The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) has recognized the follow-ing individuals for their efforts and as NRHA Professionals of the Year.
Sebastian Petroll, of Whitesboro, Texas, an
NRHA and American Quarter Horse Association judge as well, has been active in sharing his knowledge through coaching, clinics and lessons with clients. He actively participates in clinics in Germany, along with coaching up-and-coming trainers in the industry.
An NRHA Professional since 2003, Petroll has earned more than $174,000 in NRHA competi-tion. Not only has he made the finals at every major NRHA competition, he has also had non-pro clients consistently make it to the finals and win numerous awards under his guidance.
NRHA Horsewoman of the YearTanya Jenkins, of Temecula, California,
has been an NRHA member since 1996, and throughout her time being involved with the asso-ciation, has earned more than $443,000 in life-
time earnings. But more important than Jenkins’ winnings is her dedication to her clients and their success.
Jenkins has been an NRHA Professional since 2004, and along with her own impressive list of accomplishments in the show arena, she sets up her clients to be in the winner’s circle just as much in both local and major competitions.
NRHA Non-Pro Coach of the YearShane Brown, of Elbert, Colorado, has a
desire to teach, which outshines his desire to win and is evident in his character, both in and out of the arena.
Brown, an NRHA member since 1989, has quite the competition resumé – winning close to $306,000 in life-time earnings. He has also been heavily active in various aspects of the NRHA, both on a local and national level, by volunteering his time on and leading committees, all with the goal of improving the association as a whole in every aspect.
NRHA Youth Coach of the YearCasey Deary, of Weatherford, is well known
in the industry as a man of family and faith.Along with Deary’s own personal major accom-
plishments, he coached 2014 Youth 14-18 World Champion Savannah Grace Ostner, of Memphis, Tennessee.
An NRHA member since 1996, Deary has earned more than $826,000 throughout his show career so far. He rode Americasnextgunmodel to the 2012 NRHA Futurity Open Champion title.
Up-and-Coming Professional of the Year Kole Price, of Princeton, Kentucky, is fairly new to the reining community but has been mak-ing quite a splash within the industry. An Illinois native, Price made his presence known with his most recent major accomplishment at the 2014 NRHA Futurity.
The 25-year-old trainer rode FM Shine N Tag Chex to the Futurity’s Level 1 Open Championship, to Reserve Championships in the Levels 3 and 2 Open and more than $41,000 in earnings.

