From NCHA’s Daily Chatter<\/a><\/em>
\nDan Hansen, Weatherford, TX, was Saturday’s high-scoring rider in the second day of the second go-round of Non-Pro competition in the NCI Building Systems NCHA Futurity. He scored 216 points on Zacks Tiana Doc, by Zack T Wood.
\nHansen, who leads in three divisions of 2007 NCHA World Championship competition, including the Non-Pro, drew third to work in the fourth set.<\/p>\n

“The second cow that we cut was probably the pick of the herd,” said Hansen. “It was really good.<\/p>\n

“He was a little bit tentative it seemed in the first go-round on his first cow, but he just got more confident through that run. Then today, he felt like a different horse. He felt very comfortable and confident.”<\/p>\n

Hansen’s scores of 211 and 216 combined to place him sixth among aggregate leaders.<\/p>\n

“He’s grown up a lot here in two runs,” said Hansen of Zacks Tiana Doc. “It’s amazing how fast they mature in this coliseum.”<\/p>\n

Zacks Tiana Doc is half-brother, out of Mia Tiana, by Tiana Doc, to Bobcorn, Bobin Hood and Bobs Tiana Doc, with total earnings of more than $280,000.<\/p>\n

“I have a real soft spot for these colts,” said Hansen, who has ridden all three. “It’s been fun to have that mare and see all of her babies do so good.”<\/p>\n

Hansen currently leads the NCHA World Championship Non-Pro standings with $86,116, earned partially on Bobcorn, by Bob Acre Doc. He also leads the $10,000 Novice Non-Pro on Bobcorn, and the $3,000 Novice Non-Pro on Bobin Hood, also by Bob Acre Doc.<\/p>\n

“Hauling has helped me become more comfortable in the herd, in cutting, and with being a little more patient making my cuts” said Hansen.<\/p>\n

“A lot of times, at the weekend cuttings, the cattle are pretty tough and you have to become knowledgable and not necessarily get locked in on one of your picks.<\/p>\n

“I think that’s helped me more than anything,” he added. “I probably rode to the herd 300 to 400 times this year. Riding to the herd that often, even a guy as hard-headed as me learns something, once in a while. A lot of times you have a little more time up there than you really think, before you have to make a definite commitment.<\/p>\n

“That’s probably the biggest thing that I could single out that’s helped me this year from hauling for the World – just being able to be more patient and let things develop.”<\/p>\n
