Ninety-five Non-Pro contenders advanced to Wednesday’s second go-round of the NCHA Derby with scores of 206 or higher – one point less than the 207 needed in Open competition.<\/p>\n

Kelle Earnheart and Jennifer Foland, each from Weatherford, TX, tied for the win of the first go-round with 218 points, scored on Monday.<\/p>\n

Earnheart rode her 2009 NCHA Non-Pro Futurity champion Badgers Perscription; Foland showed her NCHA Non-Pro Super Stakes champion Shes Twice As Smooth.<\/p>\n

In 2000, at 15, Earnheart showed Hernando to become the youngest winner to ever win the NCHA Non-Pro Derby.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s high-scoring rider ,with 217 points (the second-highest score from the first round), was Greg Coalson, Weatherford, TX, aboard Lena This, by his stallion Quejanaisalena.<\/p>\n

Coalson also marked 212.5 points riding Daisy Dots, by Quejanaisalena.<\/p>\n

“It was pretty scary watching the cattle,” said Coalson who drew to ride both horses deep in the last set of the day.<\/p>\n

“The bunch before us was pretty tough. You couldn’t let them get the edge on you.<\/p>\n

“The two cows I cut on (Lena This) were really good. He needs something to challenge him and they made him get serious.<\/p>\n

“I wish the first cow I cut on (Daisy Dots) had been better, but it was slim pickings there towards the end.”<\/p>\n

Coalson and his wife Shelly raised both horses. Greg was a Derby Non-Pro finalist in 2005 on Lena This’s dam, Fancy Nancy Dual. He also showed Daisy Dot’s dam, Dual Citizen, to place third in the 2003 NCHA Non-Pro Derby.<\/p>\n

Both of Coalson’s mounts were semi-finalists in the NCHA Super Stakes; Coalson and Daisy Dots were also finalists in the Breeders Invitational.<\/p>\n

Classic Challenge champ looks to the Derby<\/h3>\n

Bonnie Martin, winner of the show’s 5 & 6-Year-Old Non-Pro title 10 days ago, scored 216.5 points yesterday on Light N Lindy to take her place among the leaders of the Non-Pro Derby first go-round.<\/p>\n

“I was a little timid on the first cow because I don’t practice with her, I just get on and go show,” said Martin, whose husband Frank, a Las Vegas building contractor, also qualified for the second go-round.<\/p>\n

“After the first cow, I felt like she knew I was up there, and she was a little more forgiving on the second cow.”<\/p>\n

Light N Lindy, by Light N Lena, carried Martin as a finalist (13th place) in the NCHA Non-Pro Super Stakes.<\/p>\n

Hans Kuhn, who owns a cutting horse training and breeding facility in southwest Germany, spent Tuesday honing his judging skills in the “sixth box” atop the judges’ stand in Will Rogers Coliseum.<\/p>\n

Kuhn got hooked on cutting when he stayed at Manion Ranch while studying equine technology in Gainesville, Texas. Now he competes in Europe and also judges NCHA-approved European events.<\/p>\n

“The cattle are very expensive over there,” said Kuhn. “We pay 65 to 75 euros a head per day.” That computes to about $84 to $97 in U.S. currency.<\/p>\n

“Most of the shows in Germany we manage to get beef cattle, but it isn’t easy,” he added. “In France, they wait for a cattle truck that is on the way to the slaughter house.<\/p>\n

“Truck drivers over there have to take a one to two-hour break every four hours, so (some) drivers will stop and unload, sleep two hours, get cash-in-hand, and load them back up and go on to the slaughter house. That’s the cheapest and easiest way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
