 Chris
French, of Rafter CF
Training, was in the Ravenwood Fall Festival 2007 Cowboy Race on
August 11th. There were 19 entries and we were the only mule entered.
Chris rode Skipper and did really well. They ran all 19 contestants
and had 5 judges. 10 points were based on speed with the rest of the
points on horsemanship and how the animal completed each obstacle.
Chris tied for 2nd in that round but got 3rd because the horse’s time
was faster. The top 7 qualified for a second round and they drew a
wild card from the other names to be the 8th rider. This time more
points were on speed but horsemanship was still a factor.
Chris ended up 2nd overall and won the Ravenwood Fall Festival 2007
Cowboy Race Reserve Champion breast collar and $90. We were very proud
of Skipper. He just does everything so nice!
The crowd was amazed to see a mule do all of the obstacles so nice
and that a mule can actually run!!! It was a great day and Chris and
Skipper had fun!
