FILES2f20162f042f0405_07.jpg.jpg

The contestants for the first Downunder Horsemanship Challenge arrived at the ranch on Sunday and are midway through the experience. Shannon Pigott and her horse Tippy are representing the Magnificent 7. Wendell Weber and Bones are putting in a great showing for the Mich-a-Roos, and Kellye Tuxen and Rio are laying it all on the line for the DUH Posse. Clinton is testing the horsemen on their groundwork and riding skills in the arena as well as their ability to work over obstacles and negotiate trail challenges. The horseman with the most points at the end of the competition will be the Downunder Horsemanship Challenge Champion and go home with a great prize package.

1st place: Clinton Anderson Signature Saddle, complete protective boot set (Legacy front boots, hind boots and bell boots), a training kit of your choice, a Ranch Rally ticket, and an RV spot for one night and a two-hour private lesson at the ranch.

2nd place: Mecate set, a training kit of your choice, and a Ranch Rally ticket.

3rd place: Training essentials package (halter, lead rope and stick and string), and a Ranch Rally ticket.

The Challenge is being filmed and will become a No Worries Club DVD. Good luck to the contestants!
