🏔️ Wrapping up the Colorado Classic Futurity with TOO SLICK TO SHAKE and adding over $5,400 to his LTE! 🏆
🩵This has been one the biggest accomplishments of my career as a futurity trainer and one of the highest earnings for Bear so far. It has been a a huge goal of mine to compete at events of this caliber against some of the best horses and riders in the industry! To come home with results like these is something I’m incredibly proud of. Bear handled the long haul, a completely new environment, and tough competition like a gem!

💕A huge thank you to the Colorado Classic production team, sponsors, and staff for putting on such an awesome event. This was my first time here and everything was run exceptionally well!
Special thanks to Double X Veterinary Services and Lainie Scholtz with True North Veterinary Health for helping keep Bear healthy, comfortable, and performing his best!
And of course, thank you to my family and friends for all of the support. My dad made the trip with me, helped with the long drive, and we were able to enjoy some incredible scenery around Montrose! Those memories are just as special as the results.
💎This young stallion continues to exceed my expectations, and I’m excited to see what the future holds. Every run is another step forward, and this week was a reminder of why all the long days, miles, and hard work are worth it.
➡️ Next stop: Winona, Minnesota!
