my children to grow up around people who were wholesome and knew how to work. The cutting pen has taught them to be diligent, to work hard, to set goals and to strive to attain them. It has showed them moments where they are on top of the mountains and moments where they feel low in the valley. “This life has allowed me to spend a considerable amount of time with my children and husband, and I feel extremely blessed.” Larry said his interest in cutting evolved from a love of the sport that still supported the western heritage by which his own grandfather lived.
Cutting has helped us to provide a good basic foundation for our children’s lives, to teach them many life lessons.”
— Sonny Martin “A lot of the gentleman that I met along the way were men who supported the same work ethic and grit of the men that I looked up to as I grew up, such as Matlock Rose,” Larry said. “He was very firm in the things he stood for and believed in. I gained a great respect for him and formed a friendship with Matlock and his wife, Laverne, I will not forget.” While cutting didn’t take center stage until about 20 years ago, Sonny and his father both grew up around horses. It was a staple that bound the family together through its history. “Horses have always been a part of our lives,” Sonny said. “My greatgrandpa on my dad’s side was the beginning of our love and appreciation for horses. He was the one who instilled this in each and every one of us. “My father caught the cutting fever before I ever did. My brother, Todd, took on the roping horses and I picked up the cutting. After riding my first cutter I was hooked. Not
long after competing I went into it wholeheartedly and began training. I had a hunger to learn more and more. I realized that I wanted to raise up my children in this and pursued it strongly.” Levi credited his dad for the countless hours put in helping him begin his career at a young age. He said it was Sonny who instilled in him and his sisters a determination to always keep striving to improve. “He always tells us that the minute you feel like there is nothing more for you to learn is the minute you stay right where you are and go no further,” Levi said. “Flexibility is one of the greatest things he has taught me. We must be able to work with what we have and make the best of it. “The little mare, Riddle Me Rey, that I made the Classic Non-Pro Finals at the NCHA Summer Spectacular, was one of those horses that had slipped through the cracks. She definitely hadn’t earned what most of the horses had that I was competing against in the finals. But my dad worked with the mare, and then he taught me how to show her to get the best out of her. That was one of my favorite cutting experiences I have ever had.” And, of course, each member of the family is the other’s biggest cheerleader, such as when Levi is right there encouraging his younger sisters. “I love when my sisters do well. I love to cheer them on and encourage them at the shows. A lot of times we help each other out,” he said. “I am real thankful that God gave me twin sisters. They are double the help and double the fun.” Meanwhile, Larry is pleased his family is in the cutting discipline, and even more pleased that they have used it to bring them even closer together. “There are many things about this that I feel are good for me and my family,” he said. “I enjoy the time I get to spend in the working pen working with and learning from my son and grandchildren as they are constantly coaching, cheering me on, and giving me pointers. “Nothing makes me prouder than to see them all succeeding in the cutting pen. I am always one of their biggest fans and supporters.” APRIL 2020 • CUTTING HORSE CHATTER
