Last year the duo won the Non-Pro Super Stakes with 222 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaul (Hansma) had him ready for me and my help had the three cows I cut picked out,\u201d said Queen. \u201cThere were some great horses and great competitors tonight. We were just fortunate that it worked out for us. It just happened to be our night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Queen drew midway through the second bunch.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cThe first set of cattle were really tough,\u201d noted Queen. \u201cThe second set started that way, but then we had a couple of runs put together right before me. So the momentum started building and it all kind of fell together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnytime you win, it\u2019s great,\u201d he added. \u201cHe\u2019s been such a great horse for us. He has a big stop, a lot of eye appeal, and a big heart. He\u2019s the whole package.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"floatleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/features\/pix\/sister_cd_20070404c.jpg\" \/>Last year\u2019s leading money earner with $311,596, Sister CD, by CD Olena, was bred by the Bar H Ranche, Weatherford, TX, the leading breeder of cutting horses in 2006. He was trained by Paul Hansma, and purchased at three by Queen and his wife Elizabeth, who rode two Non-Pro Classic finalists last night, including CD Hombre, by CD Olena.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Hansma, the leading cutting horse trainer in 2006, ranked fifth among all-time leading NCHA riders, won the 2006 Abilene Spectacular, as well as the Breeders Invitational and the NCHA Gelding Stakes on Sister CD, who is out of Little Baby Sister, by Dual Pep.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve Champion Wesley Galyean placed as reserve champion with 222.5 points on his stallion Spots Hot, the earner of more than $480,000. Galyean rode Spots Hot\u00a0 as champion of the 2004 NCHA Open Futurity and as reserve champion of last year\u2019s Super Stakes Non-Pro Classic.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, Galyean drew the unenviable last hole to work in the 27-horse finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe felt we got some good cows for where we were,\u201d said Galyean. \u201cHe was trying his heart out and I was trying my heart out. We just went down there and did as good as we could do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spots Hot, by Chula Dual, drew double duty yesterday, performing breeding duties at EE Ranches Stallion Station, Whitesboro, TX, in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe knows the program and he\u2019s a cowhorse,\u201d said Galyean. \u201cHe knows his job both places. It\u2019s just a privilege to be on his back and ride him.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skip Queen and Sister CD made a clean sweep last night with a 224-point win&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cutting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
