standing horse-and-rider teams rose to the top in divisions rang- ing from short stirrup and walk- trot to open competition. The arenas stayed full and the audi- ence engaged all weekend long, while high-point champions, circuit winners, futurity and maturity champions, and rail stakes winners were crowned in a celebration of dedication, sportsmanship, and excellence. Memorial classes were held in honor of dearly missed friends and WCRH trainers Mikey Harchol, Cherie Vonada and Chris Slauson. Their memories live on in part through these classes, celebrating their excep- tional contributions. Lindsay Pety and RNTR Epic Mudslide took home the coveted Overall Top Hand award which include a $1,000 payout from Winchester Western, buckle and neck sash. The Youth Top Hand Champion was Jackie Sipe and Dun Ridin Shotgun, taking home a trophy buckle and neck sash. Haylee Brock and Sweatin Bullets were named Champions in the Chris Slauson Memorial Open Ranch Rail class, taking home the huge Silver trophy offered annually, a belt buckle and a plethora of other prizes. The Rendezvous once again proved why it has become a premier year-end ranch horse event in the Western U.S. Beyond the show pen, the


Rendezvous delivered an excep- tional western marketplace. Exhibitors and spectators
