NRHA - IHSA Western Semi-Finals 2004

This weekend the NRHA - IHSA Western Semi-Final was held at the University of Findlay. Sidney pulled off a first place ride with an amazing reining pattern, cementing the position for her Findlay Team to be represent at Nationals in North Carolina first week in May. 
Sidney finished her season securing a position as High Point competitor over the whole region. Then another qualifying ride as an individual in reining, a first today for another qualifying condition and another for Horsemanship. So, she will actually be competing if four different events in North Carolina as a Sophomore. Nice way to finish her year and to bring in her junior year in the fall.

Keep in mind if you watch the video included. Sidney is riding a horse she drew in a lottery. She has zero experience with this horse until she enters the arena. The pattern consists of a series of large fast circles, slower smaller circles, several lead changes, spins and slides.  She executed them very well.
