It was a good day catching up with some familiar Canadian faces (now Texans). Kenny spent close to 4 years in apprenticeship with Matt and James Findler. To now watch Matt be a part of team WCB with some of the top farriers in North America is a full circle moment.

We got to cheer on this pair yesterday in the limited non pro boxing prelims here in Ft. Worth! Lee Cayer and Cher is Ozzum scored a 142.5 rein/141.5 cow. Although it wasn’t quite enough to make it back to finals we are incredibly proud of this duo. From beginning their Cowhorse journey only one short year ago to showing on the biggest stage the reined cowhorse has to offer. They have chased their dreams down relentlessly and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of it.

This is an interesting case we got to be a part of recently. Horse presented mild to moderately sore on the front end. After ruling out basic tenderness X-rays of the feet were done. X-rays revealed foreign material in an old crack from a previous injury on the right front.
Kenny resected the foot, opening up the area and pulling a bunch of dirt and debris out from inside the hoof wall. He applied a pad and custom bar shoe for support. Less than 24 hours later this horse was totally sound and has stayed sound.

It was a beautiful morning at Silver Slate arena today! Our horses worked well at the ARCHA schooling show

Justaboutthere marking a 70 in the Open Ranch Cutting and a 141 (70 rein/71 cow) in the Open Snaffle Bit.

Dulcies Smart Metall owned by Melanie Gustafsen marking a 71 in the Open Ranch Cutting. This 6 yr old mare came to us with 30 days on her as a 2yr old. After only 4 months of training to be able to show her and mark a 71 is a testament to her natural ability and talent!

Thank you for hosting another good show!

For your consideration:
“Reyz Smooth Criminal” 2021 gelding by Smooth as a Cat x Reyvinita (Nitas Wood). Dam has produced one other NRCHA money earner.
Criminal has a solid cowhorse foundation. He is a big stopper and quick with his front feet. This gelding is cowy and has a fantastic mind as well. He is an easy guy to have around the barn.
Criminal is ready to finish any way you’d like.
No vices, currently located in Crossfield AB but will be available to try in Saskatoon August 16-18 and Claresholm August 29-September 1.
