7th Annual Saddle
SCRCHA Saddle Shoot Out Annual
By: Michelle Eubanks With the show season winding down, all of the
clubs are getting in their final shows before the start of the new season. On October 19-21, the Southern California Reining Cow Horse Association (SCRCHA) held their grand finale to their show season, the 7th Annual Saddle Shoot Out, at Casner Ranch in Temecula, California.
