What Do The Ribbons Around the Neck Stand For? The horses with ribbons around their neck are the horses buyers need to pay attention to! These are the horses that standout from the other horses for sale. Ribbons stand for accomplishments these horses have Versatility achieved. Prior to the sale and on Sale Day, students will be competing against each other with their Sale Horses in a series of trials to determine which horse and student combination has the most talent in a particular area. 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 conformation 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. The horse wearing a blue ribbon was determined to be the best all around horse after the completion of the Versatility, Conformation, and All Around Champion Reining Competitions as determined by the total combined score. This ribbon will be awarded immediately prior to the sale.

Gathering cows at the Dorrance Ranch

Bringing in the cows at the Dorrance Ranch Sale Horse Spring Break Most students prefer to spend their spring break lounging around a pool or basking in the sun on a warm beach. Our sale horse students are a special group… they chose to spend their spring break vacation traveling around the Salinas area taking lessons from local trainers, learning new training techniques, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Students began planning and fundraising for their Spring Break Trip well in advance of the actual event. Courthouse Café allowed the students to wait and bus tables for tips while Pet Country permitted the stu- Waiting for their turn to play with cows at the Dorrance Ranch dents to hold a tack wash, pony ride, and parking lot barbeque. Horses were carefully wrapped prior to the six hour trailer ride down to the Salinas area. Once they ar- rived at their destination, horses were exposed to geese, chickens, and other farm yard critters. Over the course of the trip, students visited three different arenas (including the beautiful Dorrance Ranch in the above photos by Suzanne Dorrance) and had four days of lessons with Jamie Walker of Walker Perfor- mance Horses (Chualrar) and Eric Dahlstrom (Aromas) who presented their unique take on horse training. Students enjoyed learning the new training techniques, camping in the hay barn, and bonding over home made meals (thanks to the Messerli family).
