Cook Performance Horses

We absolutely love hearing continued success stories from our students! Congratulations to Buckskin World champion Shalene Bailey!

Hi Cutter. I’ve been at the Buckskin world show this week. I won the world title in the ranch riding in the open division & reserve in the amateur division. I just wanna tell you thank you so much for taking teaching me horsemanship. Your training opened a whole new world for me.

Despite the hot weather, our group is practicing for next week’s Clayton Classic Reining to be held at Lakeside arena in Frankfort, Kentucky. Show starts on Friday, July 18th!

Our barn family had a wonderful weekend at Kentucky Reining Horse Association Rein for the Roses! Our team had multiple wins and several good runs. Congratulations Jenny Chapman-Tolbert and Laura Plue Brown on your wins in the Rookie classes. Congrats Karen Bailey, Colonels Special Gun, and Cutter on your wins in the open classes. Elizabeth Paris Chunglo and Amie Nichols on great rides. We are so proud of all of you!!!

The barn was full this morning as we prepared for Kentucky Reining Horse Association Clayton Classic later in the week. We can’t wait to see what are team does after the success last month at Indiana Reining Horse Association Summer Fun show. Last month, Laura Plue Brown and Lotta Mobster rocked the Rookie class with a sweep in Rookie 1, 2, and Prime time and made it into the Shoot Out. Karen Bailey and Darlings Cody Boy had great rides in the Rookie Classes and won the Rookies Shoot Out. The pair earn a beautiful belt buckle. Jonna Thomas and SS Gone Platinum had good rides in Novice Horse and Nonpro. Macy and Dunnit Hydrive were second in Green. Sara Filiatreau and Topsailes Littleprize had several nice rides over the weekend and were second in Intermediate Non Pro. We can’t wait for our whole team to be together this week!
