On April 20, 2007, Mandy McCutcheon attended the Katy, Texas National Reining Breeders Association Classic and took the championship and reserve championship in the nonprofessional division on Rawhides Banjo and I Spin for Chics. This double achievement earned her $57,000 and put her over the $1 million dollar mark for reining competitions. Only 9 other riders have accomplished this mark, including her dad, Tim McQuay, and her husband, Tom McCutcheon.
While I was researching this story, I found this site for Green Valley Ranch, a mega complex for performance horses and breeding reining horses. You just won't believe it! Hit the link:
