Mike McEntire & Cosmic Vintage Tie for Win of Adequan® NAAC Nov. Horse Open L2
Mike McEntire and Cosmic Vintage have a history together that reaches to the west coast. When owner Megan Lindberg purchased the c**t he was three, she sent him to McEntire to be ridden. “Megan lives in California, and when we lived in California I rode him for a year. After I left California he was injured in his stall, and hurt his back. She sent him back to me once he was sound,” McEntire explained.
It seems the pair have meshed well since pairing up again, as they tied for the win of the ancillary and Adequan® NAAC Novice Horse Open Level 2, and were the sole champions of the ancillary Level 3. “He’s been doing really good, and came together really nice,” McEntire shared. “He was good today and easy to show. The ground was a little easier than outside the pen I guess. He still stopped well, but the last stop was really good.”
Cosmic Vintage, now five years old, is by NRHA Two Million Dollar Sire A Sparkling Vintage and out of Starjac Miss. “He’s on the same team as me, and that’s what is so good about showing him,” he said. “I thank my wife, Natalie, and of course the owner of this horse, Megan Lindberg, who is a great support.”
While McEntire is looking ahead to 2021, he shared his thoughts on the NRHA Futurity. “I think everyone has made a great effort to make it work, and it is working. That’s the thing – we get to be here and show our horses, and we’re getting through it,” he said.
In addition to checks totaling $3,757, McEntire and Cosmic Vintage earned several prizes, including a Bob’s Custom Saddle, a Platinum Performance champion’s jacket, a 10-lb. bucket of Platinum Performance, a custom Montana Silversmiths trophy buckle, a Bluebonnet Feeds gift certificate, SmartPak SmartTherapy Quick Wraps, a garment bag from Brandt Blankets, a Classic Equine fleece cooler, and Eqvalan from Dr. Joe Carter.
