posted in Uncategorized |July 11 & 12, Nevis, MN — Patti Blackwell showed strong on her four-year-old Highbrow Cat daughter, winning the non-pro derby class on Saturday and placing second on Sunday. Madonna continued her winning ways under Bob Janssen, winning the open derby class on Sunday.
Janssen Performance Horses took a small contingency of horses to this show. Several clients and/or horses needed breaks from the busy summer cutting schedule. Despite that, there was plenty of success to go around.
Ryan Lind added earnings in his quest for the Area 6 championships in both the Junior Youth and $2000 Limited Rider. Ryan currently leads them both, and won 3 out of 4 times in the pen at Strait Rail, placing second in his other run. He rode Sunny Rey Solano, Smart Chicaway and Bodee Quixote.
Jim Spalla took second on his new mare, Discos Hickory Stick, in the $2000 Limited Rider.
Smart Chicaway and Bob Janssen also pulled a second place check in the Open, and Anita Janssen earned checks in the $5000 Novice Horse and $20000 Non Pro.
