T
he Tres Osos Cow Horse Non Pro Derby, held during the 2022 Kalpowar Quarter Horses Celebration of Champions, has historically provided a venue for riders to kick off the show season with their young horses. In the Non Pro division alone, 56 competitors rode for a shot at the championship, which awarded numerous prizes and a hefty paycheck. One of those exhibitors, Emily Kent, came to Fort Worth, Texas, with the goal of riding her 5-year-old gelding, On The Reydio (Reydioactive x Bewitching Ichi x Cat Ichi), to the win. From the beginning, Kent and On The Reydio were a force to be reckoned with, continuing to build up momentum through the end. Their 665 composite (H:214/R:220.5/C:230.5) won the title and a check worth $7,000. “It feels pretty awesome,” Kent said. “I started and trained him all by myself, and he’s my first futurity and derby horse. To come here for the first derby of the year after his wins in the Intermediate and Novice Non Pro at the [2021] Hackamore Classic is so cool, and I just wanted to win it again.” On The Reydio, nicknamed “Conway” after country singer Conway Twitty due to his rebellious nature as a 2-year-old, stepped up in a big way at the show. First up was the rein work, which Kent said isn’t always the gelding’s strong suit. In fact, prior to the show, she and Conway struggled with their turnarounds. It took a little confidence building, thanks to her mom, Leslie, before Kent felt like Conway was ready.
