growth and Change

“Unless you continually work, evolve, and innovate, you’ll learn a quick and painful lesson from someone who has.”—Cael Sanderson, champion collegiate wrestler, coach, and motivational speaker

In a literal sense, wrestling and reined cow horse may not have much in common, but Sanderson’s concept is relevant to the National Reined Cow Horse Association as it grows, develops, and solidifies its position as a dynamic, innovative force in the equine industry. As we arrive in Reno, Nevada, for the 2016 Snaffle Bit Futurity, the most highly-anticipated Premier Event of the NRCHA’s show year, we are closing one chapter of our history and looking toward new horizons as the event moves to the heart of the performance horse industry, Fort Worth, Texas, beginning in 2017.

It is an exciting time to be connected to reined cow horses and the NRCHA. As we continue to evolve, broadening our scope and placing our thrilling event on a continually larger stage, the entire industry benefits. We have been described as a well-kept secret, and it is time to share with a larger population all the things that make the NRCHA great.

Our events can change to better serve our membership, without sacrificing the tradition upon which the association was founded. Generating additional enthusiasm, drawing larger crowds, growing our entries, and building bigger payouts can be accomplished without losing the unique close-knit community feel which makes our sport special and sets us apart from every other discipline in a positive way.

I am proud to be aligned with the exceptional group of people who make up the National Reined Cow Horse Association, and I wish everyone the very best of luck this year at the annual test of guts and glory that we call the Snaffle Bit Futurity.

All the best, Jay Winborn

From the NrChA PresideNt

Whether you are a competitor, owner, sponsor or spectator, all of us involved with the National Reined Cow Horse Association are glad to have you here in Reno for the Snaffle Bit Futurity. This is the largest of the NRCHA’s Premier Events, and the place where many of us first became hooked on the exciting sport of reined cow horse.

We constantly strive to make the Snaffle Bit Futurity experience better for everyone. This year, you will notice some new additions to the event lineup. Another NRCHA Premier Event, the Hackamore Classic, has been merged with the Futurity schedule. This was a decision by the Board of Directors to place the Hackamore Classic derby before a larger audience and encourage more of our great horses and riders to enter. We hope you enjoy the opportunity to watch the always-impressive display of hackamore horsemanship.

The AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge is back for a third year, and we are excited about having this popular event at the Futurity again. It’s a showcase for ranch-bred horses, and really goes back to the roots of our NRCHA competition.

Also there is a scheduling note for the Snaffle Bit Futurity Sales. The Classic Yearling and Broodmare Sale, typically

held on the Thursday before the Futurity Finals, has been moved to Friday, September 30, beginning at 11:00 a.m. in the indoor arena. The Performance Horse Sale and the Select Two-Year-Old Sale will follow the Classic Sale in their usual schedule positions on Friday. I want to encourage everyone to enjoy the fun and social opportunities connected with the Futurity. Part of this event’s appeal is the chance to experience one of the greatest aspects of our sport – the people. Reined cow horse folks take pride in being the friendliest, most supportive and most fun in the equine industry. I hope you will take time to reconnect with old friends and make new ones during social events like the annual Hall of Fame Banquet, the Draw Party and the various other receptions that give us a chance to relax and enjoy each other’s company. And of course, don’t miss great shopping at the Best of the West Trade Show.

If this is your first time at the Snaffle Bit Futurity, welcome. If you’ve been coming here for many years, welcome back! I wish all the competitors good luck, and invite everyone to enjoy the experience.

What are the judges looking for in the next Snaffle Bit futurity Champion?

Here is a breakdown of the three events.

It’s show time! Nowhere in the world of equestrian sport will you find more spine-tingling action than in the reined cow horse arena. These finely tuned equine athletes will dazzle you with their athleticism, cow sense, courage and finesse.

The three-year-old horses in the Snaffle Bit Futurity are judged in herd work, rein work and cow work. Contestants in the ancillary horse show classes – hackamore, two-rein and bridle – are judged in rein work and cow work only.

HeRD WORK

In this event, one horse and rider enters a group of cattle, separates a single animal, and then prevents it from returning to the herd. The horse should step into the herd willingly and quietly, sorting out one cow without disturbing the rest. There is a two-and-a-half minute time limit for each run, and two or three cattle are worked during that time.

Judges are impressed by horses that display exceptional courage while holding a difficult cow, work on a loose rein with a bright, alert expression, maintain proper position on the cow and spend the majority of the two-and-a-half minutes holding a cow out front.

Judges also will deduct for losing a cow, failure to control the cow, insuf-

ficient working time, low degree of difficulty, or lack of eye appeal.

ReiN WORK

The rein work is the only phase of cow horse competition that does not involve a cow. Sometimes described as the equestrian equivalent of figure skating, horse and rider perform a pattern with specific maneuvers: fast and slow circles, lead changes, spins, sliding stops and backing up. In the reined work, judges look for a horse that is willingly guided, with little or no apparent resistance. Points are deducted for disobedience or deviation from

the pattern, while credit is earned if the maneuvers are performed with extra speed and finesse in a manner that is pleasing to watch.

COW WORK

The cow work, also called the fence work, is the final, adrenalin-fueled stage of reined cow horse competition. Fortunes can rise and fall in a split second during this fast paced event, and the outcome of the Snaffle Bit Futurity is not certain until the fence work is complete. The key to a good score is maintaining control of the cow at all times.

Mr Shiney lights (CD lights x lil Miss Shiney Chex x Shining Spark), shown by NRCHA Professional Nicolas Barthelemy and owned by Sheri Jamieson, la Jolla, California, had the high-scoring herd work, a 222, in the 2015 futurity Open preliminaries. Barthelemy and Mr Shiney lights also captured the 2015 futurity intermediate Open Championship.

After horse and rider enter the arena, a single cow is pushed through the gate at the opposite end. The horse must first “box” the cow, or hold it at the end of the arena, maintaining control and staying in proper working position. Next, when the rider decides the time is right, he allows the cow to run down the long side of the arena and turns it on the wall. This first turn must take place after the center marker, but before the first penalty marker near the corner. Horse and rider must turn the cow a second time in the other direction, and may make additional turns on the fence before taking the cow into the open arena and maneuvering it in a 360-degree circle each way.

The most controlled cow work, with the highest degree of difficulty and the best form, scores the highest.

SCORiNG

Five judges are scoring the action at the Snaffle Bit Futurity. They all have the NRCHA’s highest 3A judge’s credential: Chris Benedict, Weatherford, Texas; Doug Ingersoll, Lincoln, California; Bozo Rogers, Gainesville, Texas; Jimmy Stickler, San Luis Obispo, California; and Smoky Pritchett, Red Bluff, California.

The high score and low score are thrown out, and the remaining three scores are added up to achieve the final score. For example, if a horse receives a score of 219, he averaged a 73 from each judge.

All events are scored using a plus and minus system for each maneuver. If a rider incurs penalty points, they are deducted from the overall score.

A score of 70 is considered average. Each contestant begins with a 70 as soon as they enter the arena. Each maneuver receives a plus, a zero, or a minus from the judge. Plus indicates

an above-average performance, zero means it was done correctly, and minus means a below-average maneuver.

Anything above 70 means horse and rider earned credit during the run, while a score below 70 means something went wrong; either the maneuver quality was poor or penalties were incurred.

top: Hez the Kats Meow (Bet Hesa Cat x Miss lucky Starlight x Grays Starlight), shown by Clinton Anderson and owned by lynn thomas, topped the 2015 futurity Open rein work preliminaries with a 224 score.

Above: Cats Picasso (Metallic Cat x Playboys Vixen x Hickoryote), shown by horseman John Swales for owner Robbie McKay, earned a 224 to win the 2015 futurity Open cow work preliminaries. they tied for third place in the futurity Open finals.

NatioNal reiNed Cow horSe aSSoCiatioN SeleCtS New SNaffle Bit futurity VeNue

the nrCha’s largest Premier event moves to Fort Worth, texas, in 2017.

after months of deliberation, the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) Board of Directors has announced the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity, one of the largest and most prestigious events in the Western performance horse industry, will be held at the historic Will Rogers Equestrian Center in Fort Worth, Texas, beginning in 2017. The NRCHA has committed to hold the Snaffle Bit Futurity in Fort Worth for the next three years, through 2019.

In December 2015, the NRCHA announced it was seeking a community partner to host the Snaffle Bit Futurity in 2017 and beyond. More than a dozen facilities made initial contact after the public request for proposal. Four facilities—located in Denver, Fort Worth, Reno, and Scottsdale—submitted complete written bids detailing suitability and interest. The NRCHA outlined specific selection criteria, including facility location and amenities; availability of incentive and sponsorship money; and reasonable access to cattle.

the nrCha snaffle Bit Futurity relocates from reno, nevada, to Fort Worth, texas, in 2017.

“The Board took its time with this decision. All the proposals we received were attractive, with Fort Worth providing the most appealing package overall. The Will Rogers facility was much more affordable than the other locations, as far as what it is charging the NRCHA to hold the Futurity there. The amenities, cattle supply, and the central location in a great city like Fort Worth, convinced the Board that it would be the ideal home for the Snaffle Bit Futurity,” said NRCHA President Todd Bergen, Eagle Point, Oregon.

Further adding to Fort Worth’s appeal was a substantial Futurity added money offer from a group of reined cow horse owners, breeders, exhibitors, and professionals, representing all regions of the U.S. This coalition supported the Fort Worth location by pledging a large bonus to the payout for three years if

the Futurity moved there. The bonus added money currently stands at six figures and growing, as more supporters join the effort.

“This additional money means we will be awarding the 2017 through 2019 Futurity Open Champion a check for $125,000, as compared to our traditional $100,000 payout,” said NRCHA Vice-President Paul Bailey, Sparta, Tennessee. “Furthermore, it is our hope that this funding will allow us to award all the Futurity Open finalists a check for at least $10,000, as well as increase the payout for the Futurity Non-Pro divisions.”

Besides the venue change, the 2017 Snaffle Bit Futurity will also come with a date change, tentatively scheduled for October 1-14. Exhibitors can also look forward to a more forgiving show schedule, because the NRCHA will

have access to the entire Will Rogers Equestrian Center complex, including all show, warm-up and sale arenas, barns, and exhibit space. This will permit the association to streamline the schedule to better accommodate participants and spectators, while continuing to offer an exciting lineup of Snaffle Bit Futurity Horse Sales and a vibrant shopping experience at the popular trade show.

“We anticipate growth across the board at the Snaffle Bit Futurity in 2017 and beyond,” Bergen said. “Moving to Fort Worth puts our biggest event in the middle of the country, within easier reach for participants, and we are expecting growth in entries. As if the Futurity didn’t give a reined cow horse fan enough reason to come to Fort Worth in early October, that time of year usually means wonderful weather, not to mention all the recreational and cultural opportunities outside the show arena.”

Bergen emphasized the gravity of the Board’s decision to relocate the Futurity from its historic home on the West Coast. While the California cities of Fresno and Sacramento have both been host sites, Reno has been home to the majority of Snaffle Bit Futurities.

“There is an emotional attachment to the Snaffle Bit Futurity being a West Coast event, and I believe all of us on the Board acknowledge the history with Reno. The Board labored long and hard over this decision. We were very engaged in the process of trying to ensure that we chose what was in the best interest of the NRCHA for its future growth. We look to the future with optimism, feeling as if we have taken a positive step for the entire association,” Bergen said.

the nrCha looks forward to having access to the entire Will rogers equestrian Center complex.

reno 2016 = Two Premier evenTS in one

the NRCHA Hackamore Classic runs in conjunction with the 2016 Snaffle Bit futurity.

