 Pat Feuerstein, Ocala, Fla., has been involved with reining since 1972, first as a non-pro competitor. In 1975, she became involved with the administration of horse shows, clinics and demonstrations through her work with the newly formed East Coast Reiners Association, and later volunteered with the NRHA and the International Reining Council. As a writer, Pat’s specialty has been reining, and she’s been a published author since 1977. She worked for the NRHA Reiner for more than 20 years and started working with Quarter Horse News in August 2007. She was inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame in 2004.

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?
