Vying for the chaps were Jan Behm riding TR Smart Rey, Madelyn Gosselin riding Freckles Perana and Leah Slattery riding Sneakin Out To Play. Youth rider, Madelyn Gosselin emerged victorious and will be sporting a new pair of chaps, along with her belt buckle the next time she steps into the cutting pen. Congratulations Madelyn.
It was a nail biter, came right down to the last class of the season to find out who would be the proud and deserving winner of the Limited Rider Aggregate saddle.

Congratulations Bill and may you continue to ride in the center of the pen. The beautiful Jeff Smith saddle was donated by LaFarge Canada, to whom we are enormously grateful.
