Weekend competitors are sometimes referred to as road warriors. The amount of time spent and number of miles driven traveling from event to event can be taxing, to say the least, and the monetary rewards are considerably less than what is offered at limited-age events. Still, the weekend warriors find the camaraderie and talented competitors more than enough to make up for any hardships along the way.
This special issue was created to give credit to those individuals whose earnings at weekend shows have placed them among the elite in their respective disciplines. Inside, you’ll find the top weekend cutters, ancillary reiners and reined cow horse horse show competitors.
The Lifetime Weekend Statistics contain information that was compiled, researched and tabulated by Equi-Stat, a division of Cowboy Publishing Group. Equi-Stat was formed in 1985 by Morris Communications Corp., parent company of Cowboy Publishing Group and Quarter Horse News.
Money attributed to a horse is the amount of money that particular horse won and is in no way related to who actually received the money. Also, monies attributed to riders are not the earnings of the rider, but rather monies awarded to all horses that particular rider rode. In the sire, dam and grandsire charts, monies earned by clones are attributed to the sire, dam and grandsire of the clone’s donor.
