Celebration of Champions

After the Abilene Spectacular and the Augusta Futurity, the cowhorses are now on the move! Celebration of Champions has kicked off in San Angelo, Tx. The Circle Y Derby for 4-5 year olds concluded last night with the cowwork. A really uneven bunch of cows had the contestants really working for it. This is the top 20.


My favourite among them was CNN Crystal Boon. A five year old stallion by Boon A Little - Crystal Lady Gun. Boon A Little is a blueroan full brother to Wild Thing DNA meaning Smart Little Lena on Autumn Boon. This powerful bayroan, CNN Crystal Boon, started off great with a 146 in the herdwork followed by a 146,5 in the reinwork. Unfortunately rider Kyle Noyce drew one of the less cooperative cows and only marked a 131 in the cowwork. Good looking horse though and worked like a charm in the herdwork especially.

Winner was Boyd Rice, surprice, surprice, riding Boonie Tunes by Pepto out of great mare Shiney Tari. The pair scored a respectable 147 down the fence, for a total of 440.5, to hold off Lyn Anderson aboard Tuckers Smart Cat with half a point. Lyn and Tucker grew stronger for every dicipline and marked 141 in the herd, 148 in the rein and finished off with a sizzling 151 in the cowwork.


On the home front we´re gearing up for the move. Got appointments this week with realestate agents to sell the house. Plenty off things to keep us busy, sorting through all the crap you´ve kept over the years, cleaning, washing and trying to make the house respectable for their visit.

Another champion, Ben turns 17 today! Happy birthday son, love you!
Will have him & his girlfriend, his mom and her spouce over for dinner tonight too. Somewher in there I hope to get some work done with the horses. I´m real anxious to get Cat started and will get her out and about today hopefully.
