Carl Gerwien of Nanton, Alberta, marked 219 to lead the qualifying round for Non-Pro division of the Mercuria NCHA World Series of Cutting at the Calgary Stampede Monday. Eight riders qualified for Wednesday’s finals.<\/p>\n

Gerwien, who was the first Canadian inducted into the NCHA Non-Pro Hall of Fame in 2005, rode Shes Almost Heaven. The 6-year-old mare was bred by Kyle Manion by Im Countin Checks out of Smooth And Stunning, a Smooth As A Cat mare that goes back to $1.6 million producer Autumn Boon. Autumn Boon’s offspring include Im Countin Checks.<\/p>\n

Gerwien has been a finalist at the Calgary Futurity, Big Sky Futurity and Canadian Supreme with Shes Almost Heaven. The mare has earned more than $20,000.<\/p>\n

This will be the first Mercuria NCHA World Series finals for Gerwien, who is a four-time winner of the Pacific Coast Futurity.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Conn of Hempstead, Texas and Boon Tooth marked 217 for the second high score in the go-round. She was riding Boon Tooth, a Mr Boonsmal To You gelding that has taken her to 11 previous World Series finals.<\/p>\n

Carol Ward of Rancho Murieta, California, celebrated her birthday on Monday by qualifying for the finals on Spooked By A Cat, a son of Cat Ichi. Ward won back-to-back Mercuria World Series finals at Calgary in 2011-2012 on Lil Dulce Lu.<\/p>\n
