Texas A&M student Laura Fenimore claimed the Non-Pro second go-round lead yesterday with 219.5 points in the Borden Milk NCHA Futurity in Fort Worth. Her cumulative score of 436 puts her half a point ahead of Kyle Manion on Calm Cool Smooth.<\/p>\n

“There weren’t many cows left,” said Fenimore, who had scored 216.5 points in the first go-round. “I knew I needed to be clean and it worked out a little better than that.<\/p>\n

Fenimore is riding Misplaced Cat, the first foal out of Tangy Starlight, the horse that she showed to win the 2005 NCHA $10,000 Novice Non-Pro World Finals.<\/p>\n

“She’s pretty much the spitting image of her mother,” said Fenimore. “Her attitude and the way she works a cow, they’re pretty much the same as her mother.”<\/p>\n

Misplaced Cat, by WR This Cats Smart, was trained for Fenimore by Ronnie Rice.<\/p>\n

“He does such a great job with her,” said Fenimore of Rice. “I don’t think you can put this mare in a bad spot.<\/p>\n

“She’s so solid and reads a cow really well. I think if I kicked her out there a little too far, she’d probably come right back to me.”<\/p>\n

Although Fenimore has competed in weekend events since she was small, this is her first time to show at the NCHA Futurity.<\/p>\n

Tim May, Saltillo, MS, and Dan Hansen, Weatherford, TX, tied with 218 points, yesterday’s second-highest score.<\/p>\n

Hansen is showing Cornrey Twitty,\u00c2\u00a0 who he bred out of Bobcorn, the horse that he rode to win the 2007 NCHA $10,000 Novice Non-Pro World Championship and more than $150,000.<\/p>\n

“The way he moves, he reminds me of his sire,” said Hansen, who trained the Dual Smart Rey-sired gelding himself.<\/p>\n

Tim May purchased his mount, Exclusive Thyme, in September from Jo Goertz. The One Time Pepto-sired colt is trained by Sean Flynn.<\/p>\n

“I really like his stop and his intelligence,” said May. “He’s probably the most athletic colt I’ve had, but his brain is his biggest asset.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
