Wiens bred 9-year-old Trava Bob by Travalena out of PF Docs Med, by Peppys Formula. Wiens and Trava Bob were $15,000 Novice Non-Pro finalists at the NCHA Western National Championships in 2010.

Jim Bob Kaufmann of Clarksburg, California, took the reserve championship with a 221 on Smart N Pretty, a 6-year-old Dulces Smart Lena mare bred by Carol Ward.
