President's Note
Our Rancher’s Class Brought the Heat to Corning!
WOW! Our Rancher’s Class had some amazing riders in August! They definitely brought the heat to Corning—and not even Mother Nature could outshine the competition!
In the Limited Rancher’s Class, congratulations to Lily Bunting on an outstanding performance and the win! Lily took home $1,000 and a beautiful Skyline Silversmiths Champion Buckle.
Brandi Schanno, aboard Tangyote Chex, earned second place, taking home $600 and a new rope bag. Our youngest exhibitor, Ryder Fitzgerald, put together a great run to finish third and earn $400. Way to go, Ryder!
The Open Rancher’s Class was just as exciting. Clay Damuth marked an impressive 74.5 to claim the championship, earning $937.50 and a Skyline Silversmiths Champion Buckle. Luis Valdez and Will Pennebaker tied for second, each taking home $468.75.
In the Non Pro Rancher’s Class, Casey Looney laid down a huge run, scoring a whopping 75 to clinch the championship! Casey took home $1,312.50 and a Skyline Silversmiths Champion Buckle.
Right behind him was Libby Merkley, who scored a 74 to earn second place and $787.50. Tyler Hickerson, showing Hickory Monster Mash, finished third and took home $525.
Congratulations to all of our Rancher’s Class exhibitors! We love seeing the talent, horsemanship, and great competition that you bring to these classes.
Doug Ingersoll Memorial Spectaculars Return in October!
We are especially proud to once again offer the Annual Doug Ingersoll Memorial Spectaculars at our October show.
This year, we are offering three divisions with a total of $7,500 in added money for our exhibitors! The NCRCHA Board of Directors is working hard to gather prizes and sponsors to make this memorial event something special.
We are incredibly grateful for the businesses and individuals who support NCRCHA and our exhibitors. Events like this simply would not be possible without the generosity of our cow horse community.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or making a donation to the Doug Ingersoll Memorial Spectaculars, please contact us at NCRCHA2023@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing everyone in October and celebrating another great weekend of horses, horsemanship, competition, and cow horse!