Fans of traditional vaquero horsemanship will enjoy a special treat at the 2016 Snaffle Bit Futurity in Reno, Nevada. For the first time, another NRCHA Premier Event, the Hackamore Classic, will run simultaneously with the Snaffle Bit Futurity.

The hackamore represents the second stage of the years-long training process, which results in a finished bridle horse. At the Hackamore Classic, 4- and 5-year-old horses are shown in the hackamore, the traditional bitless headgear consisting of a bosal; a braided noseband usually made of rawhide or leather; and a closed rein, braided rope called a mecate. The customary mecate material is horse hair, but mohair or synthetics are also used and legal in the show pen.

Hackamore Classic horses are judged in three events: herd work, rein work and cow work. Champions are determined after a single go-round in those three events—there are no finals. The Hackamore Classic offers ten divisions for Open, Non Pro, Amateur and Non Pro Limited (herd/rein/boxing) riders.

Before moving to Reno and pairing up with the Futurity in 2016, the Hackamore Classic was held at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo, Colorado, from 2012-2015. At various times in its history, the Hackamore Classic has found a home in Paso Robles, California (20042011); Winnemucca, Nevada (20022003); and Rancho Murieta, California (2000-2001).

The NRCHA Board of Directors voted last August to hold the Hackamore Classic with the Futurity in 2016.

“Our biggest audience, both competitors and spectators, is at the Snaffle Bit Futurity. I am excited about presenting our hackamore horses there. Reined cow horse fans really like the hackamore, and the Futurity is a perfect showcase for that phase of our traditional training process. For competitors, it should be a better experience all the way around. We expect the entries to go up quite a bit, which means a larger payout. The Livestock Events Center is an excellent facility, and everyone will have more time to prepare their horses, which can be a big deal when you’re showing in the hackamore,” said NRCHA President Todd Bergen.

The Hackamore Classic Open herd work is the first order of business on the 2016 Reno schedule. It will be held Sunday, September 18, in the outdoor rodeo arena. The remainder of the Hackamore Classic competition for Open, Non Pro and Non Pro Limited riders is distributed throughout the schedule, wrapping up with cow work, and crowning of champions in all divisions, on September 26. With $42,000 added to the Hackamore Classic, the caliber of competition will be high.

According to “The Legendary California Hackamore and Stock Horse,” a book written by NRCHA Hall of Fame Horseman Bobby Ingersoll, the hackamore was the first step in training the cow horses of yesteryear. Vaqueros would begin their colts’ education with the hackamore, teaching them the fundamentals of stopping, turning and moving so they could effectively perform their daily ranch chores.

“In that era there were no horse shows, and the vaqueros had no reason to hurry through the training process,” Ingersoll wrote. He further explained in his book that a horse would traditionally spend four or five years in the hackamore before it progressed to wearing a bridle in addition to a hackamore, known as the two rein stage of training. When the horse understood the cues well enough to forgo the hackamore and wear a spade bit alone, it was considered “straight up in the bridle,” a finished bridle horse, the most prized mount of the time.

Shawn Hays, Nocona, texas, won the 2015 Hackamore Classic open Championship in Pueblo, Colorado, riding Red River Rivalry (Soula Jule Star x Shiners miss lena x Shining Spark), a stallion owned by his wife, tammy Jo Hays, and father-in-law, Walter Greeman.

Although her life was sadly cut short, the 2015 Snaffle Bit futurity open Champion, Starlight Kisses, earned a permanent place in NRCHA history.

when National Reined Cow Horse Association Million-Dollar Rider Jake Telford won the 2015 Snaffle Bit Futurity Open Championship aboard Starlight Kisses (Shady Lil Starlight x Kiss My Shiny Lips x Shining Spark), it represented a pinnacle moment in his career.

“It’s been a dream for so long, and it’s finally a dream come true,” an emotional Telford said, following the win. In the Futurity Open finals, he guided Starlight Kisses to an impressive 656 composite score (216 herd/218.5 rein/221.5 cow) to win the $100,000 first-place paycheck.

Starlight Kisses was bred and owned by NRCHA sponsor Holy Cow Performance Horses, with locations in Santa Ynez, California, and Weatherford, Texas. The successful reined cow horse, cutting horse and reining horse program, owned and operated by Nancy Crawford-Hall and her husband, Phil, also owns Starlight Kisses’ sire and dam, Shady Lil Starlight

(Grays Starlight x Shady Little Cat x High Brow Cat) and Kiss My Shiny Lips (Shining Spark x Lipschic x Smart Chic Olena).

Years before Starlight Kisses was born, both her sire and dam were successfully shown by Telford. He guided Shady Lil Starlight to the majority of his nearly $69,000 in NRCHA money, achieving his Supreme Reined Cow Horse title in 2009. Telford also piloted Kiss My Shiny

“It’s extremely special to ride one that you’ve rode both their parents. I can’t tell you how much it means to ride one that’s homegrown,” Telford said.

family. i love her,” Jake telford said, soon after this heartfelt moment with the 2015 Snaffle Bit futurity Champion, Starlight Kisses, a mare he trained and showed for breeder/ owner Holy Cow performance Horses.

productive career as a show horse and broodmare. Sadly, tragedy struck at the end of April 2016, when the petite, stylish mare sustained a rectal tear during a breeding procedure. The complications proved fatal.

Her passing was a tragic and heartbreaking loss for Crawford-Hall and the Holy Cow Performance Horses program, and for Telford, who said he felt a unique bond and friendship with the mare whose sensible mind and tremendous heart carried him to the winner’s circle.

“Her mental game, and the effort she puts forth for me, is 110 percent every time I step in the pen,” Telford said following the Futurity win.

In a memorial advertisement and Facebook post following the loss of her beloved horse, Nancy Crawford-Hall said, “I was so proud that Ferrari won the most prestigious event in the reined cow horse world, especially because she was homebred and raised. It doesn’t get any better than that! I am devastated and will miss her for the rest of my days.”

Open reServe ChampiOn

When up-and-coming NRCHA professional Erin Taormino arrived in Reno, she had approximately $79,000 in reined cow horse earnings and had made the Futurity Open finals once, in 2014. By the time the 2015 Open finals were over, she had more than doubled those earnings, made one of the highestscoring fence works on a 3-year-old in Snaffle Bit Futurity history—a 228—and become only the second female rider in NRCHA history to claim the Futurity Open Reserve Championship. She rode Plain Wright (Hes Wright On x Isabellena x Quejanaisalena), bred and owned by Garth and Amanda Gardiner of Gardiner Quarter Horses, Ashland, Kansas, to a 655.5 (213.5 herd/214 rein/228 cow), earning $80,000.

The pair also qualified for the Intermediate Open finals, where they placed 8th, earning $4,150.

“It’s surreal,” a teary-eyed, jubilant Taormino said, describing her 2015 Futurity experience as “a long two weeks.

There have been a lot of ups and downs, and one fast fence work, but it’s all been worth it, absolutely.”

Taormino becomes the fourth female competitor to place third or higher in the Futurity Open. The other three are all NRCHA Hall of Fame members. In 1986, Dema Paul became the first woman to break into the Futurity Open top three, placing third on Docs Jesse, (Docs Poco Bar x Hi Kicks x Apollo King Pistol), a horse she owned with her husband, Jim Paul, Sr., who is also in the Hall of Fame. In 1993, Sandy Collier became the only woman to win the Futurity Open Championship, riding Miss Rey Dry (Dry Doc x Starlita Sequin x Rey Jay), owned by David and Paula Hunsicker. In 2001, Collier and Diamond J Star (Grays Starlight x Diamond J Playgirl x Freckles Playboy) tied for the Futurity Open Reserve Championship with NRCHA Million-Dollar Rider Bob Avila aboard Gunnalena (Playgun x Cherlena x Doc O’Lena). In 2012, the NRCHA Hall of Fame horsewoman and Million-Dollar

“i was worried it wasn’t enough cow, but she’s so stylish, they marked me enough that it worked out,” telford said, describing the 221.5 fence work score that sealed the futurity Open Championship, the first of his career.

“my horse felt great, and it was amazing,” erin taormino said of the incredible 228 fence work that netted plain Wright the futurity Open reserve Championship for owner/breeders Garth and amanda Gardiner.

Rider Anne M. Reynolds placed third in the Futurity Open aboard Very Black Magic (Very Smart Remedy x Magical Lena x Little Lenas Legend).

Since 2010, support from NRCHA Corporate Partner CINCH has made it possible for the Futurity Intermediate Open Champion to take home an impressive $30,000 check. Simi Valley, California, professional Nicolas Barthelemy won the CINCH Intermediate Open title by a 7.5 point margin aboard Mr Shiney Lights (CD Lights x Lil Miss Shiney Chex x Shining Spark), owned by Sheri Jamieson.

Barthelemy guided the smooth-moving, athletic stallion to a 661.5 composite score (219.5 herd/217 rein/225 cow) to claim the title. The win elevated Barthelemy’s lifetime NRCHA earnings well above the $125,000 mark.

“It feels great. It feels awesome,” Barthelemy said, following the win. The Intermediate Open showcased a com-

petitive field of finalists, and after the first two events, more than one rider had a shot at first place money.

“In the fence work, I knew I was going to have to have a solid run, because there were some awesome riders. I knew I had the horse for it, and it was just a matter of putting it all together,” Barthlemy said.

The strong 225 fence work by Mr Shiney Lights was the high score of the

Intermediate Open finals, and consistent performance is something Barthelemy has come to expect from the stallion.

“He’s a horse that is really good in all three events. When you show a horse like that, you feel confident. He’s an awesome fence horse. I can’t say I trained him down the fence. I showed him what to do and he pretty much took the job and said he can do it better. The herd and rein work, he’s just good at it. That’s what you need these days to compete against riders like we have and horses like we have. You need a horse like that—and I got one,” Barthelemy said, laughing.

He picked out Mr Shiney Lights for Jamieson when the stallion was a yearling, from his breeders Winston Hansma and Danny Motes, who own Mr Shiney Lights’ sire, CD Lights. Mr Shiney Lights’ dam side is well known throughout the industry — his dam, Lil Miss Shiney Chex (Shining Spark x Little Miss Smarty Chex x Smart Little Lena), was a brilliant performer and producer whose champion offspring include the 2015 NRCHA Stakes Open Champion

mr Shiney lights is a talented athlete, but trainer Nicolas Barthelemy says his biggest asset is his attitude. “He’s a great minded horse. He’s happy,” Barthelemy said. He guided the stallion to the CiNCH intermediate open Championship for owner Sheri Jamieson.

“Winston took me to look at the yearlings and right away, he stood out. He allowed us to buy him. Since then, the training has been really easy. It’s been fun. He’s a great minded horse, he’s happy, he’s fun to go work every day. That makes a difference. when you have three events in one day, and they’re tired, they’ve been here for two weeks, and you have a horse that is just happy to be here and wants to do his job, I can’t be more grateful. He has all the talent, but what makes him stand out is his mind. He’s a great minded horse. That’s why I think he’s going to last. He’s not a one-trick pony. We’re going to see a lot of him in the future,” Barthelemy said.

He thanked Jamieson for her unwavering support, trust, and willingness to keep him mounted on outstanding horses.

“Sheri is such an awesome client, and a great person. I can never win enough for her to equal what she has done for me, but every time I am able to win for her, I am just really happy,” Barthelemy said.

The last time Sarah Dawson made the Snaffle Bit Futurity Intermediate Open and Limited Open finals, it was 2008. She was 18 years old, and known by her maiden name, Sarah Winters. That year, she showed Jaimes Rockstar (Shine With A Twist x Jaime Commander x Hesa Commander) to the Limited Open Reserve Championship and placed 6th in the Intermediate.

