Letter From Cleve Hello everyone, What a fast June and July we had this year. Here is a quick run down of our summer months.
It all started off at the Little Futurity and the AQHA shows in North Carolina, from there I took A Movin Machine, owned by Jane Backes to the the Tom Powers Futurity. These two shows were good, but we quickly recognized we had a fews changes we needed to make on our horses. We headed home for about 10 days, then drove to Tunica, Mississippi for the Southern Belle Futurity. Connie Hill really knows how to put on a show, the stalls were sold out and there was a class for everyone. I showed Amble with Ease, owned by Linda Sargent, placing 3rd in the Novice Horse class and 8th in the slot class. After the Southern Belle, we went to hang out with some friends in Mississippi for a few days for some rest and relaxation. From their place we went to Geneva, Alabama to do a clinic. That was the most fun I have had at a clinic in along time! We headed back to Burleson on the 28th of July, and was home a few days before we left on the 8th of August for the Reichert Celebration in Tulsa, Oklahoma. JR was feeling a little under the weather during his show and his staff did an excellent job for another successful year! Linda Sargent was Circuit Champion in the Select Western Pleasure showing Don't Be Gabbin. Hayley Dillabaugh was 2nd showing A Movin Machine in the $2500 Womens Western Pleasure, and Dustin Davis showed him in the 2 YO Intermediate and placed 7th. After the Reichert we had two days off then the NSBA World began. Wow, what a show to watch the “cream of the crop”. We began our week with Lindsey Pearce showing Amblin Good and Easy to 3rd place in the Limited Non Pro, they went on to place 7th in the Amateur Western Pleasure. I also showed Amblin Good in Easy and placed 9th in the Junior Pleasure. Shane Dowdy showed Don't Be Gabbin in the Senior Pleasure placing 5th for Linda Sargent. And Linda placed 10th in the Select Pleasure on Don't Be Gabbin. Hayley Dillabaugh took home the Reserve World Championship in the 2 year old Limited Open on A Movin Machine. Then, to wrap up on Sunday, Linda showed Amble with Ease for the very first time and was Reserve World Champion in the Limited 3 year old Non Pro. Also during the NSBA World Show, they had their annual awards banquet honoring the Top Riders and a few great horses. I felt honored to be part of accepting the award with Mark and Rebecca Pine who are the owners of One Red Hot Zip, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame. I had the privilege of training and showing this remarkable horse as a 2 year old (Thank you Mark and Rebecca). Also, Congratulations to Kenny Lankins for being inducted into the NSBA Hall of Fame. That is a great honor and I know he and his wife, Ashley, are very proud! We got back home to Burleson on Sunday, it is hot and dry here. We will be home only until August 30th when we head to Amarillo, Texas for the Select World with 4 contenders. After the Select World we have some down time in September, it will be a good break for all of us. We will be back and going for the Scottsdale Classic, October 1-7th and for Quarter Horse Congress.
In addition, please keep Troy Oakley and his family in your thoughts and prays.
We wish everyone good luck and be safe.

I would like to introduce a new training
tool, the CB
Training Rein. Designed by Clark Bradley, one of the greatest horseman
of our time. Clark shared the CB training Rein with me at the Congress
last year. Several training friends and I have been using this tool
ever since. We all feel the CB Training Rein has been an asset to our
programs. This tool allows you to have a soft entrance to your horse's
mouth and then has a stopper to catch the rein. After that, you are
working hand to mouth. It is like a German Martingale, but much lighter
and can be adjusted more accurately to fit each horse and their needs.
For those of you not familiar with a German Martingale, this is like
riding and having the best of draw reins and bridle reins all in one.
This is a must have for the beginner who is unsure in using their hands
all the way to professionals who are enhancing performance. Click
