[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1779597, member: 40587"] Jan, you ought to see him working a cow on the rail! And he has him circling the cow both ways almost as good as a g finished NRCHA contender! Don't know yet how he would do in the reining part yet. He needs about another year on him before he is started on that. I am going to tell Dan that it looks like NRCHA is going to be the way to go with this one. It just wouldn't be worth 6 figures to campaign a gelding in NCHA competition. If Dan wants to go that route, Reined Cowhorse, I am just gonna get him and my trainer friend together, and bow out of it. If he doesn't, I will go get him and bring him back and start trying him on the heel end. That was my plan anyway, until yesterday when Mr. Smith paid me that $17k for those cows!
