Rey N Style

Rey N Style & Sean Flynn topped the Tunica Futurity 4yo open finals. A 221.5 got the pair a check for $17.000 and a championship. The duo finished 16th at the Futurity in December but had the table set going as nr 22 of 24 horses in the Tunica finals. Sid Smooth and Matt Miller had a 217 as the first to work in the finals. Later changed to a 218, the pair held on as most all of the competition faltered and had misses both high and low. Clint Allen and Dual With Style as nr 14, managed to squeeze through and post a 218.5 to take the lead, but the remaining ten all had a good shot at the top spot. Flynn started off with a deep cut that netted a black calf in the center of the arena. First turn almost became the last though as the cow turned left and Rey N Style went right! Small miss that could've cost them. Sean kept working though, 25 seconds on the first cow and Flynns "chromy" mare got better and better. He quit the first and entered the herd in the middle splitting and flowing the majority to his left. Found his second cow and followed her out on top and lay down his hand with 1.07 on the clock. Rey N Style stayed head to head with her for another 25 seconds and entered the herd a 3rd time with 40 seconds left. Sean knew it was his cutting to loose at this point and sought out his 3rd cow, found her and agressively separated her from a buddy with 17 seconds left. A good, clean finish with lots and lots of working time netted the highscore and Championship buckle. The 4 year old mare is out of sire Dual Smart Rey's second crop. First major win and they look competetive enough as 18 are performers out of the 36 total born 2007-2008 and with $250.000 won so far.

Rey N Style

Tunica 4yo finals

Worked Cat on the cows Saturday. She did really good for as long as we could go. She ended up pulling something on her hindquarters and we had to abort. She seems better now though after rubbing her down and keeping her warm. Will leave her be this week and monitor the situation before we climb aboard again. Cold weather probably factored in and she did make a couple of pretty big moves before signaling discomfort.

Used Brady to move the cows to the arena and he really lights up when I give him a real job! Loves to work the cows anyway he can! Ida and Elton helped out to with honours along with footsoldiers Annelie & Jane.
