I have ridden all my life, trained many horses, and just wanted to learn more of the finishing touches. I have enjoyed my ex-perience here so far and wish to continue with rodeo and train-ing horses.”

ZANS GOLDEN LIGHT

Zans Golden Light is a three-year old sorrel gelding that was started and trained here at Feather River College by Dalton B. “Smiley” is a stout, big boned gelding with a good mind and would make a great ranch horse. This horse is big enough to rope anything and is ready to drag calves! He performs well in the arena as well as outside and has a lot of try. Do a day’s work on this horse and you’ll be riding back smilin’.

About the Rider: Dalton Bowles Dalton is graduating this Spring with an Equine Studies de-gree. Growing up he spent his summers working on his grand-father’s cattle ranch in Arizona and the last four years pack-ing mules in the backcountry of Montana and California’s East-ern Sierra. He currently works on Thompson Valley Ranch just out-side of Quincy. After graduation, Dalton plans to continue starting colts and hopes to work for a reined cow horse trainer. “If you’re gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.”

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 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-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-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 Reining Competitions as determined by the total combined score. This rib-bon will be awarded immediately prior to the sale.
