In the $1,000 Non Pro Limited it was Colorado cowgirl Jennifer Woodmansee rid- ing Chicody Leo (Smart Chic Olean x Miss Topsails Okie) who rode away with the world championship and $1,620. Woodmansee scored 424.5 points thanks to her score of 211 in the reined work and 213.5 on the cow.

Non Pro Two Rein


Morgan Holmes & The Smart Dun


Hard Smart Cash (Big Chex To Cash x Smar- tin Up) tied with identical scores of 430.5, the tie-breaker was the cow work score—Brown’s being a 218 (212.5 rein) and Fortenberry’s a 216 (214.5 rein). Brown pocketed $3,356.25 for the win. Having made the decision to retire Very Smart Playmate, the win was emotional for Brown. “What’s amazing about this is that this is our last world show together,” said Brown of her champion equine partner. “I can’t count the number of times this mare has gotten me to the Finals. I was able to win this class in 2014 and it’s been a hard decision, but she’s sound, she can still show but she’s done so much for me and now it’s time for me to let her have a rest.”

to the Non Pro Limited World title thanks to a score of 434 (212 rein/222 cow) to earn $4,445. Though she didn’t grow up showing hors- es, Bacchetti has been a quick study thanks to her once-in-a-lifetime horse affectionately known as “Copper.” “He was the first cow horse I ever bought,” said Bacchetti. “He’s just been amazing for me. This is the one title we didn’t have and I was coming here whether I got it or not. It might be one of my last shows on him so it’s been kind of emotional, he’s been a dream come true.”

Of earning two world titles within as many days Lisac says the feeling can’t be beat. “It’s amazing, I don’t even know how to


explain it,” she said. “He was really good, es- pecially for having so many runs this week, he was still really good. He’s made five runs this week and he just stays good.”
