Todd Bergen and Shiners Don Juan won the Open Snaffle Bit Futurity and a cool $100.000 for owner Janiejill Tointon. Todd had an accident and a concussion the weekend before the Futurity and could not work his horses leading up to the show. Still not fully recovered he managed to stay in possition for the ever so exciting last leg of the Finals, the fencework, where the duo scored a 217 for a total of 657,5 composite score to secure the win. More storylines here too! The owner almost had the horse sold right before the finals but the buyer backed out at the last minute, leaving her with a Futurity winner! The way to early deceased (2009) Smart Shiner is the sire of Don Juan and he sure has left a mark on the industry with his very limited crops.Smart Shiner was by Shining Spark-Smart Hickory (a 3/4 sister to Smart Little Lena). Smart Hickory offspring earned $585.000 in cutting, cowhorse and reining events.
