So, that leads me to think that  everyone in attendance didn't just receive a free Billy Crothers clinic, but they also received a free how to strike and run the fire clinic from Jim Quick.

Written by Administrator   

It is the first day of June and we have our list of competitors for the Hammers and Hooves Horse Fair in Edgewood, New Mexico. Our 32 competitors are:

Raleigh Desiato, Billy van Houten, Jim Quick, Timmy Bolduc, Iain Ritchie, Ben Yager, Scott Inmon, Peter Reynolds, Travis Koons, John McNerney, Eric Swarr, Scott Norgaard, David Harris, Daniel Jones, Jake Whitman, Chris Madrid, Seth Ireland, Hooter, David Sierra, Blake Kay, Todd Walker, Billy Reed, Jeff Allen, Tim McPhee, Dusty Franklin, Vern Powell, Dennis Hill, Jason Hill, Ryan Stoops, Billy Lewis, Dirk Lewis and Mike Stone.

That means we have two Category 1 competitors, eight Category 2 competitors, eight Category 3 competitors and fourteen Category 4 competitors.

Travis Koons, our National Champion, will continue his quest for a repeat while Jim Quick will try to widen his slim overall season lead. Local competitors Chris Madrid and Mike Stone will look to have strong showings for the home crowd while we all live on the wild side for the weekend at the Wildlife West Nature Park.

There is no doubt, all of the competitors are looking forward to a Calgary warm-up, a free Billy Crothers AWCF clinic and a super competition.

If you are sorry you didn't get signed up, you may still call Lorraine and compete in Edgewood (a late fee will be charged). Her number is (575) 868-2414.

We have several Novice Competitors signed up for the Hammers and Hooves Horse Fair, more information to come on them a little later.
