The 2024 Southwest Reining Horse Association Rancho Los Palominos Non Pro Futurity kicked off Friday, October 18 in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Familiar names mixed with new at the top of the leaderboard, many of who are looking ahead to the final futurity of the year – the National Reining Horse Association Futurity in Oklahoma City.

The SWRHA Futurity has long been known as, “Where the Finest Go First,” and numerous SWRHA alumni have gone on to great success.

Cady Shaw and the 3-year-old mare Dreamin Whiz Me, sired by Electric Snow out of Dream Whiz Me, tied for the win in the Rancho Los Palominos Masters Non Pro, earning $1,000.

“She’s been lots of fun,” Shaw, who raised Dreamin Whiz Me stated. She added that the mare is third generation in a line of show horses she has bred and shown.

“For her first time one-handed in the bridle, I was pretty happy. She’s been a good girl this year,” Shaw said. Making the mare even more special is that her dam, Dream Whiz Me, recently passed.

“I really appreciate the sponsorship of Rancho Los Palominos. These events wouldn’t happen without our sponsors,” Shaw said.
