Super Stakes and Spades!

Just when you thought you had your fill of cuttinghorse drama, the Super Stake Classic 2nd go yesterday gave you some more.
Several really impressive runs with Spooky Smooth & Gary Gonsalves posting a 222. It took a combined 434,5 to advance to the clean slate finals, Sunday. Several of the favoured contestants ran into trouble and were left out of the finals. I was sound asleep when Third Cutting and Boyd Rice marked a pedestrian 210, Rockin W a 183, and both Boon Too Suen and Tuesdays surprise Fiesta Zack lost cows and laid eggs.


Bet Hesa Cat posted a 220.5 and "won" the goarounds with a combined 439.5. He seems to be coming into his own this year and is getting better and better. I still root for Matt Gaines and Special Nu Baby in the finals. The duo scored 2x 219 in the go arounds and is due for a championship!


Posting this pic of a pretty cool spade bit made by Jeff Mundell and carried by his horse Tiger. It´s his first piece and he seems to have got it down pat. This is what I´ve been talking about with spades, the horse needs to pick it up and hold it himself! Picking it up like this enables him to respond to the lightest of signals. Pretty cool dragon motif on the cheekpieces too don´t you think? Good jobb Jeffery!
