Linda Sawyer is getting back into the groove of things this year with Spooksgottaprettyboy, and the SWRHA Futurity is her third show of the year. With a score of 215, the pair is bringing home Petroll Reining Horses Platinum Non Pro Championship. The Platinum Non Pro, in its second year, is for riders who have celebrated their 70th birthday, and has been a welcome addition to the show.
“It a pretty awesome event. It’s great for to have the opportunity to do this,” Sawyer said.
Sawyer and Spooksgottaprettyboy (Spooks Gotta Gun x Prettywhizprettydoes) have some history together, with Sawyer purchasing him five years ago. She couldn’t show him then, but now she’s making up for lost time.
“He’s really fun to show. He’s really pretty easy. We had a little bit of a bobble going in, he stumbled in my first stop. But after that everything was good,” Sawyer said. “After this we’re going to take some time off and he’s going to get some pasture time.”
Sawyer thanked Petroll Reining horses for their sponsorship of the class, as well as Debbie Brown and Tom and Mandy McCutcheon.