Fast forward to 2015 when Dawson, 25, was now an established NRCHA professional working alongside her husband, top reined cow horse trainer Chris Dawson. She won the Futurity Limited

Open Championship and took Reserve in the Intermediate, riding Shine Smarter (WR This Cats Smart x Shiney Tari x Shining Spark), a fancy flaxen-haired mare owned by her parents, Richard and Cheryl Winters.

Dawson and “Juliette” scored a total of 654 points (217.5 herd/213.5 rein/223 cow), collecting the $12,419 Limited Open Championship paycheck and another $15,000 for Reserve in the Intermediate.

“I’m so proud of that mare. It feels awesome. I’m so happy for her that she was able to get that recognition. It feels pretty great,” Dawson said. “I got her from [her breeder, Carol Rose] when she was a yearling, and sold her to my parents as a 2-year-old. I’ve had her the whole time. She’s an awesome mare. She never has a bad day, she always comes out with a proverbial smile on her face. She’s a joy to be around and I love her to death.”

Juliette also carried Dawson to her first Futurity Open finals, where they earned an impressive 5th place finish, scoring a 650 (217 herd/216 rein/217 cow), worth another $40,000.

“She’s a three event horse. She’s strong in all three, and one that gives you con-

fidence in all three events is special, because there’s not very many of them like that,” Dawson said. “I have to say thank you to my parents. It’s their mare — thank you for giving me the opportunity to show her, and thank you to Chris for being the best set of eyes anyone could have, and the best husband anyone could have.”

The scores in the preliminary round also determined the Champion in the Level 1 Limited Open, a division for riders with no more than $15,000 in NRCHA limited age event earnings. Roosters Pistolena (Gallo Del Cielo x Mss Boomerchex x Mr Boomerjac), shown by Lee Deacon and owned by CDJ Performance Horses, scored a total 635.5 (208 herd/215 rein/212.5 cow) to win the Level 1 title and earn a spot in the Limited Open finals.

An Australian native, Deacon operates Deacon Equine in Marietta, Oklahoma, with his wife, Ashley, also a professional trainer. He and the mare earned $7,425 for the championship. “First, I have to thank God. I wouldn’t be here, or able to

accomplish any of this without what He has done for me,” Deacon said.

His primary objective was a finals berth in the Limited Open, and Deacon said the Level 1 title was a happy side effect.

“My goal all year has been to make the Limited finals. I didn’t even think about the Level 1, and then it just all happened, and it’s been great. It’s awesome,” he said, smiling. “This whole process is so tough mentally, and I was so nervous on her, and I got down the fence good, and had trouble with my second set of circles, because I got around the first set and just relaxed and said, ‘We’re good!’ And then it’s like ‘Oh, you better go catch that cow!’ So we had a little bobble there, but it’s been great fun.”

In the Limited Open finals, Deacon and Roosters Pistolena scored a total of 633.5 points (210 herd/210.5 rien/213 cow), earning the 7th place check for $3,415.

in 2015, laurie Richards won the Discount tire futurity Non Pro Championship, the second of her career, on a horse with a strong family connection.

The 2015 Snaffle Bit Futurity Non Pro Champion, Laurie Richards, brought a lifetime of experience and a talented mount with a proven pedigree to Reno, but said winning the title was still a considerable challenge.

“It feels surreal and amazing!” Richards said. “I won the Non Pro Futurity in 2002,

and it’s taken me this long to do it again. It’s not easy.”

She won the second Futurity Non Pro title of her career aboard Kiss Me A Lot (Master Getta x Kiss Me A Little x Smart Little Pepinic), scoring a composite 649 (216 herd/214.5 rein/218.5 cow), to claim the $18,308 first-place paycheck. The win elevated Richards’ lifetime NRCHA earn-

ings past the $500,000 mark, and wrote another satisfying chapter in her long, continuing story with Kiss Me A Lot’s equine family. In 2006, Richards showed Kiss Me A Lot’s dam, Kiss Me A Little (Smart Little Pepinic x Kiss Me Mister x Mister Dual Pep), to the Snaffle Bit Futurity Non Pro Reserve Championship, and then went on to earn more than $100,000 with the mare. Another of Kiss Me A Lot’s relatives, her great granddam, Me O Lena (Doc O’Lena x Sens Me x Mr Sen Sen), was the 1981 Snaffle Bit Futurity Open Reserve Champion with Richards’ father, NRCHA Hall of Fame Horseman Ronnie Richards, in the saddle. Richards’ mother, Karin Richards, also showed Me O Lena successfully in the cutting horse arena.

“There’s a lot of family history. It’s a whole legacy,” she said. “When you raise them, I think you put a lot more time into making sure it works, because they’re your babies.”

Richards and Kiss Me A Lot, known in the barn as “Stevie,” or “Sweet Pea,” started their finals performance the right way, tying for the high score in the herd work with a 216. They followed up with a solid 214.5 rein work score to edge into the lead by a half-point, and then deci-

sively sealed the win with a 218.5 down the fence, the high score of the Non Pro finals.

“I expected her to be spot-on in the herd work because that’s probably her strongest — I thought before tonight that was her strongest point. She just does the herd work really well. In the rein work, she was a show horse. She went in there and tried really hard, and let me guide her, and then in the fence work, she was gritty and amazing,” Richards said.

The Non Pro Futurity divisions are sponsored by NRCHA Corporate Partner Discount Tire, whose support has made it possible to reward Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro, Novice Non Pro, Amateur and Non Pro Limited Futurity competitors with $100,000 in added money across all those divisions. Richards thanked Discount Tire and all the Futurity sponsors, as well as her family and friends, particularly her boyfriend, Randy Paul, and her fellow champion cow horse competitor, Anne Reynolds, for their support.

Terry Stuart Forst, Waurika, Oklahoma, has a generations-deep history with Seven S Indian Maid, the mare who carried her to the 2015 Futurity Non Pro Reserve Championship, the Intermediate Non Pro Championship and the Novice Non Pro Championship—a total $23,871 payday.

Forst’s 7S Stuart Ranch, the oldest ranch in the state of Oklahoma under continuous family ownership, is a historic cattle and Quarter Horse operation. Forst became its manager in 1992, taking over from her father, and has guided the ranch to increasing notoriety, earning accolades including the American Quarter Horse Association’s prestigious “Best of the Remuda” award in 1995. Forst became a

National Cowgirl Hall of Fame inductee in 2007.

She arrived in Reno with just over $33,000 in career NRCHA earnings, and was thrilled by the success aboard a home-raised horse that her son, NRCHA professional Robert Forst, prepared for her.

“I’m so proud of my son, because he trained my horse. I think the thing I’m most proud of is that this is part of our program. We’ve been breeding horses for 70 years. We’ve owned five or six generations of this mare’s family. That’s a really good feeling. It makes you feel like you’re doing something right, for once!” Forst said, laughing.

Her Non Pro finals appearance began with a strong 214 in the herd work. Some anxious moments followed her rein work when the judges announced they would review her 211 score. The last event, the fence work, Forst’s favorite, sealed her dual championships and sweet triple payday thanks to a score of 216 points good for a composite of 641 points.

“I thought we were good out of the herd. I got three cows cut pretty clean. The reining is where I struggle and that’s

one of my goals next year, to get past some of my demons there,” Forst said. “They reviewed the rein work score. She backed up after one stop. I guess I was a little nervous because I wasn’t exactly sure where my score was going to land. I was glad to keep that 211. I love going down the fence, and I have a really nice horse,” she added with a grin.

Seven S Indian Maid (Hickorys Indian Pep x Seven S Fiesta x Playgun) is a result of the 7S Stuart Ranch breeding program which seeks to produce a correct, talented, versatile, multipurpose athlete.

“We believe our show horses can be dual purpose. We strive to have a horse that is capable of withstanding whatever you choose to do with them. One thing we’ve tried to keep is our speed, agility and conformation, and just have a good horse that you can go use, or show, or enjoy,” Forst said.

It was an emotional win for Ravensdale, Washington, competitor Lyle Proctor, who guided his mare, SJR All Time Cash (One Time Pepto x Shesa Lota Cash x Nu Cash) to the 2015 Futurity

terry Stuart forst represented her 7S Stuart Ranch by riding a sixth-generation product of her breeding program, Seven S indian maid, to the futurity Non Pro Reserve Championship and dual titles in the intermediate and Novice Non Pro.

Amateur Championship, scoring a 636 (211 herd/216 rein/209 cow).

“In the herd work, we cut three very good cows. She was calm, we were able to get them cut clean, and just tried to get through it without any penalties and have a clean run,” said Proctor. “In the rein work, we had a little problem stopping her early in the morning. We ran her a little harder and man, she just got down and drug it good every time. She ran her circles real nice. She was very good in the rein work for me. Down the fence, I was extremely nervous because I knew I was leading at that point, and I didn’t want to mess it up. I just needed a clean run. We were a little long on the first turn but we came out of it clean, finished up nice and were able to win it. I’m extremely happy.”

The Amateur Championship is determined by the scores in the Non Pro preliminary round, and not only did Proctor and SJR All Time Cash claim the Amateur title, they also advanced to the finals in the Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro and Novice Non Pro divisions.

Proctor and SJR All Time Cash gathered up checks nearly everywhere they went. The Amateur Championship paid $5,460,

and their go-round money in the preliminaries added another $2,150 to that total. In the Non Pro finals, Proctor collected another $7,438 for placing 9th in the Non Pro, 7th in the Intermediate and 4th in the Novice. And finally, he and SJR All Time Cash won the Snaffle Bit Futurity Non Pro Yearling Sale Incentive, adding $928 to their avalanche of winnings.

It was Proctor’s second time to show a futurity horse in Reno.

“I had a colt here last year, my first time showing here, and he wasn’t the best but he was good for me to learn on. I decided last minute, around February, to try the Futurity again. Jim Spence [Proctor’s trainer, based in Yamhill, Oregon] and I went looking for a horse,” he said.

They rode a half-dozen or more, and found SJR All Time Cash in NRCHA Million-Dollar Rider Jake Telford’s program.

“She fit me the best out of all the horses I rode. She is very calm and easygoing. she doesn’t get rattled about anything. She’s very forgiving and easy to train on. She can dummy down to my level and go back up to the open level when my trainer gets on her. She’s a very, very nice horse.”

LaDona Emmons, Ione, California, won the 2015 Futurity Non Pro Limited division aboard her gelding, Stylish Ike (Playin Stylish x Miss Catty Cash x Nu Cash), scoring a 639 (214.5 herd/208.5 rein/216 cow).

“I’m just so excited! My horse was really good, and I’m thankful I could be here, and blessed. The herd work was really good. I actually have never shown him before. He’s never been shown before, so I didn’t really know what I was doing, honestly, but it all worked out. My herd help was great. I have to thank Todd Crawford and Corey Cushing for slowing me down—and Doug Williamson and my husband, Ron Emmons, for just being there and doing a great job,” she said.

She purchased Stylish Ike when he was a yearling from his breeder, Linda Silveira.

“I saw him, and I liked him, so I called my husband and said I wanted to buy him,” Emmons said.

She looks forward to continuing Stylish Ike’s career in the show pen, and hinted that their future might include competing in the Derby Non Pro fence work divisions in the years ahead.

lyle Proctor was the futurity Amateur Champion riding SJR All time Cash (one time Pepto x Shesa lota Cash x Nu Cash), qualified for the Non Pro, intermediate Non Pro and Novice Non Pro finals, and also won the Non Pro yearling Sale incentive.

