Cronquist and Crumpler<br />
aggregate leaders<br />
Dan Hansen, Weatherford, TX, was the high-scoring rider on the last day of Non-Pro second<br />
go-round competition with 216 points, on Zacks Tiana Doc.<br />
Jerry Cronquist on Wild Cats,<br />
by High Brow Cat, and Craig<br />
Crumpler on Wood She B Tuff,<br />
by Nitas Wood, held their rank as<br />
leaders at the conclusion of Non-<br />
Pro second go-round competition<br />
with aggregate scores of 430.5<br />
points.<br />
Scores of 420.5 points and<br />
higher advanced to the Semi-finals<br />
— an average of 210 points per<br />
round.<br />
Gail Hooper, the high-scoring<br />
rider from both go-rounds, with<br />
218.5 on Tummys Little Gun in the<br />
first go-round, lost a cow in the<br />
second go-round on Friday. She<br />
was in good company. In the last<br />
three sets on Saturday, alone, 26<br />
riders lost cows.<br />
Dan Hansen, Weatherford, TX,<br />
was Saturday’s high-scoring rider<br />
with 216 points on Zacks Tiana<br />
Doc, by Zack T Wood.<br />
Hansen, who leads in three<br />
divisions of 2007 NCHA World<br />
Championship competition,<br />
including the Non-Pro, drew third<br />
to work in the fourth set.<br />
“The second cow that we cut<br />
was probably the pick of the herd,”<br />
said Hansen. “It was really good.<br />
“He was a little bit tentative<br />
it seemed in the first go-round on<br />
his first cow, but he just got more<br />
confident through that run. Then<br />

aggregate score of 430.5 points; Beau Galyean earned an aggregate of 430 points on Tassa Cat.<br />
today, he felt like a different horse. He<br />
felt very comfortable and confident.”<br />
Hansen’s scores of 211 and 216<br />
combined to place him sixth among<br />
You say it’s<br />
aggregate leaders.<br />
“He’s grown up a lot here in two<br />
your birthday!<br />
runs,” said Hansen of Zacks Tiana Doc.<br />
These NCHA members<br />
“It’s amazing how fast they mature in<br />
are celebrating their birthday today.<br />
this coliseum.”<br />
Zacks Tiana Doc is half-brother, out<br />
of Mia Tiana, by Tiana Doc, to Bobcorn,<br />
Bobin Hood and Bobs Tiana Doc, with<br />
total earnings of more than $280,000.<br />
“I have a real soft spot for these<br />
colts,” said Hansen, who has ridden all<br />
three. “It’s been fun to have that mare<br />
and see all of her babies do so good.”<br />
Hansen currently leads the NCHA<br />
World Championship Non-Pro standings<br />
with $86,116, earned partially on<br />
Bobcorn, by Bob Acre Doc. He also leads<br />
the $10,000 Novice Non-Pro on Bobcorn,<br />
and the $3,000 Novice Non-Pro on Bobin<br />

“Hauling hashelped me become<br />
more comfortable in the herd, in cutting,<br />
and with being a little more patient<br />
making my cuts” said Hansen.<br />
“A lot of times, at the weekend cuttings,<br />
the cattle are pretty tough and you<br />
have to become knowledgable and not<br />
necessarily get locked in on one of your<br />
picks.<br />
“I think that’s helped me more than<br />
anything,” he added. “I probably rode<br />
to the herd 300 to 400 times this year.<br />
Riding to the herd that often, even a guy<br />
as hard-headed as me learns something,<br />
once in a while. A lot of times you have a<br />
little more time up there than you really<br />
think, before you have to make a definite<br />
commitment.<br />
“That’s probably the biggest thing<br />
that I could single out that’s helped me<br />
this year from hauling for the World<br />
— just being able to be more patient and<br />
let things develop.”<br />
Lach Perks, who won the 2000<br />
NCHA Non-Pro Futurity on Stella Starlight,<br />
scored 214 points yesterday, and<br />
an aggregate of 428 points, on Stella<br />
Starlight’s daughter Catrina Starlight, by<br />
High Brow Cat.<br />
“She’s smart like her mom,” said<br />
Perks of Catrina Starlight. “She doesn’t<br />
get tricked by a cow and she has that<br />
extra ‘freeze’ and radar on a cow.”<br />
First-time NCHA Futurity competitor<br />
Philip Layne, 17, came through with a<br />
214.5-point score yesterday on Dual Ya<br />
Scoot, to place him among the aggregate<br />
leaders with 430 points. Payne<br />
purchased Dual Ya Scoot from former<br />
NCHA Non-Pro Futurity champion Chad<br />
Bushaw.<br />
