Summin up the Futurity semi finals

Great action yesterday in the NCHA Futurity semifinals!
Some pretty impressive performances and some really, really talented horses.

Starting with some pics of super popular Non Pro champion, young Idaho cowboy Kade Smith and Lean This Rey scoring a 222!

The open semifinals gave us our money's worth of action & drama before the final 25 were set.
Great, great ponies here and trying to come up with a winner is almost impossible. My money is on a trio that I think have been pretty consistent and shown serious talent: The easy pic would be Time To Hangem and Austin Shepard winning the round with a 222. The semi winners don't usually come out on top though so I'm sticking with my early prediction of Lloyd Cox repeating aboard Hottish 218.5. He might've topped yesterday had he been able to come of his second cow, but she wouldn't let him. Very nice horse though. Another pair would be Michael Coopers duo Im Short And Smart 221, and go around winner Jae Bar One Time 217.
