Jeff Holler Slides into the Petroll Reining Horses Platinum Non Pro Championship on Shines Best Stop
Perhaps one of the industry’s most prestigious titles for Platinum Riders, the SWRHA Petroll Reining Horses Platinum Non Pro Championship was earned by Jeff Holler and his new horse, Shines Best Stop, with a 140.5. Shines Best Stop is by Shine Chic Shine out of Stop Like A Dream. Holler pocketed a check for $676 for the win and for taking third place in the Outta Dough Masters Non Pro.
Holler has been riding reining horses for nearly 38 years, and he feels like Shines Best Stop is a perfect fit for him. He’s only had him about a month and has been riding him all week to get to know him. He lives in western New York and keeps his horses in Marietta, so he only rides when he goes to shows.
“I ride with Dany Tremblay, and we were at the show in Tulsa. Cooper [Smith] thought I needed a better horse and brought this one out for me to ride,” he said.
He appreciates “Jalepeno’s” obedience to his cues and talent in the maneuvers.
Before entering the arena, Tremblay reminded Holler to run down far enough and back up to a certain point, and to always be looking ahead.
Holler thanked Smith, Tremblay and his brother, Fred, and Luca.
