2m 47s
Meet the 7-year-old rope horse owned by Trevor Kernick that’s proving he can hang with the best. This talented gelding won the match roping against Riley Webb at the Seth Broesche Memorial and has already made a name for himself, having been ridden and shown in multiple futurities and derbies. Seasoned through the AQHA ranks and a Derby reserve champion, he’s now hitting the road to gain more experience and exposure.
