In the past we have hosted Bryan, Jim, and Luke Neubert, Ray Hunt, Les Vogt, Jack Brainard, Ed Murphy, Nick Dowers, Mike Dean, Paul Barnes and others. Our instructors use “textbooks” from those horse trainers that we consider to be legends including Bill Dorrance and Leslie Des- mond’s True Horsemanship Through Feel, Les Vogt’s Cow Horse U, Tom Dorrance’s True Unity, Ray Hunt’s Think Harmony With Horses, Sally Swift’s Centered Riding, and Jack Brainard’s If I Were to Train a Horse.

A green ribbon indicates this horse was the champion during a ver- Conformation satility competition held the Friday before the sale at 1:00 pm. This horse completed a course with obstacles including crossing a creek, opening a gate, roping a cow, dragging a log and working a cow. The white ribbon indicates the horse with the best overall confor- mation as determined by our Sale Day Judge. A classes of mares and geld- Reining ings will be evaluated starting at 9:00 am on Saturday. A red ribbon is worn by the horse who had the best score after com- pleting the reining pattern during the preview at 10 am.

This rib- bon will be awarded immediately prior to the sale. Thank you for Supporting the Feather River College Foundation: Equine Studies Program Proceeds from this sale benefit the Feather River College Foundation: Equine Studies Program.

FRC Vintage River 3 YEAR OLD SORREL AQHA GELDING “Vinny” is a three-year old gelding that was born and raised at Feather River College. He has great confor- mation and a pretty face. He’s got a nice walk, springy trot and smooth, comfortable lope making him a pleas- ure to ride. Vinny is confident and curious while still mellow, loving and playful. He doesn’t mind ropes, has worked the flag, and been around cattle. He stands when getting clipped and is good for the shoer. Vinny does well inside and outside the arena both with and without other horses. He has the potential to be any- thing you want him to be and is ready to do anything you want him to do. Vinny would make a great all- around ranch horse, rope horse, or working cow horse.
