BLACKFALDS, Alberta - Barrel racers were excited to watch round six of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, as we got to witness two barrel horses out of the great mare, Mulberry Canyon Moon in the same round. Not something you get to see just any day. Stevi Hillman ran MCM Imasharpguy aka Sharpie, and Wenda Johnson on SR Industry Titan. Mulberry carried Angie Meadors to 3 go round wins at the 2010 NFR, and is the all time leading futurity horse with $365K+ LTE. We also got to witness Ryann Pedone run AQHA stallion, HP Dash Ta Fiesta, who is by Dash Ta Fame and out of 2003 Reserve World Champion, Kelly Yates great mare Firewater Fiesta, who won more than $800,000 in her career.
Emily Miller-Beisel was first out on the ground, and crossed the line at 17.01 aboard Chongo. Fans fist pumped right along side her, as it was a really nice run for the duo and was the go round win. Lisa Lockhart was second out, finishing close behind with a 17.07 on Rosa, and Stevi Hillman third with a 17.11 on Sharpie.
Hailey Kinsel chose to give Sister the night off and jumped on Leroy who is by Dinero, and owned by NFR qualifier, Cassidy Kruse. Neither Kinsel or number two cowgirl, Brittany Pozzi-Tonozzi picked up a cheque in the round. Both remain first and second in the world and in the average standings heading into round seven tomorrow night.
He’s in the money! Orin Larsen FINALLY got on the board in round number six of the WNFR, scoring an 86 on Ain’t No Angel from Cervi Brothers. Winning the round was 22 year old, Cole Reiner on Lil Red Hawk from Flying U. This is Reiners second year in the PRCA and his first WNFR. Kaycee Feild and Tim O’Connell continue to battle it out for the champion title, as Kaycee is first in the average, second in the world, and Tim is first in the world second in the average.
Both Jacob Edler and Stetson Jorgensen stopped the clock at 3.3, the fastest time of the week for the go round win in Arlington, Texas. Jorgensen is number one in the average and currently second in the world. Edler is number one for best finger guns and hat toss of the week. Curtis Cassidy was out of the money with a 4 flat.
Cody Snow and Junior Nogueira win the team roping with a 3.9. Levi Simpson and Shay Carroll were 11.0 and Kolton Schmidt and Hunter Koch receive yet another no time. In the tie-down roping, reigning World Champion, Haven Meged won the round with a 6.8 second run.
World Champion Zeke Thurston finished third in the round with 85.5 on All Country, from Three Hills Rodeo, splitting the cheque with Stetson and Rusty Wright, whereas the other brother Ryder Wright won the round with a 90.5 on Billie, from Hi Lo.
In the bull riding, Dustin Boquet got on three bulls, finally winning the round on Lonesome You from Pickett Rodeo for 89.5 points. Only four cowboys covered their bulls tonight receiving a score. Sage Kimzey covered his bull but received a no time for a slap at the end of his ride. He falls to seventh in the world and ninth in the average.
