SHTX Futurity & Derby 5 Letter From The President

Welcome. On behalf of the Stock Horse of Texas, welcome to the 2017 Stock Horse World Show, Futurity & Derby. It’s been a heck of a year for this great organization, and we’ve worked hard to see that your blood, sweat and tears have a proper showcase event to be celebrated and rewarded.

I’m tremendously proud and privileged to be a part of this organization and have thoroughly enjoyed watching our members grow throughout this last year. Our numbers at this year’s World Show experienced an increase of 30%. I attribute that to the friendliness and welcoming attitude of our members. New riders come to a show to check us out and are met with a smile and a “glad you are here...let us know if you need anything.” Newbies to the horse show world appreciate feeling a part of something, and the old timers say showing with Stock Horse of Texas is “how it used to be at a horse show.” Thanks for your efforts at keeping our atmosphere family friendly and engaging.

I hope that our success as an organization will be measured by your individual success. Enjoy the show, the competition, your friends and family and don’t forget to enjoy the small victories- these are what add up to riding a better horse.

William Lewis Stock Horse of Texas President

SHTX Futurity & Derby 15 Lindsey & Belcher Scholarships

The Zinn Lindsey Memorial Scholarship is awarded to the highest placing colle- giate rider in the SHTX Derby. Zinn was a very visible member of SHTX, riding and working at many shows over the years. Zinn was an accomplished horseman, winning several state and national titles. He was active in SHTX, the Ranch Horse Association, the Ranch Horse Association of America, National Reined Cow Horse Association and AQHA. Tragically, Zinn’s life was cut short in May, 2012, days after winning the RHAA Junior Horse World Championship. The Zinn Lindsey Schol- arship was established to encourage and reward collegiate riders with a horse in the SHTX Derby. Last year’s recipient was Morgan Holmes. Nathan Belcher was an ardent supporter of the versatile stock horse. To honor his dedication to western heritage and his commitment to the mission of SHTX, an anonymous Zinn Lindsey donation was made in his name in 2009. This donation established the Nathan Belcher Scholarship Award. Nathan’s wife and long time SHTX secretary, Norma Belcher, passed away in August, and her family wanted to add Norma’s name to the scholarship. The Nathan and Norma Belcher Memorial Scholarship is presented to the highest placing collegiate entry in the SHTX Futurity. Jayton Baca and Lanham Brown received the Nathan & award in 2016. Norma Belcher

Dr. Josie Coverdale Scholarship

A former competitor and member of SHTX, Dr. Josie Coverdale, passed away in February, 2016 from a car accident. Dr. Coverdale was an assistant professor in equine sciences at Texas A&M and an active part of the Equine Initiative. She was known for her passion for her career, her students, her selflessness and her character. In her memory, a SHTX scholarship has been established by her friends. The schol- arship will be presented to a TAMU student who shows at the SHTX World Show and embodies the same hard work, excellence and pleasant demeanor that Josie shared with everyone. At the 2017 SHTX banquet, Mark Coverdale, Josie’s husband, presented Morgan Moreno with Dr. josie coverdale the first Stock Horse of Texas scholarship in Dr. Coverdale’s name.

Applications for the Darlene Hicks and Dr. Josie Coverdale scholarships are available at stockhorsetexas.org and are due by February 1.

Donations to any of the SHTX scholarship funds can be included with any show entry or given separately at the office or by mail.

16 Western Horseman Stock Horse World Championship Darlene Hicks Scholarship 2017 Recipient Gillean Nixon We lost a tough, brave cowgirl when Darlene Isbell Hicks of Hawley, Texas, died on July 10, 2011. She never rode a horse until after she married Thomas Hicks, but she soon loved to ride and show horses. She learned to team rope with her husband and also enjoyed wagon driving. Darlene was a member of Stock Horse of Texas Association, Texas Draft Horse Association and American Stock Horse Association. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2000. While fighting cancer, she showed in Stock Horse of Texas competitions on several different horses. She won buckles, bronzes, a saddle and she was SHTX Reserve Champion Limited Non-Pro for 2010. One saying that gave Darlene encouragement during her battle was, “courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.” In her honor, the Darlene Hicks Schol- arship fund was established. This scholarship is awarded to a graduat- ing high school senior. This year’s recipient is Gillean Nixon. Gillean is studying equine assisted therapy at North Centeral Texas College. In her application essay, Gillean quoted Og Mandino who said “The victory of success is half won when one gaines the habit of setting and achieving goals.” She said through SHTX clinics, she has accomplished many of her goals, including becoming a better rider. Gillean is the co-captain of the NCTC Stock Horse Team.