The Breeder’s Invitational (BI) is returning to the Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a sixth year beginning Saturday, May 9, and concluding two weeks later, on May 23. The 2014 show drew 1,049 entries, who competed for $555,000 in added monies and a total purse of $1,609,677.
The BI debuted in 2003 in Reno, Nevada, where it remained until 2006, when the show was held in Las Vegas. The BI moved to its pres-ent home in Tulsa in 2009. Open to all offspring of stallions whose owners agree to pay $125 per mare bred, with a minimum of 10 and a maxi-mum of 80, into a BI fund, the BI has distributed more than $8 million to owners of participating stallions and mares.
In 2012, the show drew its largest number of entries (1,527). That year the show included a number of events – Special 5 classes – exclusively for 5-year-old horses to help compensate for the 2011 show having been cancelled due to a nationwide concern about an EHV-1 outbreak. With the addition of the Special 5 classes, the show’s added money totaled more than $1 million with a total payout of $2,769,100.
Ranked as the leading BI money-earning horse is Sly Playgirl (That Sly Cat x Taquitas Playgirl x Freckles Playboy), a 2007 mare bred by Slate River Ranch, of Weatherford, Texas, and owned
by Luis De Armas, of Boca Raton, Florida. In 2012, the mare won five checks totaling $118,870, including Classic/Challenge Open and Limited Non-Pro titles with trainer Jaime Snider and De Armas riding, respectively. In 2013, she won $22,826 at the BI to extend her total earnings to $141,697.
Marietta, Oklahoma, trainer Lloyd Cox is the BI’s No. 1 Open rider with total show earnings of
$549,518 won astride 30 horses. Cox’s leading BI money-earner is Lil Catbaloo, a 2009 stal-lion bred by John Harrah, of Reno, and owned by Michelle and Gene Morris, of Florence, Montana, with earnings of $90,396. Cox’s second-leading money-earner is Hottish (Spots Hot x Stylish Play Lena x Docs Stylish Oak), a 2008 stallion bred by Double Dove Ranch, of Fort Worth, Texas, and owned by Dustin and Deena Adams, of Poolville, Texas, with total BI earnings of $69,814. Phil Rapp, of Weatherford, Texas, has ridden 31 horses to total BI earnings of $522,709, and ranks second on the Top 10 Open Riders chart.
Dustin Adams continues to rank No. 1 among the BI’s non-pro riders. He’s ridden 22 horses to total BI earnings of $360,977. Adams’ high-dol-lar money-earner is Reyann Hickory (Dual Rey x Hickorys Tachita x Doc’s Hickory), a 2002 mare bred by Lonnie and Barbara Allsup, of Clovis, New Mexico, who has earnings of $54,204. Adams’ second-leading BI money-earner is Marmolaker (Laker Doc x Marmolena x Smart
Little Lena), a 2005 gelding bred by EE Ranches of Texas Inc., of Whitesboro, Texas, with earn-ings of $34,737. Mary Ann Rapp, of Weatherford, Texas, is the second-leading Non-Pro rider. She has ridden 18 horses to total BI earnings of $297,462.
Phenomenal cutting sire High Brow Cat is the No. 1 sire with 254 of his offspring hav-ing earned $3,559,514 for average earnings of

Could you be sabotaging your own perfor-mance? Why do some people seem to dedicate so much to their sport only to handicap them-selves before an important event?
Self-handicapping, a defense mechanism that seems to kick in when some people experience the stress associated with pressures from expecta-tions or potential evaluation, involves creating obstacles to impede preparation or participation in an important performance. There are certain circumstances that trigger the self-handicapping response such as an upcoming important event, a sense of strong team cohesion and a desire to live up to others’ expectations.
The more an individual wants to perform well for their “team” or “trainer,” the more pressure they will feel to succeed. It is in these circum-stances that many people will resort to self-handicapping as a defense mechanism. When
others rely on your ability to perform well, it can be tempting to divert the attention or blame by creating a handicap to protect your public image and self-esteem in case something goes wrong.
People use self-handicapping for the follow-ing reasons:
1) To maintain their self-esteem in the case of failure. If their performance is unsuccess-ful, they can point to the “handicap” as the blame rather than their ability.
2) To enhance their self-esteem in the case of success. If they succeed “in spite” of the handicap, then they must be particularly good.
3) To escape evaluative pressure. Obstacles and unfavorable circumstances may prohibit an evaluation of their abilities and avoid public criticism.
Self-handicapping strategies may result in:1) Reducing effort in preparation and training2) Creating obstacles or problems during prac-
tice, creating conflict, becoming disagree-able and argumentative, finding problems with the equipment, footing, horse, weather, etc.
3. Presenting external commitments as an obstacle – If you find yourself suddenly pointing to work, family, community or school commitments as the reason that you are unable to attend practice, then you may want to evaluate the situation. Have these commitments really become more demand-ing or are you using them as a crutch in the anticipation of an important event?
4. Are physical impediments, such as illness or injury, used as an excuse for a poor perfor-mance? Does your student or client suddenly

