TEMECULA — Another year of hard work and accomplishment in the Southern California Reined Cow Horse Association came to a head Oct. 17-19 as the SCRCHA held its Cut For A Cause and Saddle Shoot Out event at Casner Ranch.

Four Shoot Out Champions were crowned on Sunday after the Cut For A Cause competition on Friday and the NRCHA and SCRCHA reined cow horses classes over the weekend. This year’s fund-raising cutting event garnered $5,000 for the El Rodeo Riding Club in Orange County.

The El Rodeo Riding Club is a Southern California group that promotes the equestrian lifestyle with a vast range of activities across many age groups, including providing a safe environment for children to become introduced to horses. Summer camps, riding lessons, horse show, trail and nature preservation activities are part of the line-up that helps promote core values while preserving tradition.

In Shoot Out action, Glen Aspinall captured the Open Division riding Michele Amon’s Moody Blues Brother. Aaron Brookshire took reserve riding his Very Smart Cowhorse — one of three horses he had in the Open Shoot Out line-up. Brookshire also took sixth Brock Hieber’s Shining Rose Bud and 12th on Judith Young’s Miss Soula Cee, respectively.