In memory of a ChamPIon

By Stephanie Duquette

The reined cow horse industry suffered the loss of an exceptional equine athlete when Holy Cow Performance Horses announced April 30, 2016, that its 2015 Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion, Starlight Kisses, had passed away following a breedingrelated injury.

Starlight Kisses (Shady Lil Starlight x Kiss My Shiny Lips x Shining Spark), a 2012 mare, was bred and owned by Nancy Crawford-Hall’s Holy Cow Performance Horses. The fancy sorrel, heavily decorated with roan markings like her sire, was trained and shown by NRCHA Million Dollar Rider Jake Telford, Caldwell, Idaho. The untimely loss of the talented performer, nicknamed “Ferrari,” hit hard, as expressed in Holy Cow Performance Horses’ announcement on its Facebook page:

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce that our very special “Ferrari,” Starlight Kisses, is grazing the sweet, green pastures of Heaven. It has been, and will be, an extremely difficult time for us letting go. Our memory of her greatness will never be forgotten. May you always remember her beauty and talent as well,” it read.

Those who saw Starlight Kisses’ winning performance at the 2015 Snaffle Bit Futurity will surely remember her grit and style as she worked her way to the NRCHA’s most coveted limited-age

event championship, the first for Telford and for Holy Cow Performance Horses. She scored a 656 composite for the win (216 herd/218.5 rein/221.5 cow).

“She’s family. I love her,” Telford said, referring to his feelings for Starlight Kisses during an emotional interview immediately following the Snaffle Bit Futurity win in Reno last October.

Telford had shown Starlight Kisses’ sire, Shady Lil Starlight (Grays Starlight x Shady Little Cat x High Brow Cat) and her dam, Kiss My Shiny Lips (Shining Spark x Lipschic x Smart Chic Olena), both owned by Holy Cow. Starlight Kisses possessed the winning traits of

both her champion parents, according to Telford.

“It’s extremely special to ride one that you’ve rode both their parents. I can’t tell you how much it means to ride one that’s homegrown,” he said.

Starlight Kisses, even though her show career was cut terribly short, is the number-one offspring by Shady Lil Starlight and the top money-earner out of Kiss My Shiny Lips. With her Snaffle Bit Futurity Championship and her top10 finish at the 2015 National Stock Horse Association Futurity, “Ferrari” brought home $103,347 in reined cow horse paychecks.

the untimely passing of the 2015 Snaffle Bit futurity Champion, Starlight Kisses, was sad and shocking news for the entire reined cow horse industry. She was bred and owned by Holy Cow performance Horses and shown by NRCHA million Dollar Rider Jake telford.

the Zoetis AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge showcases ranch-bred horses during the NRCHA Snaffle Bit futurity.

The National Reined Cow Horse Association is teaming up with its alliance partner, the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), to produce the third Zoetis Ranching Heritage Challenge at the 2016 Snaffle Bit Futurity in Reno, Nevada. The event, which offers a Working Ranch Horse, Boxing and Ranch Horse Pleasure class, will be held Saturday, September 24, at 9:00 a.m. in the Reno Livestock Events Center outdoor rodeo arena.

The Ranching Heritage Challenge classes offer an impressive $15,000 added, with multiple Open and Non Pro divisions. Sponsorship support from Zoetis, Professional’s Choice, Built Ford Tough, and the AQHA’s new “Ranch Horse Journal,” make the Ranching Heritage Challenge event in Reno possible.

“The purpose of the Ranching Heritage program is to recognize where a lot of these American Quarter Horses are coming from, and the great ranches that have produced them through the years. The

NRCHA puts on a great event, and we are happy to be a part of it,” said Charlie Hemphill, the American Quarter Horse Association’s Director of Shows and New Events.

To be eligible for the Ranching Heritage Challenge, a horse must have been foaled at an AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder’s ranch and nominated by that ranch. The AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge highlights the versatility, soundness and willing attitude of

American Quarter Horses that are ranch born and raised.

The Ranching Heritage Challenge is linked to the AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders program, established to recognize AQHA’s ranching members who have steadfastly continued to maintain the ranching tradition by raising American Quarter Horses for use in working cattle.

the 2015 ranching heritage challenge

In the open 4-year-old working ranch horse class, Metallic Masterpiece (Metallic Cat x Kings Masterpiece x Peppy San Badger), a 2011 sorrel stallion shown by Kyle Trahern, took top honors and $1,625 in first-place money for breeder Wagonhound Land and Livestock and for owner Silver Spur Operating Co.

“The cow was good, the horse was good. Everything set up,” Trahern said. “He’s easy to show down the fence, and he was good in the reining. He makes it pretty simple.”

In Zoetis AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenges, riders work a short reining pattern before boxing a cow at the short end of the arena, turning it both ways down a long fence and then roping it.

Trahern wasn’t worried about the roping part, because he spent the summer doctoring yearlings on the stallion.

“I’ve roped on him a bunch,” Trahern said. “It’s nothing to go rope on him. An hour later I roped on him in the stray gathering (competition).”

The 5/6-year-old working ranch horse winner was Seven S Crazy Horse (Hickorys Indian Pep x Seven S Babe x Seven S Zanaday), a 2009 gelding bred and owned by Terry Stuart Forst of Waurika, Oklahoma. In previous years, Forst has ridden “Batman” in non-pro Ranching Heritage Challenges, but in 2015, she asked her son Robert to show the gelding in the open.

“It went pretty good. He’s a good horse,” Robert said after the win. “That’s one of the first times I’ve shown him in the bridle. He was second in the open two rein at the (Snaffle Bit) Futurity, and he’s a good, easy horse to show. I’ve been roping on him quite a bit at the house, so I knew he had that part handled.”

Seven S Crazy Horse added $1,860 to his earnings with the win in his last year of eligibility for open Ranching Heritage Challenge classes. His regular rider, Terry, can still show Batman in amateur classes.

The evoluTion of a reined Cow horSe

the training of a reined cow horse is a methodical and meticulous process, taking years to reach the end result so prized by the vaqueros – the finished bridle horse.

reined cow horses are first eligible to compete in snaffle bit futurities as 3-year-olds. For many successful show horses, this is only the beginning. Beyond the futurities, three more show divisions await. The training process is a progression, with each stage building upon the one before it. The various phases of training beyond the snaffle bit are showcased here in Reno with competitive divisions for cow horses aged 4 and up.

tHe HACkAmoRe yeARS

When young cow horses are 4- and 5-year-olds, they become eligible for the hackamore class at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity. In 2016, for the first time, another NRCHA Premier Event, the Hackamore Classic, is being held in conjunction with the Snaffle Bit Futurity. This provides hackamore horses two opportunities to compete in Reno: in the three-event herd/rein/cow work derby that makes up the Hackamore Classic; and the horse show class where entries perform a rein work pattern and work a cow down the fence immediately after.

The hackamore is the traditional bitless headgear. It consists of a bosal, a braided noseband usually made of rawhide or leather, and a closed rein

called a mecate. The customary mecate material is horse hair, but mohair or synthetics are also common and legal in the show pen.

In the NRCHA Hackamore Classic derby, there are classes for Open,

Intermediate Open, Limited Open, and Level 1 Limited Open riders. Non-professional riders may compete in the Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro and Novice Non Pro, or Amateur classes. Eligibility is based on rider earnings. There is also a Non Pro Limited class (herd/rein/ boxing) for Non Pro riders who do not go down the fence.

tHe t wo ReiN

When reined cow horses turn 6, they are no longer eligible to be shown two-handed. At this age, they begin the transition to bridle horse status via the two rein, when a bridle is added to the hackamore. Two rein horses are shown one-handed in a bit with shanks, a non-jointed mouthpiece, a port, and a roller, or “cricket.”

Under the bridle, horses wear a second headstall with a pencil-thin bosalito, a narrower version of the hackamore bosal with a skinny mecate rein. The rider holds two sets of reins: the closed rawhide romal which is attached to the bridle bit, and the thin mecate rein which connects to the bosalito. Riders may guide the horse with both sets of reins and are permitted to use one or more fingers between the reins to direct the horse.

over A Barrell (Nic it in the Bud x katie Gun x John Gun), shown by darrel Norcutt and owned by Joyce diegel, was the 2015 NRCHA Snaffle Bit futurity open Hackamore Champion.

the 2015 NRCHA futurity open two Rein Champion was Royal Smart fletch (Royal fletch x little Smart Ginger x Smart little lena), shown by NRCHA million dollar Rider Boyd Rice for breeder/owners Charlie and kit moncrief.

Horses may show only one season in the two rein division. During this year, they may also enter the bridle classes. In the two rein classes, riders first perform a rein work pattern and then work a cow down the fence. You’ll be able to watch the Open and Non Pro two rein horses in action here in Reno.

the

Bridle

A finished bridle horse is considered the most elite competitor in the reined cow horse world. If they started their show career as 3-year-olds, and progressed continuously through the stages of training and competition, these bridle horses are now highly experienced 7-year-olds and older, ready to perform at the highest level. At the Snaffle Bit Futurity, bridle horses will compete in the Open,

Limited Open, Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro and Novice Non Pro Bridle class, depending on the rider’s eligibility. They will be judged on rein work and fence work only.

An increasingly popular division at NRCHA events is the Bridle

Spectacular. Like the futurities and derbies, Bridle Spectacular horses compete in herd work, rein work and fence work – often for very rich purses.

Another avenue for bridle horses is the four-event, or all-around competition, where steer-stopping is added to the herd/rein/fence lineup. The signature event of this kind is the NRCHA World’s Greatest Horseman, part of the annual NRCHA Celebration of Champions, held next February in Fort Worth, Texas.

Bridle horses are shown in a shanked, ported bit with a cricket, in the traditional closed romal reins with the popper attached. The rider’s hand must be closed on the reins with no fingers between at any time.

place in History a

the annual Hall of Fame Banquet, a perennial highlight at the National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity, is a gala event and induction ceremony honoring the outstanding humans and equines who have earned a place in the NRCHA Hall of Fame. In 2016, three new individuals add their names to the ranks of exceptional contributors to the sport of reined cow horse.

2016 HAll of fAme lyN ANdeRSoN

Lyn Anderson’s upbringing in suburban Los Angeles and San Diego had nothing to do with horses, cattle, dusty arenas or wide-open spaces, but somehow, those things have been in her blood since birth.

“I’m the mutant of the family. Horses were certainly not in my background, so it’s a little odd that I’m doing what I’m doing. I was supposed to be a surfer, but didn’t make it,” the Madera, California, horsewoman said, smiling.

Anderson’s father managed a U.S. Social Security office and her mom mostly stayed home to raise Lyn and her brother. The entire family was surprised when Lyn began asking for a horse at age 2, and kept asking until her parents gave in, more than a decade later. By age 13, Anderson had a horse of her own.

the

National Reined Cow Horse Association Hall of fame welcomes three new inductees in 2016.

2016 NRCHA Hall of fame inductee lyn Anderson, madera, California, after one of her “bucket list” titles, winning the 2015 Snaffle Bit futurity open Bridle Championship aboard david and Barbara Archer’s gelding, tuckers Smart Cat (wR this Cats Smart x Smoke time tuck x doc tom tucker). with $154,000+ in NRCHA money, tuckers Smart Cat is the leading earner out of the late Hall of fame mare Smoke time tuck, who had a significant impact on Anderson’s career.

“That horse was boarded in a big pasture, and down the road was a nice training facility. I realized people would pay you to ride horses. I thought, ‘You’ve got

to be kidding!’ I thought that was really cool. Then I saw an article on Cal Poly, and how they had a horse program in their Animal Science department, so I thought, ‘I’m going to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.’”

