TEMECULA — The Southern California Reined Cow Horse Association each year honors Grant Berg at its July show. The club focuses on youth riders, and entry fees are for youth riders at this show. SCRCHA believes that by supporting our youth, it instills a love for the sport of cow horse and assures the sport’s health into the future.
This year’s Grant Berg Memorial Show had a great turnout with some surprisingly moderate temperatures. July in Temecula can be brutally hot, so participants were pleasantly surprised with cooler temps this year.
The cutting, herd work and ranch classes took place on Friday, and were followed by a fun and well-attended barbeque at the Rich Ranch, located about a mile from Green Acres Ranch where the event was held. Trainers Roy Rich and Chuy Roman were on grill duty and did not disappoint. It was a fun way to spend the 4th of July, and the views from the Rich Ranch were unparalleled.
On Saturday, the SCRCHA conducted its first Pee Wee Flag class and crowned its first winner, Waylon Hannon aboard Wreckless Rey.
The day proved competitive and full of action. In Spectacular classes, Dustin Turk won Spectacular Open on RR Bailout Cat, owned by Alex Holcomb. In the Non Pro, Ruby Robbins rode Kelly Hannon’s Wreckless Rey to the title, with Sue Carter riding her Von Halo Nic to the Box Drive win. Max Stein and Special Time Edition captured the Non Pro Boxing, and Alex Zingg was the Youth Fence champion on Uno Im Smart. Taking the Youth Boxing title was Hailey Harrison, riding Soula Shining Star, owned by Rocking J Ranch.
Sunday’s classes were also competitive, and the Grant Memorial Circuit Champions rose to the top.
