Headed back from a great time and horse show in Rapid City. The South Dakota Reined Cow Horse Association put on a wonderful horse show that ran smoothly. The people are all so friendly. Darrel has always wanted to come to this show and support his long time clients Ty and Melissa Fowler. His other Client Lanette Fry who now owns our horse Murphey and has Rojo in training with Darrel came from Montana to show.
Darrel was so excited that Lanette and Melissa did so well in their classes. Melissa kept excelling each go on her horse Stevie. Lanette and Rojo won the Non Pro Boxing Spectacular and placed 4th in the Non Pro Boxing winning some good money and a beautiful buckle.
Darrel and Champ, owned by Ty and Melissa, took home the Open Bridle Championship and won a beautiful buckle. These two are such an amazing team. Darrel can't wait to get in the show pen on Champ again. Then Darrel had a chance to finally get to show our horse Kenny. ( No he didn't let our girls take him to college lol). They placed 2nd in the Open Bridle Spectacular.
Darrel placed 13th out of 70 Snaffle Bit Horses on Zak, owned by Ty and Melissa. Zak is really coming along and improving fast.
I took over Alis and Tylie's job as Assistant to the Trainer. The boss wasn't too hard on me except made me walk/run at least 8 miles a day. Lol. But I did get to ride and assist him in the practice pen. I think I am going to like my new side job. Lol.
Reno Snaffle But Futurity is our next show here in a couple of weeks.