Displaying the determination, confidence and optimism that would see her through many successful decades as a NRCHA Professional, Anderson followed through on her college plan. She soaked up everything the Cal Poly equine program had to offer, including the part of the curriculum in which students prepared Cal Poly-bred horses for the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Sale.

“I had one of those sale horses, and went to the Snaffle Bit Futurity for the first time in probably 1976,” she said. Anderson’s first sale horse was purchased by another legendary NRCHA Hall of Fame horseman, Jim Paul, Sr. “The first time I saw [the Snaffle Bit Futurity], I knew that’s what I wanted to do, even though I had never worked a cow and never shown a horse,” she said.

Upon graduating from Cal Poly, Anderson’s name was on two sets of papers: her diploma, and the registration certificate for the Cal Poly-bred yearling Cheeta Vanbar (Dee Gee Vanbar x Doc’s Cheeta x Doc Bar), a sorrel stud colt foaled in 1977.

“I bought him specifically to train for the Snaffle Bit Futurity, so I did that in 1980, with more or less no help,” Anderson said. “Literally, that was my first cow horse show—the 1980 Snaffle Bit Futurity.”

Her self-made horse didn’t make the finals, but his natural cow sense helped Anderson win a little go-round money in the Ladies division herd and fence work, and got her permanently hooked on the sport. The next big milestone for Anderson came in 1984, when she showed her first customer horse, Yeller Chex (Bueno Chex x Sender Q Mark x Honest Lee), at the Snaffle Bit Futurity.

“My whole career started because of a bet. [Yeller Chex’s owner] had bet another local horse owner that his horse in training with me could beat the other guy’s horse in training with another local trainer. That’s how I got that horse, I swear. I did not know that until like a year later,” she recalled. “The real funny part was, we ended up tying at the Futurity. We had exactly the same scores, so there was no payout of the big bet.”

In the years that followed, Anderson continued to develop her horsemanship and her training business, married Ken,

her husband of 34 years, and began what would grow into 20 years of service on the NRCHA Board of Directors, including multiple terms as President. She became a significant force in the show pen, and with her current lifetime earnings just over the $830,000 mark, is among the next in line to achieve NRCHA Million-Dollar Rider status. A hallmark of Anderson’s program is lasting relationships with her clients and with her horses. Anderson has developed numerous Supreme Reined Cow Horses, the NRCHA’s highest merit award for equines with substantial earnings in all phases of competition.

“The futurity horses are not the only goal we have. They might make futurity horses, they might not, but if they can go on and be hackamore, two rein and bridle horses, that’s what I’m all about, and it’s what my customers are all about, too. I want to see long-term horses, and I’m lucky enough to have owners who appreciate that, too. I really like the longevity thing and I like making one a Supreme Reined Cow Horse. That’s kind of my niche,” she said.

In the late 1990s, Anderson connected with a family of horses that would make

an indelible mark on her career. When her customer, Kathryn Schaefer, brought her a 1997 gelding, Smart Time Tuck (Senors Lil Brudder x Smoke Time Tuck x Doc Tom Tucker), to train, it was the beginning of a tremendously successful pairing between Anderson and Smoke Time Tuck offspring. The mare, who was inducted into the NRCHA Hall of Fame in 2015, produced NRCHA money-earners of $519,273, most of which has been earned under Anderson’s guidance.

“the fence work is something i absolutely love to do. that hasn’t changed. it just thrills me. the reining doesn’t thrill me, the herd work doesn’t thrill me, but down the fence i just love it,” anderson said about her signature event, the fence work. She is pictured here scoring a 228 on tuckers Smart Cat.

“There is absolutely no doubt that her babies have been a huge help to my business, and they just fit me so well. I’m riding the grandsons and -daughters now, and they’re fitting me. I owe that mare a lot. I loved that mare and I love Skip Brown [NRCHA Hall of Fame horseman and Smoke Time Tuck’s owner/ breeder] for selling us the first one,” Anderson said, adding that her owners have made the greatest contributions to her successful equine partnerships. “It’s the owners who have got to have faith in you, and bring you horses. I’ve been so lucky in having the owners I’ve had. It’s been wonderful. I’ve had some really good owners who have developed into good friends. We trust each other, and it’s been a great thing. I want to thank every owner I’ve ever had.”

The cheerful, down-to-earth horsewoman maintains a smaller training operation than some of her industry-leading peers. With very few exceptions, she starts all her colts herself. She maintains a group of like-minded non pro riders who are enthusiastic about their horsemanship, and tirelessly strives to improve herself and keep pace in an evolving industry.

“It’s been a fascinating journey, to watch the progression of where we started to where we are now. The horses, the training, the riders, the judging - everything just gets better. It’s been astounding, and it’s a fun event, because you do have to

keep re-inventing yourself and improving,” she said.

Anderson said she is honored to become part of the Hall of Fame, joining people and horses she has worked with and learned from over the years. She named some fellow inductees who have shared knowledge and helped influence her career, including Sandy Collier, Greg Ward, Johnny Brazil, Jr., Doug Williamson, Skip Brown, and the mare Smoke Time Tuck.

“It’s what you work your entire life to do; to be recognized in the Hall of Fame as somebody who loves the reined cow horse, like everybody else in this association. It’s pretty cool!” she said.

2016 HAll of fAme DAN RoeSeR

As Marsing, Idaho, professional Dan Roeser enters the NRCHA Hall of Fame, he not only earns a permanent place in the association’s history; he also becomes part of the first father-and-son duo to be inducted, joining his late father, Jim Roeser, who passed away in 1997 and received Hall of Fame status in 2006.

“It is very special to me that my Dad and I will be the first father and son in the Hall of Fame,” Roeser said, adding that he looks forward to his younger brother, Jon, a NRCHA Million-Dollar Rider, Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion, and World’s Greatest Horseman, becoming a Hall of Fame candidate soon.

The Roesers are one of the NRCHA’s most prestigious legacy families, representing at least five generations of horsemen and cattlemen with deep roots in rodeo, ranching, horse showing, and the Western lifestyle. Two of Jim Roeser’s four boys—Dan, the eldest, and Jon, the third brother—followed closest in their father’s footsteps, becoming professional reined cow horse trainers. Jon recently moved his business back to Idaho after training in California for decades. Dan never left the Gem State, developing his horsemanship under Jim’s tutelage and operating his training facility, Roeser Ranch, a stone’s throw from the original Roeser home place in Marsing.

“My Dad is the only trainer I ever worked for, and obviously he was a huge influence on me,” Roeser said.

Jim Roeser’s unique career—first as a champion rodeo roughstock rider, and then a horse trainer—earned him the distinction of being the only competitor to qualify for both the National Finals Rodeo and the Snaffle Bit Futurity Finals. Jim’s innate ability to train a responsive,

confident reined cow horse made an impression on Dan at an early age, and he has drawn upon that foundation his entire career.

“My Dad taught me a lot about training a horse and understanding a horse. He was such a natural horseman, with so much feel. His horses were incredibly soft, everywhere. You could pick up on one of his horses and move its body around, and there was no brace in it at all,” he said.

Besides excellence in horsemanship, Jim Roeser instilled core values of loyalty, integrity, patience, sportsmanship, and leadership into his boys. Those principles have served Dan well in a career that has led to NRCHA earnings of nearly $700,000, and business relationships that have lasted, in many cases, close to a quarter-century.

“I learned a lot about dealing with people from my Dad. He was a really fair guy. His customers were very loyal to him, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have the same thing. I have a lot of customers who’ve been with me for 20 to 25 years. I don’t know if that happens to a lot of horse trainers, but it’s happened to me,” he said. “It’s rewarding to have customers who are happy enough with the relationship and the results with their horses, to stay satisfied and stay with my program that long.”

Longevity is a hallmark of Roeser’s relationship with people and with horses. The veteran professional prides himself on developing horses whose show careers last many years, and along the way, earn the prestigious NRCHA Supreme Reined Cow Horse Award. The

2016 NRCHA Hall of fame inductee Dan Roeser, marsing, idaho.

Dan Roeser and one of his favorite horses, Roosters Rozalena (gallo Del Cielo x Rosezana lena x Doc o’lena), owned by Rush Creek Ranch. together, Roeser and the 2007 mare earned nearly $48,000, which included the 2012 NRCHA Stallion Stakes intermediate open Championship and her Supreme Reined Cow Horse merit award.

Supreme designation is reserved for horses that achieve substantial earnings in all phases of NRCHA competition—limited age events, hackamore, and bridle.

“A high percentage of the horses I ride become non pro horses for their owners to ride, and are still going when they’re 10 and 12 years old, and older. A lot of my horses won the majority of their earnings when they were 5 and 6 years old,” he said. “The Supreme Reined Cow Horse—that’s the award and the recognition that a horse was not just a futurity horse, and not just a bridle horse, but it had an entire career. I’ve got pictures of 12 of them on the wall, and have had a hand in at least three or four more. That’s a big deal with me, the award that says a horse has had a full career.”

Over the years, Roeser’s ability to maintain a horse over the long haul, consistently banking paychecks at both NRCHA Premier Events and NRCHA Affiliate shows, has made him the thirdhighest weekend reined cow horse money-earner on the 2016 Equi-stat Lifetime Statistics list.

Roeser’s impact on the reined cow horse industry, particularly in the Northwest, can also be measured by the younger horsemen he has mentored. Two of his longest-term assistant trainers now have their own flourishing programs: Wade Reaney in Rupert, Idaho, and Justin Bailey in Pilot Rock, Oregon.

“That’s really one of my proudest accomplishments. Wade was here for nine years, and Justin was here for eight years. I think they were here just one year together. Those 16 years were in the very middle of my career, and a lot of what made me successful was that those two were so loyal and were here for so long. It means a lot to me that they’re as successful as they are, and that we’ve stayed as close as we are. I’m just as proud when they do something good as I am when I do myself,” Roeser said.

He also values his close relationship with another top Idaho hand, the 2015 NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion Jake Telford. In Telford’s pre-NRCHA days, when he roped professionally, he rode colts at Roeser Ranch and showed Roeser’s cow horses in AQHA roping.

Telford has credited Roeser with putting him on the first finished reined cow horses he ever rode.

Roeser’s connection with generations of trainers and horses has struck him from time to time as he travels the Western states during the busy NRCHA show season.

“There was one time when we were there at the Magic Valley Futurity [in Rupert, Idaho], and I started counting, and there were seven people showing there who had worked for me. There was another time we went to the Utah Futurity. We got there pretty early the day before. There were five horses loping around in the arena. I got to looking, and realized I had shown the mothers of all five of those horses. When you’ve shown the mothers—that’s going back a little while,” he recalled, smiling.

Roeser’s commitment to the NRCHA extends beyond the competitive arena. He has served in some capacity on the NRCHA Board of Directors for nearly 20 years, including a stint as the association President in 2005 and 2006. During that time, he worked with then-Vice President Larry Bell of Stephenville, Texas, to implement the NRCHA Regional and World Championship Show qualifying system.

With a thriving cow horse training business and continuing active service on the NRCHA Board of Directors as the current Rules Committee chairperson, Roeser’s new status in the Hall of Fame represents yet another accolade in a career that continues to run at full throttle.

“I just really love it—both the people and the horses. I couldn’t imagine doing

anything else, and I will certainly do it as long as I can,” he said.

2016 HAll of fAme CHiCS mAgiC PotioN

Some of the greatest successes spring from the most unlikely beginnings, and such was the case with Chics Magic Potion (Smart Chic Olena x Remedys Magic Potion x Remedys Reply).

