Texas Classic- Opening Weekend A Success!


As the sun sets on the third full day of competition at the Texas Classic in Fort Worth, the event is bustling with activity. Competitors descend on the Will Rogers Memorial Center over the weekend, entering AQHA, NRCHA and NCHA classes.

Sunday brought the culmination of AQHA, NRCHA and SERCHA approved cow horse events in the John Justin Arena presented by Sea Ridge Farms. Top honors went to Todd Crawford for placing first in the NRCHA Open Hackamore with Playguns Courage.

The weekend belonged to the future with youth classes in the Watt Arena presented by Robin Frid Show Horses. The arena was alive with full classes in trail, western riding, horsemanship, showmanship, halter and hunter under saddle. Hundreds of youth entries competed in the Texas Classic triple-judged classes.

"The dirt was good & the cattle were great!" Said Guy Woods with a smile. Woods brought five horses from EE Ranches and took home five checks as the big winner of the day in the Coliseum presented by Jewett Performance Horses for the first of three consecutive c days. Large cutting days lie ahead with anticipated 170 cutting entries in the AQHA/NCHA cutting classes tomorrow and Tuesday. Entries are still being accepted at the event.

There are still eight more days of exciting Quarter Horse competition remaining, stay tuned for more updates from the Texas Classic!
