Thanksgiving weekend 2013 marked the inaugural Canadian Barrel Horse Incentive Super Stakes race.\u00a0 The CBHI program has been building momentum with many stallions nominated, but only those colts chosen for a Super Stakes Certificate are eligible for this special race.\u00a0 Foals are eligible to obtain a certificate 1 of 3 ways.\u00a0 They can be sold through the CBHI sale, be the result of a breeding sold through the CBHI auction or be one of the breeders farm picks.<\/div>\n

This years winner was Foxy Rose Bug.\u00a0 Bred and owned by Milt Rigetti (Rigetti Farms Ltd.) of Moose Jaw, SK.<\/p>\n

This mare was one of Milt’s farm picks and was trained and raced to the win by Water Valley, AB trainer Randa Nugent.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The eligible horses entered in the CBHI Futurity and the Super Stakes horses were noted in the program.\u00a0\u00a0 The winner was decided based on the fastest of the two long go runs each Super Stakes horse made.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this case, Randa ran a 17.65 in her first go and took the lead.\u00a0 In the second go the duo had a bit of trouble with a slip that cost them a lot of time.\u00a0 They then had to sit anxiously and watch the other Super Stakes horses make their second run to see if they could better her time from the first round.\u00a0\u00a0 In the end, this Crimewave mare who comes from a family of champions has started her own record of earnings in a big way.\u00a0 $10,350 was paid to the champion horse and $3450 was paid to the champion breeder.\u00a0\u00a0 4 places were paid (event results here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We connected with Randa to have her answer some questions about Foxy Rose Bug<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What is Foxy Rose Bugs’s barn name?
\nViva<\/span><\/span>-How long have you been running barrels on her?
\nI took her to Arizona with me in January 2013 and when we got there I was only walking the pattern but the time I left she could high lope thru it. \u00a0I was pretty worried I wouldn’t be able to get her caught up to all the other futurity horses in time but she proved to be pretty easy to train.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

-What is the training background on this horse?Viva was started by Shawn Williamson from Mankota, SK and had been pasture rode as a 4 year old. \u00a0When I got her in Dec 2012 she hadn’t even been into an indoor arena before.<\/span><\/p>\n

– How would you describe this horses running style?
\nI feel Viva is a 4×4 style – running all the way around the turn with lots of drive off the barrels. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

-What is it you like best about her? <\/span>
\nShe is an “old soul”. \u00a0I love her try and determination. \u00a0She is a little horse with a huge heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Of the runs you made on this horse (on the CBHI weekend), which was your favorite and why?
\nThe first run we made is the fastest time we have had on a standard pattern so I was pretty happy about that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
