Score: 71 Marked a +¹/2  on this stop!! SweeEEeet!!!

Congratulations to Chase Reynolds (age 10) and Miss June (age 9), on their first show together at the Houston Livestock Palomino Show March 22nd. They tied for first in the 13 and under Western Pleasure and Horsemanship classes.  Unfortunately, they lost the tie-breaker in both classes and ended up with 2nd in each, but a great effort for a reining horse, competing with the western pleasure horses.  This team has only been together for 3 months, and already is doing very well. Keep up the good work Chase and Miss June!!
