        This set the tone for the rest of the competitors. Most of them did at least part of their routines without their reins; Josh Armstrong wore handcuffs as he rode Rx Sugar around to “Folsom Prison Blues” by Johnny Cash. The funniest performance had to be Tom Foran, who donned a satin blouse and blond wig to ride Cattitude. Ever the showman, he winked and flirted with the audience as Gwen Stefani’s “Rich Girl” played.

   In the end, it was Cassidy Cobarr and Slidin on Top who won the $1000 Non Pro and Tom Foran and Cattitude who won the $1000 Open Freestyle events.
     As in previous years, this year’s Challenge was a great place for professional and non-professional reiners to compete for prizes and for fun.
Sanjo Lena Nic, ridden by trainer Matt Mills, won over $10,000, including a new saddle, for both the Open and Intermediate Open Futurities.
