The arena looked a little different this weekend. The cows were replaced with barrels. Bree King shared her knowledge and passion for barrel racing with an awesome group of gals. A huge thanks to everyone involved!

Very cool to see a mare bred by us, carrying our brand, rocking it in the rope horse futurity. 😎

Time for some well deserved R & R for these two after a successful North Central Reined Cow Horse Association show. Wanda came out on top of the Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro and Non Pro Midwest Jackpot Derbies. Tamale finished right behind her as reserve champion. 🥇🥈🦄🦄

And just like that it’s almost over. The boys had another great fair. Clay had Grand Champion Beef Steer and Reserve Grand Champion heifer. Cole had Grand Champion heifer. They both won their showmanship classes.

Thank you to all of the buyers that supported the livestock auction, especially Rio Creek Feed Mill and Subway of Kewaunee for purchasing Cole and Clay’s steers.

Flip to page 94 as our own 𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐦 is featured after winning the Limited Non Pro Futurity at the 2023 Snaffle Bit Futurity in October!
⭐➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖⭐

Erin Heim of Luxemburg, Wisconsin, claimed the Limited Non Pro Championship with a 645 composite (H: 215/R: 209/C: 221) aboard Armed For Sure (PG Heavily Armed x Mettilda x Metallic Cat), owned by her and her husband, Kurt Heim, and bred by Dan Churchill. Heim well surpassed her goal of making finals this year, which marks her fifth attempt to do so.

“We are kind of addicted to the Snaffle Bit Futurity®, and we plan on it every year,” Heim shared. “We raise, breed and buy horses for that purpose. It’s an amazing feeling because it’s been a long time coming. I’d not made the finals in my last four attempts, so to finally make finals and then win it, besides, felt great.”

Her 2020 mare acts like a seasoned mount despite only being a 3-year-old. “Anything that involves a cow with this mare, I feel like she has my back,” Heim related. “We had solid runs in the prelims— not huge scores, but just good solid runs.”

Heim entered the world of reined cow horses in 2010.

“A good friend of ours, Paul Wilinski, with whom we used to team pen, was in cow horse, and he had horses with Ken Wold in California,” Heim shared. “Paul had talked me into doing a cow horse clinic, so the rest was kind of history.”

Shortly afterward, the Heims bought a 3-year-old mare that made the Snaffle Bit Futurity® Open Finals in 2011, further igniting their passion for the event.

“I showed her through her derby and bridle years and had a lot of success with her, but then we retired her around 2016,” Heim said. “I’ve kind of had a lull since then as far as making finals and putting some of those big runs together and stuff like that.”

Heim credits her husband with not only being her greatest supporter but the one with the more pronounced Snaffle Bit Futurity® addiction as well. He resolves to do whatever it takes for them to make it to the event every year.

“It’s kind of his vacation every year, and he’s never weakened from the fact that I showed in it four other times and had not made finals—that never deterred him or anything like that,” Heim said. “He’s always there cheering me on and supporting me and helping me find the next horse and stuff like that.”

Heim also credits her trainers Ryan and Sam Gallentine for their role in her success.

“We’ve been with Ryan for seven years or so now, and he’s an eternal optimist,” she said. “He’s always pushing me to find the next horse, improve every time I enter the show pen and improve my riding between practice sessions. He’s always cheering me on and talking me through every run. He’s there when you walk out of the pen and has been a huge support system to me.”

Heim’s monumental win is also bittersweet as it brings up cherished memories of one of her truly great champions, her dad, who recently passed away after being diagnosed with cancer on August 15.

“We lost him 20 days later on September 4,” Heim said. “With all that happening, I missed the last couple of pre-futurities and didn’t even know I’d be able to show in the Snaffle Bit Futurity®. While he wasn’t involved in horses, he taught me to never give up on dreams no matter what’s thrown at you.”
