With a score of 223.5, Sam Smith and Chicsdundreamin claimed the Open Prime Time Championship of the National Reining Breeders Classic, held at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas. Along with a check for $1,950, Smith and owner Tim Roper received a custom saddle from the NRBC, a Gist Silversmiths buckle, the signature blue crystal trophy from the NRBC, 25 lbs of Resilience Omega 3, and a complete Tim McQuay Art of Reining DVD series.

It was only the second time that Smith had shown Chicsdundreamin, by Magnum Chic Dream out of Goody Goody Dun Drop. “We purchased him from Rancho Oso Rio,” said Smith of Chicsdundreamin, who was the National Reining Horse Association Intermediate Open Futurity Champion with Arno Honstetter. “He was a good horse when we bought him and he’s a good horse now. He’s very easy to train and show.”

Dan Huss and Baja Hollywood Whiz won the Open Prime Time Reserve title with a 223, collecting $1,650. Baja Hollywood Whiz, by Topsail Whiz out of Hollywood Stunt Girl, is owned by Robert Shearer and Melissa Shearer.
