SCRCHA wraps up 2024 season with September Classic

By SUE CARTER / for the Horsetrader

TEMECULA — The September Classic was the last show of 2024 for Southern California Reined Cow Horse Association. Soaring temperatures did not deter the hardy competitors from vying for the year-end points and coveted Doug Williamson Memorial Buckle, sponsored by Molly’s Custom Silver. The start time was moved up by an hour in an effort to save the horses and competitors from the heat.

Tina Lattanzio aboard her own Smooth Moves won both the Open and Non Pro Cutting, with Craig Cowley aboard Peppys Autumn Cat coming in second in Open Cutting.

Greer Hartman, riding Kit Kat Sugar Shack, and Roy Rich, riding Half Past Boon, tied for the first slot in Open Herd Work. Greer also tied for first in the Non Pro Herd work with Patti Hartman riding Call Me WR. The Junior Ranch Riding was won by Dustin Turk on RR Bailout Cat and Jenni Dawson riding Huckleberry Cat to the win in Senior Ranch Riding. Jenni took first in the AQHA Ranch Riding with Huckleberry Cat also. Marie De Yesso won the Amateur Ranch Riding and AQHA Amateur as well.

Other big winners were the Spectacular Champions: Roy Rich riding Half Past Boon in the Open Spectacular; Ruth Noring riding Nacho in the Non Pro Spectacular; Patti Hartman aboard Call Me WR in the Boxing Spectacular; and Patti Hartman riding Call Me WR in the Non Pro Boxing Spectacular.

Rich also rode Half Past Boon to the win in Open Bridle on Saturday, with Turk winning on Sunday aboard Wright On Holly Time.
