Our 1D winner and official Arena Record Holder of Gibtown Arena was McKinley Goodger. She jockeyed her sorrel mare Roxy to a 17.525 and won over $1000 in cash and prizes, including an Angel Wings Breast Collar from Twisted Tack! Our 2D Champion was Kelsey Mackay on Ky Finest Redneck who won close to $600 in Cash and Prizes. Shelbey Starnes on Charge was our 3D Open Champion AND our 1D Youth Champ. She took home over $600 in cash and prizes all together. Emily Winders and Jack took the 4D and the Youth 2D for over $500 in cash and prizes as well. Our 5D Champ was Terry Vest on Red and they finished up with about $300 worth of cash and prizes as well. Our 3D Youth champ who also finished 2nd in the 5D was Mary Duffield and she brought home over $300 in cash and prizes. Wow!! What a payout these girls had!
Also want to give out a congrats to Kelly Jones who was our Cake Lope Winner! She chose a delectable German Chocolate cake. How fun!
Of course the most important part of this whole race was not our payout but how much we raised for Oklahoma. Texas for Oklahoma raised over $2600 to add to the tally for Dreaming of Three to send up to the great state. We will combine these funds with Cowgirl's Tuff's live auction funds of $2290, The Bayberry Horse with $150, Clyde Saddle Club/IBRA PA $250, donations of $125 PLUS we still have the Tshirt total left! Dreaming of Three believes there should be at least $7000 when it's all said and done to send to Orr Family Farm and Horse Feather's Equine Rescue. So for everyone that sent a silent auction item, bought a t-shirt, ran in the class or bought an exhibition, or won a silent auction item THANK YOU. These small combined efforts turned into something GREAT that will really make a difference. These funds will be distributed to Orr Family Farm and to Horse Feathers Rescue as soon as we get all of the money in total.
TX for Oklahoma had a fantastic crew out helping make the race run smooth and move along quickly. Jackie Parish announced and oversaw, Erica Cole, Danny Kraatz, Mike Minders, Paige Autenreib and Jackie's parents all helped in the office. Jessie was nice enough to drive the tractor and Kim and Ashley Perkins, Raylee Moss and Samantha Collup set barrels all day. Last but certainly not least Jo Haigwood took some beautiful pictures of our runners that day! Thank you so much crew for putting forth such awesome efforts. I know it was a long day for everyone.
It was a tremendous effort by everyone and wouldn't have been a success without all of the wonderful jockey's who came out to race! I hope to see everyone back the See No Evil Race 2 on July 13. BBR approved, added money and prizes yet again. The Alamo Saddle is ordered and I can't wait to see our Year End High Point Winner win it!
