Congrats on a successful decade with Titan Livestock, Logan Bonnett! Logans’ been an integral part of our Fall Classic crew for a few years now and Titan so generously stepped on as a gold sponsor in 2024. We couldn’t not share this feature to celebrate them both! Give Logan a call if you’re in the cattle market

Take a minute today, if you haven’t already, and fill out this questionnaire! As producers I think we are all looking for ways to evolve, things to change, what works and what doesn’t, all while keeping each event unique. We’ve got a few ideas for 2025 but would love to hear from you! Hoping Around The Saddle Horn will share the feedback 😉 As always, we are proud to be a part of this growing industry!

With a New Year, thought it’d be neat to start a New Discussion around our Canadian Rope Horse Futurities- what works and what doesn’t, and new ideas on how to enhance and evolve it.

2024 was a big year for our futurities, paying out $520,000+ to our Canadian ropers, owners and breeders 🤑 And there’s no doubt that every year our futurity industry gets stronger up here, but how do we continue to evolve it and increase the number of horses and ropers playing the game?

Attached is a questionnaire/census with some new and unique ideas that we’d like to hear your feedback on. As well as don’t be afraid to drop your ideas in the comments below 👇🏼

Let’s make 2025 the best year yet 🇨🇦💪🏼

Thank you to Around The Saddle Horn for the time they dedicated to putting this list of earners together! What an impressive year for Canadian rope horse futurities!

Quite a feat! Cajunish picks up the win in both the heeling and barrel racing at the edmonton futurities today! If Cajunish isn’t already on your radar for a 2025 breeding, his performance today should peek your interest. Big congrats to our Gold Sponsor Cajunish! Keely Bonnett and Shelby Spielman are certainly building him right.

If you’re stallion shopping for next year, put some thought into Nickster! Not only is he proven himself, his offspring are proven in multiple events, and Chelsea and Greg are outstanding to work with through the entire process; they’ve paid him into numerous incentives for their clients to capitalize on…and you should!

They joined us as gold sponsors of the Fall Classic this year and are great supporters of the team roping world, please send them a thank you, and consider Nic for your mare in 2025.
