I love this time of year. I know. I know. It’s been a long, hot summer for everyone, but with the regional futurities running full steam ahead, you know cool weather is just around the corner.
The only place things will be heating up now is in the show pen when trainers test their 3-year-olds. And that’s why I love this time of year. You never know what those babies will do.

Now we’re talking! The NRHA recently announced it will be having a $100,000-added Open reining at the Futurity this year. It’s called a “Shootout” and it’s aptly named.
If Europe’s top riders bring their best open horses it will be like the “Gunfight at the OKC Corral.” Why? The winner will earn about $30,000 and that will definitely affect the 2010 Open Top 10 standings – perhaps even the NRHA Open World title.

Gunnatrashya and Shawn Flarida
I know you’ve already heard that Shawn Flarida and Gunnatrashya marked a 235 for the win and that Craig Schmersal scored a 234 on Boom Shernic for Reserve. But have you heard the complaints that the judges were way too generous with their scores?

Ready, set, go! I’ve been busy, busy, busy trying to tie up all the loose ends before leaving for the NRHA Derby tomorrow morning. No sympathy? I know – rough life – I do get to see the best of the best in the reining horse business. Poor me.
Anyway, I hope I don’t get washed away, blown away and I do hope I don’t melt. You never know what the weather will be like in Oklahoma City. Heard it’s VERY hot – even by this Floridian’s standards. But by the looks of yesterday’s webcast, so is the competition. Can’t wait!
Have you been watching the FIFA World Cup South Africa soccer matches? Do you think I should pack my vuvuzela? Hey – they were a smash at the Marlin/Rays game last weekend at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Better yet, maybe we should save the vuvuzelas for the World Equestrian Games next September in Lexington, Kentucky.
Okay – I’m delirious. I told you I was busy, busy, busy. Gotta run. See you in OKC?
