Indiana State SASS shoot 2011 complete

Given that mother nature does not play fair, we concluded the Indiana State Shoot in one day with 11 riders, and 4 new SASS mounted members.  Not a bad start to the 2011 year.  It would have been nice to spread it out over a couple days, but we don't like playing in the mud.

A huge Thank You to Ben and Marsha Butler for letting us use their arena.  Marsha, bless her heart ended up with a sever injury one day before the shoot was schedule to start.  She was dismounting from her horse the night before and broke her right femer when the saddle slid.  We wish her a quick recover and hope that Ben isn't to lost without her for a few a weeks. 

Rifle and Over champion for the match went to Okaw SASS# 30137 (Neal Deterding) from Modoc, Il.  Overall Ladies Champion and State Match winner went to Rawhidenlace SASS #86043 ( Dottie Linville), Men State Champion went to Wild Donkey SASS# 87183 (Kurt Abrams).  Both Rawhidenlace and Wild Donkey earned free entry to the Midwest Regional at Guns of August - August 12-14, 2011.

In our L1/SL1 divisions Mustang Lady SASS# 87688 (Brenda Polston) won and it gives her, her first win of 2 needed to move to a L2.  Congradualtions to Mustang Lady!

Congradulations to our winners and we looked forward to seeing everyone again in July at Western Riders Arena July 22-24.
