Stock Horse Classic and Derby returns to Winnemucca By Charlie Roome c.roome@winnemuccapublishing.net
The Nevada Reined Cow and Cutting Horse Association (NRCCHA) put on the Stock Horse Classic last Friday June 21 — Sunday June 23 at the Winnemucca Events Complex. A total of 233 entries competed in practical ranch hand events for a chance to win a belt buckle, an arena bag, and/or up to $1,700 in cash. Herd work, reined work, reigned/fence work, and fence and box work were on display last weekend in Winnemucca. Three-time Snaffle Bit World Champion Bobby Ingersoll was in attendance at the Winnemucca event. “I have been training horses
for 65 years and I am here to watch my clients at this event riding the horses that I have trained for them," Ingersoll said. The Cutting Open-Non Pro pays $50,000 for the year end award, $25,000 for the Amateur Novice and $5,000 for the Novice. $35,000 is the Non Pro prize, with $15,000 being awarded to the Amateur Champ, $25,000 going to the Novice Non Pro winner. Winnemucca Summer Cutting will be held at the Events Complex on July 12-14, followed by the Cow Country Classic on July 19-21, and the 777 Barrel Race Clinic July 26-28.