The story of “Magic” is “an ugly duckling story,” according to his human Hall of Fame counterpart, Bob Avila, of Temecula, California. Avila, a NRCHA Million-Dollar Rider, is the horseman who trained, showed, and loved Chics Magic Potion throughout his entire performance career and most of his life. By the numbers alone, Chics Magic Potion left an indelible mark as a performer. Bred by Kim Muehlstaetter of Scottsdale, Arizona, and owned by Ken and Laina Banks, Schulenburg, Texas, Magic enjoyed a long stint as the No. 1 money earning reined cow horse. In a six-year period beginning

“He was a people horse. you could treat him like a pet, which you can’t do with most studs,” said Bob Avila, describing the friendly nature of Chics magic Potion. the stallion earned more than $318,000 in all disciplines during his career, and sired earners of just over $40,000 in NRCHA money.

in August of 2003 and ending in June of 2009, Avila and the 2000 bay stallion showed in just 13 NRCHA events, collecting titles including the 2003 Santa Ynez Cow Horse Classic “Pre-Futurity” Championship; the 2003 Snaffle Bit Futurity Open Championship; the 2005 Hackamore Classic Championship; the 2005 AQHA Junior Working Cow Horse Reserve World Championship; the 2008 Magnificent 7 Championship; and the 2009 Reserve World’s Greatest Horseman.

All told, Avila and Magic won $246,705 in NRCHA money, and, with their National Reining Horse Association and AQHA earnings, banked more than $318,000.

But the real measure of Magic consists of more than numbers.

“You don’t pick out a Hall of Fame horse. You’re just fortunate enough to get to ride one,” Avila said.

He admitted that, based on first impressions, Magic was not a top pick.

“He was really, really homely,” Avila said. “I have a picture of him as a yearling and I won’t even let anybody see it.”

But Avila knew the genetic power of the awkward colt’s pedigree. For years, he had admired, and tried to buy, Magic’s dam, Remedys Magic Potion (Remedys Reply x Remedys Magica x Remedys Goal). The stalwart 1989 mare, shown by reining specialist Casey Hinton, as well as her owner, Kim Muehlstaetter, competing as a youth and amateur under her maiden name Kim Dooley, achieved more than $25,000 in the NRHA and AQHA.

“Kim showed her, Casey showed her. They showed her everywhere. I don’t know if she ever won anything gigantic, but she won all the time. She was one of those weekend horses who went in there and just won and won and won. She did it for years and she was really a cool mare,” Avila recalled.

Years later, he heard that Remedys Magic Potion had foaled a 2000 colt by

legendary performer and sire Smart Chic Olena (Smart Little Lena x Gay Sugar Chic x Gay Bar King). It was Chics Magic Potion, and though he was bred in the purple, he didn’t look the part.

“They asked John Slack if he would start him, and he said, ‘I don’t want to ride that ugly little sucker.’ So they took him to Todd Sommers. Todd looked in the trailer and said, ‘Don’t unload him.’ He was just a homely, ugly duckling,” Avila said, adding that Sommers still bemoans the fact that he passed over one of the best horses in the industry.

A former Avila assistant trainer, Martin Muehlstaetter, was the one who started Magic. Avila, in collaboration with professional horseman Doug Carpenter and owner Alan Needle, purchased the colt late in his 2-year-old year, and Avila took over his reins.

“From the day I got him, he was just— you couldn’t find a word for it other than ‘Steady Eddy,’” Avila said. “Magic was the kind who would come out every single day and get just a fraction better. He’d never slip backwards, he’d never leap forwards—he would get a little bit better every day. And he was like that to train the whole time. The whole time. He never got checked up, he never got in trouble for anything, he never got studdy. He just got a little bit better his whole career.”

The young stallion proved his versatility early on, winning the NRCHA’s crown jewel, the Snaffle Bit Futurity, and a few short weeks later earning a big paycheck as a top Open finalist at the NRHA Futurity.

“The night I walked out of the finals, I remember thinking to myself, ‘This was the funnest horse I ever showed at the reining futurity,’” Avila said. “Most of the time when a big futurity is over with, you’re like, ‘Let me off—I’m so glad it’s over with.’ But he was so much fun to show, and he was so honest.”

Bob avila and Chics Magic Potion showed at 13 nrCHa events over six years, winning some of the reined cow horse industry’s most coveted titles, including the 2003 Snaffle Bit futurity Championship.

Between the Snaffle Bit Futurity and the NRHA Futurity, Magic’s ownership changed. Avila’s friend and customer Ken Banks purchased him with the intent to ride the stallion himself in the non pro.

“Ken is probably one of the greatest customers you could ever have in your life. When Magic started winning so much, Ken didn’t want to show him as a non pro horse. Ken used to say, ‘I own him, but he’s your horse,’” Avila said. When Magic reached bridle horse age, he continued to demonstrate the great heart and ability that made him a winner at 3. In 2009, Avila piloted him to Reserve at the World’s Greatest Horseman, behind the late Topsails Rien Maker (Topsail Cody x Jameen Gay x Toby Gay Bar), the 1999 stallion who, after Magic’s retirement, would eventually pass him as the No. 1 NRCHA money-earner. That success at the World’s Greatest almost didn’t happen, when Avila and Magic scored a lackluster 203 in the herd work prelims.

“I was thinking, ‘Man, I’m out of the ball game.’ But I went back to the room that night and told myself, ‘I’ve got one of the brokest reiners in this pen. I’m

going back in and I’m going to stomp on it and either go down in a ball of flames or knock it out of the park.’ And I did—he was a 227.5 in the rein work, and jumped right back in the finals. He was that kind of horse. He was so honest; it was incredible. You could dig yourself a hole for him, and he’d climb back out of it. Him and Slider, we used to laugh about them being Ali and Foreman. They’d battle each other. I’d win one; he’d win one. I’d win one; he’d win one. And we were all such great friends, we were rooting for each other.”

In August of that same year, after Avila and Magic won the 2009 World’s Richest Stock Horse competition in Paso Robles, California, the veteran horseman made the snap decision to retire the stallion at the pinnacle of his career. With Banks’ blessing, he quietly made the announcement.

“I’ve always had a thing about my horses walking out of the pen on top. He won [the World’s Richest] and I decided that was the time to do it, just tip our hat and walk out of the pen as a champion.”

For the next three-and-a-half years, Magic enjoyed life on Bob and Dana Avila’s ranch, branding cattle and serving as an ambassador for reined cow horses at various demonstrations.

“I’ve had a lot of great horses, and a lot of horses I really liked. Magic was… something different. For me, he was just kind of my buddy,” Avila said.

The veteran professional still finds it difficult to talk about, but in a voice rough with emotion, he described the 2012 accident during a demo at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada. There was no excessive speed, no bad ground, no prior soundness

NRCHA & futuRity SPoNSoRS

issues or problems—Magic simply took a bad step while showing the crowd the fundamentals of the fence work, breaking a front leg above the knee. The damage was irreparable.

“It was just something that happened. It was a pretty great loss,” Avila said.

Despite the void created by the stallion’s untimely death, Avila said Hall of Fame status is a fitting memorial to an unforgettable performer.

“I look at a horse like him, or any Hall of Fame kind of horse—they give us so much. They’re the kind of horses who give it to us when they’re tired, when they’re sore. We keep asking and they keep giving. I asked, and he gave. It was hard to get over. I’m still not over it. I was fortunate enough to get to make him from beginning to end. We’re the fortunate ones, to get to ride them.”

ward ranch raffle colt

Imagine it only cost $10 to buy a horse and enter it in the 2017 Snaffle Bit Futurity. Sounds impossible? Just go with it, please.

No, really: Justgowithit Please (Smart Little Pepinic x Be Lona x Mister Dual Pep) is the 2016 National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity Raffle Colt, and he could be yours for just $10, the price of a raffle ticket.

The raffle colt is donated annually by NRCHA Breeder Sponsor Ward Ranch. Like all the Ward Ranch Raffle horses, Justgowithit Please comes with a paid entry to the 2017 Snaffle Bit Futurity in Fort Worth, Texas, in the new owner’s choice of the Open, Non Pro, Amateur or Non Pro Limited division. He will also be well started under saddle by the time of the drawing; the brown 2014 gelding is currently in training at Ward Ranch, with NRCHA Professional Chris Krieg.

There is no limit to the number of raffle colt tickets per buyer. From now until Futurity time, tickets can be purchased through the NRCHA Office by calling 940-488-1500. Once the Snaffle Bit Futurity is underway, the tickets will also be available in the show office.

The winning ticket will be drawn October 1, 2016, during the Snaffle Bit Futurity Open Finals in Reno, Nevada. Ticket buyers do not need to be present to win.

The Ward Ranch has an approximately 30-year history of contributing royally-bred 2-year-old raffle candidates from its historic reined cow horse breeding program. Built in 1972 by the late Greg Ward, a member of the NRCHA Hall of Fame, Ward Ranch has raised numerous champions, many of them descended from the famous mare, Fillinic.

All of the money from raffle ticket sales goes to support the NRCHA Futurity, half of which is put into the NRCHA 2-Year-Old Select Sale Purse, an incentive program which pays the highest-scoring Snaffle Bit Futurity Sale horses at the following year’s Futurity.

Several Ward Ranch Raffle alumni have returned to Reno as 3-year-olds to claim their own Futurity paychecks. The most successful was Gypsy Reminic (Reminic x Tontos Gypsy Bar x Tonto Bars Folly), the 1988 raffle filly. She became the 1989 Futurity Open Reserve Champion with Ted Robinson aboard. Gypsy Reminic has $37,406 in cow horse money, according to Equi-Stat. She also went on to produce 10 performing foals that have earned nearly $75,000 in cutting, cow horse and reining.

one lucky winner will take home the 2016 Ward ranch raffle Colt, Justgowithit Please (Smart little Pepinic x Be lona x Mister Dual Pep). the 2014 gelding is currently in training with Ward ranch assistant Chris Krieg.

IN the market

What to know before attending the 2016 Snaffle Bit futurity Sales.

By Bonnie Wheatley

In addition to the allure of the National Reined Cow Horse Association’s Snaffle Bit Futurity, the four horse sale sessions that run in conjunction with the show add

plenty of opportunity for prospective buyers and sellers. Slated for September 30 - October 1, 2016, the Snaffle Bit Futurity Horse Sales, managed by Parnell Dickinson, consist of the Classic Yearling and Broodmare Sale, Performance Horse Sale, Select 2-Year-Old Sale, and Select Yearling and Broodmare Sale.

The SBF Sales, first held in conjunction with the event when it took place

the Snaffle Bit futurity Sales are slated for September 30 - October 1, 2016, in Reno, Nevada.

in Sacramento, California, in 1970, have long been a destination for those seeking to buy and sell quality cow horses. While buying strategies abound, and hinge upon the individual goals of those in the market, several sale savvy horsemen shared their tips on making the most of your sale experience.

“When people come to the Snaffle Bit Futurity Sales, they can expect to see a lot of high quality horses, especially in the 2-Year-Old Sale; horses that are going to be extremely competitive,” says Jake Parnell of Parnell Dickinson Sale Company. “You look at Time For The Diamond that won the Futurity in 2013, Nick Dowers purchased him from the Select Yearling Sale. CD Diamond that Corey Cushing won it on in 2012 came out of the Select Yearling Sale as well.”

the ProceSS of elimination

With vast experience on both the buying and selling sides, NRCHA Two Million Dollar Rider Todd Crawford, of Blanchard, Oklahoma, advises thorough research prior to arriving at the sales.

To begin narrowing the search, Crawford consults the sale catalogs in order to study pedigrees in advance.