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?FYI FYI
report more pain, illness or injuries in the period leading up to an important perfor-mance? This may or may not be a conscious process, and stress can manifest as physical symptoms so do not immediately assume he is fabricating these ailments. However, if you recognize a pattern, it may be worth explor-ing further.
5. Is engaging in too many social activities hampering your performance? Some indi-viduals self-handicap by over-indulging in social activities prior to a performance. Consequently, they can attribute their poor performance to lack of sleep, lack of practice, etc.
6. Unfortunately, some individuals turn to drugs and/or alcohol to avoid blame for poor performance.
You may have found yourself periodically in a performance “slump,” which may have been very difficult to break. It is times like these that our self-esteems take a beating, and often as a defense mechanism, we engage in self-handicapping to protect our self-esteem from further abuse. Unfortunately, this behavior serves to keep us in the slump by sabotaging our performance and so completes the vicious cycle.
Fortunately, when we are able to recognize this destructive process, we are better able to adopt more appropriate behaviors to enhance our self-esteem and improve our performance, effectively pulling us out of the slump. The problem is that few people recognize the self-defeating behavior and either continue to go around in miserable circles or give up and quit the sport instead of seeking help.
Self-handicapping is often an unconscious pro-cess. Consequently, to make any kind of change, we need to first bring it to the surface through self-awareness. The better we understand why we do what we do when we do it, the easier it is to identify potential problems and implement effec-tive change.
Understanding if and why you are sabotaging your own performance through self-handicapping could mean the difference between achieving your ideal goals and not. Could you be holding yourself back from achieving your goals to avoid accepting responsibility for failure? —Anna Mitchell

Any draw in the finals, we always say is a great draw.—Louis De Armes, of Boca Rotan, Florida, who, as the final draw, rode Post Card From Paris to the 4-Year-Old Non-Pro Co-Championship at The Cattlemen’s Derby and Classic, held in March at Graham, Texas.
Fort Worth or oklahoma? For trainers, exhibi-tors and judges who love both paints and Quarter horses, the tough choice between the american Quarter horse association (aQha) and american paint horse association (apha) World championship shows will be
eliminated in a few short years.Based on feedback from apha exhibitors and
market analysis, the dates of the apha World championship show will shift from November to september beginning in 2017, and the show will be held at the Will rogers Memorial center in
Fort Worth, texas.adjusting the World show schedule removes
date conflicts between the apha and aQha world shows. as many paint exhibitors also own Quarter horses – and vice versa – the revised schedule will allow members of the two asso-ciations the freedom to attend both events.this change also allows for a greater pool of top-quality judges – a significant percentage of apha judges are also aQha judges or trainers. By removing the conflict, more judges will become available for hire at the World show level.World shows for 2015 and 2016 will remain in early November, with the following dates tenta-tively planned for the future:
• 2017:September20-30• 2018:September19-29• 2019:September18-28
delaying the change until 2017 allows for a smoother transition for the association at the national and regional level; shows with conflict-ing dates will have more than two years to make scheduling adjustments, and apha will provide
rebates on all 2015 and 2016 show fees for exist-ing shows that will be affected by the World show date change to help minimize financial impact to regional clubs. shows may also choose to retain their existing september show dates. the 2015 apha World show takes place Nov. 4-14withnearly$80,000beingaddedtotheevent this year on top of more than $500,000 in existing prizes and payouts. For more informa-tion about the apha World show, visit oawcs.apha.com. the show schedule and forms are usually posted in late July – or call 817-222-8455.
the apha Youth World championship show will continue with its current summer schedule. Qualifying is not required for the Youth World show, and more than $150,000 in scholarships is up for grabs for Youth exhibitors this year. Learn more about the Youth World show at ywcs.apha.com, and start planning for your best year yet in 2015. — Paint Horse Journal For more information about the APHA, visit www.apha.com

unfortunately, for Justa swinging peppy
and his then-owner ellen, who had received ownership of the horse as part of a divorce settlement, the stallion was found to have an acrosome problem that allowed him to become sub-fertile and prematurely ended his
breeding career.don ham, of Whitesboro, texas, owner of
don ham Quarter horses – the stallion sta-tion that stood Justa swinging peppy – was so grateful that he’d been able to work with the stallion that he purchased Justa swinging peppy from reeder when she decided to stop trying to breed the horse.
