Reno Snaffle Bit 2024

Many Fallon folks participated in the Reno Snaffle Bit Cowhorse Futurity, Derby, and Non-Pro horse show, which ran from September 9 to 15. Many of the local competitors came home with checks and prizes.

At the trainer’s level of competition, two of Fallon’s hometown favorites, J.D. Thacker and Anthony McClimon, brought home first-place wins. J.D. rode in the Level 1 Open Futurity on Dre Deville, owned by Ty and Melissa Fowler, with 106 competitors in the class. Anthony McClimon, riding LS Diamond Ventage, owned by Janet Kubichek, came in first place in the Level 1 Open Derby.

In the amateur divisions, Fallon was represented very well again. Tylie Norcutt took home first place in the Intermediate Non-Pro Bridle category and second place in the Non-Pro Bridle category, riding Saulas Hickory Star. Ty Fowler, riding WR This Cats A Champ, took home third place.  He had an excellent fence run, with his cow scoring a 223, giving him the highest score on the fence in the non-pro bridle division, which earned him another check in this large class of 31 competitors. In addition to these riders, ten others from Fallon competed in the open and amateur classes at the Reno Snaffle Bit.

Fallon is proud of these dedicated athletes, both riders and equine, who are dedicated to this sport. Congratulations to all the competitors.

Way to go, Fallon Cowhorse competitors!