“Find the pedigrees that jump out and strike you as what you are looking for,” says Crawford. “You may know the father of that horse, and you may know the mother, and decide, ‘yes, that’s a colt that interests me pedigree-wise, or no, that one is out.’”

Beyond bloodlines, Crawford reviews video resources posted online.

“A lot of people know this, but I suppose some are still unaware, but a month to three weeks before the sales there are videos posted, which is a great way to get a first look at a yearling moving around in the round pen, for example.”

Whether he’s in the market for an open caliber horse or a non professional mount, Crawford tries to find the best

the high seller of the 2015 Snaffle Bit futurity 2-yearold Select Sale was metallic look (metallic cat x Smart lookin hi Brow x high Brow hickory), consigned by nrcha Professional Justin lawrence and his wife, Kelcie, alzada, montana. metallic look sold for $77,000 to fults ranch, ltd., amarillo, texas, which owns and stands metallic cat.

horse he can that fits within the predetermined budget parameters.

“A lot of times horses that don’t bring as much money tend to fall into the non pro bracket, but just because you pay a lot doesn’t always mean it’s going be the best horse,” he says.

Finding the best prospect also means making sure it’s one with great odds of remaining sound.

“People should take advantage of the repository and review the X-rays prior to going to the sale,” says Crawford. “I believe there’s an online repository, and last year NRCHA implemented a system where I could call my veterinarian at home in Oklahoma and say, ‘I need you to look at the X-rays on Lot 45,’ and he could do that without having to be at the sale.”

The tool Crawford is referring to is the Asteris system, which makes sale horse radiographs instantly accessible to veterinarians anywhere. While radiographs are still available on-site at the NRCHA sales, the Asteris system allows veterinarians with login credentials to view X-rays

via smartphone, tablet, or computer from any location.

“All vets—like all blacksmiths and all horse trainers, for that matter—have different opinions, but at least if your vet looks in advance, you’ll get a good feel for if you can be comfortable proceeding with the purchase of that horse with some confidence in the horse being able to stay sound,” says Crawford, adding that things like OCD lesions, splints or spurs may force a prospective buyer to cull a prospect at the sale.

“If you buy one and get it home and find that it has problems, and the X-rays were there but you didn’t do your due diligence, you’re stuck with that horse. Consider resale and future vet checks, because you don’t want there to be a problem that keeps you from selling that horse later.”

outlined below are the guidelines governing the incentives as they appear on the NRCHA’s website nrcha.com:

NrCha Yearling Purse. this incentive is for yearlings that are eligible for the NRCHA Stakes and actually sell to a new owner in the Select yearling & Broodmare Sale or the Classic yearling & Broodmare Sale. A nomination fee of $250 will pay the yearling up for the yearling Sale Purse. the $250 payment may be paid by the consignor prior to the sale or the buyer may pay after the purchase, however the payment must be made no later than the last day of the NRCHA futurity. the Added money, plus the nomination fees, will be paid to the highest advancing eligible 3 year old in the NRCHA open futurity Preliminaries.

NrCha $30,000 2-Year-old Sale Purse. Consignors of the NRCHA 2-year-old Sale Purse incentive winners will receive $1,500 for open and $500 for the Non Pro from the Select 2-year-old Sale incentive Purse funds. each year, Ward River Ranch donates the NRCHA futurity Raffle Colt. Half of the raffle proceeds are used to sponsor the NRCHA 2-year-old Sale Purse. this money, plus $150 from the entry fee of each NRCHA Select 2-year-old Sale entry, are combined to make the NRCHA 2-year-old Sale Purse.

NRCHA guarantees that the NRCHA 2-year-old Sale Purse will be at least $30,000. only entries that sell and change ownership are eligible for the NRCHA 2-year-old Sale Purse. After the Consignor purse is paid, the balance of the purse will be paid in the following manner: 70 percent will be paid to the highest advancing Select 2-year-old Sale entry in the NRCHA open futurity Preliminaries and 30 percent will be paid to the highest advancing Select 2-year-old Sale entry in the Non Pro futurity Preliminaries. An entry must be sold through the Select 2-yearold Sale and transferred to the new owner to be eligible for the Select 2-year-old Sale Purse. An entry that was repurchased and not sold will not be eligible for the Select 2-year-old Sale Purse.

PRIMO MORALES

“have a goal. are you looking for a non pro horse? an open caliber horse? a futurity horse or an aged event horse? Get a suitable horse for your goals and set suitable criteria when you’re looking.”

–Randy Gamble

ronment thanks to years of experience running a sale company in the 1980s and ‘90s. His number one piece of advice to prospective buyers who are new to the sale environment is: “Do your homework! And, if you’re not experienced, get good, well qualified help.”

Gamble, Prineville, Oregon, earned the Non Pro Select 2-Year-Old Incentive at the 2014 Snaffle Bit Futurity riding QR Hickory Boon (Boons Milliennium x Melissa Josey x Doc’s Hickory). Gamble’s incentive check of $8,400 added to what he won as the Futurity Amateur Champion and earnings in the Novice

Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro and Non Pro

Futurity Finals.

When asked if the sale incentives factor into his purchasing plans, Gamble says they absolutely do.

“The first incentive horse I bought sort of happened by accident, but it’s an absolute no-brainer for me now. I won back more money than what I paid for the horse,” says Gamble, adding that he appreciates the sale environment in Reno because there are so many horses to choose from all in one spot. He personally prefers the 2-Year-Old Sale because the prospects are well prepared and ready to ride.

“The 2-year-old deal takes a lot of the risk out to me, I’m older and time is of the essence,” he laughed. “People always ask how I pick. I know what I like, and I’m buying for value. I watch the videos they post online and whittle it down to eight to 10 horses. When my wife and I get to Reno, we chip away until we have it down to three or four. I always buy geldings, and a person always wants to buy pretty for resale potential in case

the horse doesn’t pan out for your purposes.”

In addition to seeking good help and doing thorough research, Gamble says it’s crucial to identify your objectives well in advance of the sales.

“Have a goal,” says Gamble. “Are you looking for a non pro horse? An open caliber horse? A futurity horse or an aged event horse? Get a suitable horse for your goals and set suitable criteria when you’re looking. I want to have my ducks in a row when I get there, and definitely stick to my goal.”

the SBf futurity Sale incentiveS

The $30,000 Futurity Sale incentive purse rewards horses that change hands through the 2-Year-Old Select Sale, and then return to Reno to compete in the Futurity the following year. The high scoring sale graduate in the Futurity Open preliminaries receives two-thirds of the incentive money and the high scoring Non Pro horse receives one-third.

“The incentive program gives people a chance to get paid back in a relatively short amount of time at the 3-year-old level. I really think it’s a big-time opportunity, especially for a non pro, not to deter the open guys, but a non pro can go buy a good 2-year-old with a high level of training by some of the biggest names in our business,” says Parnell.

Crawford, who won the 2015 Open Sale Incentive check for $19,600 riding Mr Hoo Ray (Play Dual Rey x What Chics Wanna Doo x Chic Please) for owners Mike and Diana McCabe, adds that the program is beneficial to consignors as well.

“For my 2-year-old program, when I’m taking horses to the sales, I think it’s an attractive thing for buyers. I sold a nice mare there last year that I think has a good shot at doing well this year. When a buyer can come back in a year, or two years, and have a chance at more money, that’s another selling point.”

Mr hoo ray, consigned to the 2014 Snaffle Bit futurity Select 2-year-Old Sale by todd and Pam crawford, returned to reno in 2015, shown by todd crawford, to win the Open Sale incentive for owners Mike and Diana Mccabe.

Rios of Mercedes is one of the last truly handmade all leather boots produced in the United States. There is no secret to making top quality boots. All you need is the finest leather and true bootmakers with years of experience and the desire to be the best at their craft. Rios has remained true to its roots by making boots for folks who are involved in performance and working horses, raise livestock and in general make their living outdoors. Rios has never cheapened their product by taking shortcuts, lowering standards or chasing fashion trends. We make boots for people who know what a pair of boots is intended for: all day comfort whether horseback or afoot.

Rios of Mercedes is famous for fit. Most people who experience the fit of a pair of Rios are customers for life. The lasts, dies and cutting patterns used by Rios of Mercedes have developed over the last 150 years until we now have refined the fit to one of comfort yet the boot is not loose on the foot. But these refinements are not only in lasts and patterns but are evident in the details of fine stitching, the hand lasting and the care in sole trimming, heel shape and the balance of the boot. The old fashioned channeled leather welt is the only method that will give a boot that slim profile to the foot that all too often is lost when the maker uses synthetic insoles and synthetic box toes. To our way of thinking this is what gives value to our product and renders it unique in today¹s cookie cutter world.

It PayS to Enroll

NRCHA Subscribed Stallion program adds value throughout the industry.

In the mid 1980s, the National Reined Cow Horse Association Board of Directors went in search of a promotional program for reined cow horse stallions that consistently sired NRCHA performing offspring. Other performance associations had incentive programs, and the NRCHA wanted to develop a unique identity for reined cow horse stallions and their foals.

That idea developed into the successful NRCHA Subscribed Stallion program, a far-reaching incentive that offers rewards from the show pen to the sale ring.

It’s a simple concept. Stallion owners subscribe their sire, in order for the offspring of a specific foaling year to be

eligible to show in the NRCHA Stakes. This enrollment fee can be paid at any time, up through the foal crop’s 5-yearold year — although the subscription fee does increase annually as the foal crop ages.

For each year that a stallion is enrolled, his foal crop from that year is eligible to show as a 4- and 5-yearold in the NRCHA Stakes, one of the premier limited-age events for reined cow horses. Annually, the Stakes boasts a payout of nearly $300,000, and only the offspring of enrolled stallions are eligible to compete.

To show appreciation to the generous stallion owners, the NRCHA also presents a monetary award to the nomina-

tor of the sire of each Stakes division champion.

The Subscribed Stallion program is far-reaching, as offspring of those stallions are also given priority at the prestigious NRCHA Sales at the Snaffle Bit Futurity in Reno, Nevada, each year. It’s a program that adds value to the entire industry and creates a support system for the reined cow horse breeder by strengthening the market for the offspring of enrolled stallions. The NRCHA helps promote Subscribed Stallions and their offspring on its web site, in the pages of the Reined Cow Horse News, and in the NRCHA Futurity Sales literature.

As an example of the rewards awaiting offspring of Subscribed Stallions, the 2016 NRCHA Stakes Open Champion, SJR Diamond Rey (Dual Rey x Shiners Diamond Girl x Shining Spark), shown by Corey Cushing, won $36,452 for owner San Juan Ranch. The 2016 Stakes Non Pro Champion, Shannon McCarty, pocketed a $6,979 check when she rode her gelding Chicaroos Cat (Hick Chicaroo x Kat Five x High Brow Cat) to the win.

The complete Subscribed Stallion program terms and conditions, and an enrollment form, are available in the Snaffle Bit Futurity Program and at www.NRCHA.com. Don’t miss out on your chance to add value to your stallion and his offspring!

Discount tire returns as title sponsor

oF Futurity non pro Divisions, bringing total aDDeD money to $100,000

For a third consecutive year, Discount Tire is supporting the National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity Non Pro divisions with a sponsorship, which brings the total added money for the Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro, Novice Non Pro and Amateur to an impressive $100,000.

The NRCHA welcomed the Scottsdale, Arizona-based company, the world’s largest tire and wheel retailer, to its corporate partner family in 2014.

