What’s new
It was a blast from the past as cutting returned to the outdoors at the Bluff Country Cutting in Winona, MN. JP Bell and his crew worked extremely hard to get everything set up to show outside. It was a huge amount of work; but the weather cooperated and it was beautiful outside. We did battle a dust problem on Friday but Bob Janssen ran the drag with water constantly trying to keep it under control. By Saturday they was enough water in the base so there was a lot less dust. The Rookies continue their winning ways; there were four more Rookies that earned their buckles. Congratulations to Hannah Livingston, Karen Wallace, Allyson Pauly, and Kathy Pliszka. Thanks again to everyone that helped make this a great show.
Please take note; the September and October cuttings will be held inside at Winona as previously scheduled. The September cutting is featuring the Owatonna Motor Company Futurity and Limited Aged Events along with three full days of NCHA cuttings. The Fall Festival of Cutting, October 9 – 11 will feature the Euphemia CD Futurity, Limited Aged Classes and two NCHA cuttings.
Our hearts go out to Dave Scribner as he continues his fight with cancer. Please keep Dave in your thoughts and prayers for a successful recovery.
