Friday Night Lights

Today saw an exciting close to the NRBC Non-Pro Championships as Samantha Griffin and Dun Playin Tag (Whiz N Tag Chex x Brennas Dunit Fancy) took an early lead in the finals. Scoring a 222.5, the DeWinton, Alberta duo maintained that lead until Kim Dooley and Country Custom (Custom Crome x Calatrava) tied Griffin\’s score. As the rest of the non-pro competitors completed their runs and the scores came in, only Griffin and Dooley remained at the top.

After an exciting run-off, it would be Dooley and her \”Charlie\” horse who would walk away with the championship and the $40,908 cheque. They had bested their original score with a 223.

Griffin and Dun Playin Tag were awarded a cheque worth $24,901 for the reserve championship.

Congratulations also goes to Shelley Gunderman and Wimpys Little Boss (Wimpys Little Step x Topsail Boss Missie) of Oxbow, Saskatchewan for making the finals of the Limited Non-Pro!