“We are delighted to continue our relationship with Discount Tire, and we thank the company and its representatives, Wilson and Susan Lyle, for allowing us to maintain our Non Pro added money at a six-figure level for a third year here at the Snaffle Bit Futurity,” said NRCHA Executive Director Jay Winborn. “Maintaining attractive payouts is crucial to encouraging participation in our Premier Events, and thanks to Discount Tire and the Lyles, we are continuing to grow our association and the Non Pro divisions here at the Snaffle Bit Futurity.”

With more than 900 stores in 28 states, Discount Tire, which does business under the name America’s Tire in parts of California, was founded by Bruce T. Halle in a rented building in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Day by day, the one-man operation grew into what is now one of the most recognized names in the industry.

Everyone involved with the Discount/ America’s Tire organization adheres to

a common thread: Treat customers and fellow employees with respect and fairness. Care for those in need, always do what is right, work hard, be responsible and have fun.

National Reined Cow Horse Association competitors log thousands of miles on the road every show season, and they know what it means to have reliable tires, outstanding customer service and competitive pricing. Through their web sites, www.DiscountTire. com and www.AmericasTire.com, the company enables customers to locate stores, select tires and wheels, schedule appointments, sign up for discounts, and access safety tips and other useful information. The Discount Tire Interactive Wheel System allows cus-

tomers to visualize wheels on their vehicle prior to purchase.

Besides its stellar reputation among its customer base and its active role with the NRCHA, Discount Tire also holds a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. The company’s iconic “Thank You” television commercial, which first aired in 1975, earned a place in the Guinness Book in 2005 as the longest-running TV commercial of all time. The original ten-second spot depicts an elderly woman hurling a tire through a Discount Tire store window as the voice-over says, “If ever you’re not satisfied with one of our tires, please feel free to bring it back. Thank you.”

in 2015, the second year for Discount tire to sponsor the Snaffle Bit futurity Non Pro divisions, laurie Richards rode Kiss me A lot (master getta x Kiss me A little x Smart little Pepinic), to claim the $18,308 first-place Non Pro futurity Championship.

Reined Cow Horse contestants at the 2016 National High School finals Rodeo bring their ‘A’ game to Gillette, Wyoming, and represent big growth for the NRCHA’s future.

The best relationships grow stronger over time, and the partnership between the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) and the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA), now in its second year, appears built to go the distance. One clear piece of evidence: the 112 youth Reined Cow Horse contestants who galloped into Gillette, Wyoming’s sprawling Cam-Plex Event Center July 17 -23 to vie for the 2016 National High School Finals Rodeo Championship. The field of contestants was up 10 percent over 2015, the first year Reined Cow Horse was offered.

“This is our future. This is an investment in our future. I strongly believe, had we not formed a partnership with high school rodeo, in our lifetime, we could have seen the end of the reined cow horse because there was not an avenue to feed it,” said NRCHA Executive Director Jay Winborn.

By Stephanie Duquette

Reined cow horse caught on quickly in the high school rodeo community, due to the event’s natural appeal and the widespread support it has received.

“It’s taken more than a village to make this happen. It’s taken like the town of Manhattan. Our people on the NRCHA side have been absolutely fantastic. There are countless resources out there who have donated their time, their places, donated cattle, bought awards, given horses to kids so they could compete. It’s pretty amazing,” Winborn said.

A number of NRCHA Youth competitors crossed over to the NHSRA arena when Reined Cow Horse debuted last year, like Wyatt Fisher of Nipomo, California, who had a robust NRCHA earnings record of nearly $10,000 when he won the first NHSFR Reined Cow Horse Championship in 2015. Conversely, other youth had never heard of the NRCHA until they learned about it through high school rodeo.

“I did not know anything about [the NRCHA]. I thought the National High

School Rodeo Association made up the reined cow horse event,” said Opal Harkins of Billings, Montana.

Once she discovered the NRCHA, Harkins embraced everything it had to offer. She began showing in NRCHA Youth classes and was elected as the National Reined Cow Horse Youth Association (NRCHYA) Reporter.

“I really love all of it because it’s so new to me, but I have to say, going down the fence is the most fun thing I’ve ever done. It’s so much fun! I have been very happy about the merge between the NHSRA and the NRCHA,” Harkins said.

Harkins was among the top 20 who qualified for the Reined Cow Horse short go in Gillette. She also credits her newfound cow horse skills for helping her win the 2016 NHSFR Queen Contest.

in her final year of national High School rodeo eligibility, Jayde atkins, 18, of Broken Bow, nebraska, went out with a flourish, winning the reined Cow Horse Championship and the all-around Cowgirl title at the 2016 national High School finals rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming. in reined Cow Horse, the collegebound rodeo athlete won the first goround and earned big enough scores in the second go-round to give her a 7.5 point lead in the field of 20 short go qualifiers. But even that cushion wasn’t enough to quell her nerves as she guided her 2003 gelding, Sonitas last Dual (Dualin Jewels x Sonitas ann x Sonitas last), through the reining pattern.

“the short go, loping into the arena, i kept telling myself to be calm. With all these kids who were throwing out big scores, it was pretty nerve wracking. i knew i was ahead, but i wanted to keep it. Coming through my pattern, i was worried about my horse a little too much. When i got through my first circles, changed leads, and went to my second set of

“It was so much fun to start doing something different than what I had done all my life with rodeo. It has helped me in every event. It has made me a better rider for barrel racing, it has made me a better rider for roping, and it has helped my horsemanship skills for the queen contest,” Harkins said.

Bringing reined cow horse to the rodeo arena has stimulated new business for NRCHA professionals like Jeremy Knoles of North Platte, Nebraska, who coached the 2016 NHSFR Reined Cow Horse Champion, Jayde Atkins.

“As soon as people found out that high school rodeo was going to offer cow horse, my phone started ringing. It was immediate. They started calling and coming to ride,” Knoles said. “It’s really helped my business, with selling horses and giving lessons.”

circles, i decided to trust him, and i put my hand down, and he worked even better,” she said. “Our stops were awesome. He always stops huge. the cow work was the fun part we all love, and for me personally, i felt it was the best i’d ever done. it was just awesome. it’s so much fun, and an adrenalin rush, and i came out not being able to breathe!”

Her 146.5 in the short go rein work and 150.5 in the short go cow work not only earned atkins a total 884.5 in the average for the national Championship buckle and trophy saddle; they also garnered prizes from the nrCHa and the national reining Horse association (nrHa). for her high scoring cow work, atkins took home a buckle and a plaque from the nrCHa . for her high scoring rein work, she won a $2,500 scholarship from the reining Horse foundation, the philanthropic arm of the nrHa; and a Morrison bronze from the nrHa

“My horse is more of a fence horse, not a reining horse, and watching some of the kids who scored higher reining

Horse industry veteran Bozo Rogers, a NRCHA Professional and top-rated 3A judge, scored the action at the NHSFR in Gillette. He has also observed the positive effect the high school rodeo partnership has had on the NRCHA economy.

“The horse sales, the equipment sales, the lessons for the trainers. It’s a positive for everybody. The kids get exposed to a bigger overall view, with cow horse and rodeo. It’s pretty neat to see that they can start in such a positive way.”

The NRCHA provides support for high school rodeo youth, including free clinics, instructional videos, printed materials, and access to NRCHA Professionals like Knoles, who have agreed to be High School Rodeo representatives for reined cow horse. Those resources helped NHSFR contestants improve over the past year, according to Sam Rose, a 3A

scores than i did in the first two go-rounds, i figured that in the short go, i would try to have a solid reining score, have a big cow score, and hopefully win it. Winning both the rein work and the cow work is very humbling, and it proved to me that i can do it, and my horse is that good, and it’s just really cool. i’m excited,” atkins said.

atkins also qualified for pole bending, cutting and barrel racing at the national High School finals rodeo, and her performances in Gillette earned her the all around Cowgirl title and another trophy saddle.

atkins and her parents, JB and Sonya atkins, have a history training and showing in the nrCHa .

“My parents trained reined cow horses for the futurities and derbies when i was little. When we started high school rodeo, they quit so we could rodeo. to be able to do the cow horse in the high school rodeo

association was really awesome. We kind of threw it together at the last minute last year, like ‘oh gosh, we can cow horse,’ so we were pretty rusty, but this year i felt like we were a lot better and ready for our runs.”

“There were some really good kids last year,” said Rose. “As a whole, the kids are showing better this year. They know the course, they know the setup for the cows, 99 percent of them are getting out of the corner a lot better, and it’s a great change from last year as far as the quality and the depth.”

Association President Ronnie Haslerig agreed, “I think the level of the horses and the competitors has improved over last year. I see kids here who could go to any reined cow horse event in the country and represent high school rodeo very well. The reined cow horse event will make our kids better horsemen. It will introduce them to the next level of being a horseman instead of just being a roper, and a better horseman will make

STALLION SUBSCRIPTION RULES

1. By nomination of a foal crop, offspring of a subscribed stallion from the nominated foal crop are eligible to show in the NRCHA Stakes both as 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds. Offspring from a nominated foal crop of a subscribed stallion are also eligible for consideration for the NRCHA Select Yearling and Select 2-Year-Old Sales. Broodmares in foal to stallions subscribed for the current breeding year (next year’s foal crop) are eligible for consideration for the NRCHA Select Broodmare Sale.

2. Any stallion of any breed may be subscribed to the NRCHA Stakes program, subject to provisions as set forth in these rules and stipulated on the entry form.

3. Nominations must be postmarked and paid by February 1 of the following year for each calendar year to avoid paying the higher fee of the following year. However, to make yearlings, 2-year-olds, and/or bred mares eligible for consideration for the NRCHA Select Sales, those stallions must be subscribed by June 1 of that particular sale year.

4. Nomination fees will be as follows:

a. Paid during the breeding year (the next year’s foal crop) - $750 (or $2,500 for current breeding year and next four consecutive breeding years)

b. Weanling year - $1,000

c. Yearling year - $1,250

d. 2-year-old year - $1,500

e. 3-year-old year - $1,750

5. 4-year-old year: Nominations received between February 1 of the 4-year-old year and the final entry deadline for that NRCHA Stakes event will be accepted at the rate of $2,500. 5-year-old foal crops that have not been previously subscribed may also be paid in for $2,500.

6. All nominators of stallions must be members in good standing of the NRCHA.

7. Nominators may be persons other than the owner or syndicate manager of the stallion in the event the stallion owner or syndicate manager chooses not to enroll the stallion. In the event that the nominator is someone other than the owner or syndicate manager of the stallion, the nominator represents that they are authorized to nominate the stallion.

8. All subscription fees will be made payable to the NRCHA in US funds or its equivalent.

9. The added purse for the NRCHA Stakes will consist of not less than the total stallion nomination fees received less 20% for NRCHA administration. The remaining 80% will be divided between the Open and Non Pro divisions in accordance with NRCHA Board policy. The NRCHA shall have the right to supplement the added-money purse for the event, but shall be under no obligation to do so. A minimum of 5% of the total purse will be used for the Stallion Nominator Award as described below.

10. There shall be no refunds of the nomination fee paid for any reason, and the fee (less 20% for NRCHA administration as set forth above) will become part of the purse for the NRCHA Stakes.

11. In the event a subscribed stallion changes ownership, any previously paid foal crops will remain eligible under the new owner. Nominator Awards will be paid to the original nominator unless otherwise specified in writing to the NRCHA and signed by both the original nominator and the new owner.

12. Stallion Nominator Award: The nominator of the stallion siring the winners of the NRCHA Stakes will receive a monetary award as set by the NRCHA Board of Directors.

13. A list of subscribed stallions nominated to this program and their eligible foal crops will be posted on the NRCHA website, and will be available upon request from the NRCHA.

14. These rules are subject to change at any time by the NRCHA Board of Directors.
