BAKERSFIELD – These days, when it rains, relief pours. That’s true even when a deluge disrupts a year-end event as big as the California Cow Horse Association’s Futurity and Bridle Spectacular.
After Friday’s herd work kicked off the three-day show at the Sundance Arena Oct. 31-Nov. 2, heavy rains canceled all Saturday action, and Sunday was used to complete non-Open classes. A make-up show has been scheduled Dec. 6, featuring one-day, single point classes with Shootouts for the saddle and buckle to be takenfrom the high cow scores of the day.
Handsome prizes from sponsors, including title sponsor Lucas Oil Products and Protect The Harvest.com, were given to winners of the classes held.
Nicolas Barthelemy rode a pair of Sheri Jamieson-owned horses, All That Boon and Sonita Lana Rey, to first and second, respectively, in the Open and Intermediate Open Futurity classes,taking home nearly $4,000 between them.
Michelle Strickland, riding her Spooky Little Cat, stood out in non pro competition, collecting more than $4,300 for her wins atop the Non Pro, Non Pro Intermediate and Novice Non Pro Futurities.
Wyatt Fisher took his Dudes Stylish Diva to the Non Pro Amateur win and was reserve to Strickland in the Non Pro Novice.
Eric Frietas, riding his Im Countin Chics, finished reserve to Strickland in the Non Pro and Intermediate Non Pro competition, earning $2,064.
