Beautiful ride, as always!

Bryant Pace beat Shawn Flarida on this night

I missed filming his winning ride but it was great to see Bryant pull out a big win. He was overheard earlier in the day telling Shawn that he was the man until Shawn came along and one of these days he would beat him. That evening he outrode everyone, won and was the center of attraction. It was great to watch.

Mike and Shawn Flarida were both #1 at the horse show

They had the same score and decided to flip a coin to see who would be the champ. Great moment at the show and a great family moment. They both had amazing rides.

2008 NRBC to air on Wide World of Horses on RFD-TV

Excitement and anticipation filled the arena as run after polished run was made at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy Texas. The 2008 National Reining Breeders Classic was a show no one wanted to miss.

Watching Shawn Flarida and Mandy McCutcheon earn the top two spots in the Open and Non Pro divisions, Topsail Whiz becoming the first NRBC Million Dollar Sire, Brent Wright earn Million Dollar National Reining Horse Association Status, and KR Lil Conquistador become the highest money earning horse in NRHA history made the day of many reining fans.

Luckily, those highlights and moments can be seen again when the NRBC airs on Wide World of Horses on RFD-TV June 2 and June 30.

Sitting here at the horse show and watching horses and Chris Cagle

Chris Cagle plays here at the Miller Coliseum tomorrow night and as we sit here working and watching the show he passes back and forth here and there. It's funny to see a guy that would have people wanting autographs and pictures anywhere else and here he gets the head nod or just a simple "hi" from everyone.

I couldn't imagine it being like that anywhere else but in Nashville and at a horse show.

The Reining King aka Shawn Flarida

Reining is a crowd-pleaser with its showy sliding stops, speedy spins and controlled-speed circles, moves that originated from cowboys' herding cattle on the ranch. The idea is to make it look effortless, and Shawn Flarida has gone around the world doing just that.

"In my mind, I've never had a real job," Shawn Flarida said this week as he kicked up a cloud of dust riding in the outdoor arena of his farm near Springfield in Clark County. "I get to do something I absolutely love to do."



Five years ago, Flarida bought 72 acres on Beard Road, mowed down the crops and built a home, a 35-stall barn, an indoor and outdoor arena and a fenced pasture. He boards and trains 35 reining horses, all owned by others. Nineteen of them will go to the Congress, and Flarida will compete on nine.
