The Snaffle Bit Futurity Non Pro Finalists have been determined and the champions crowned in the Amateur and Non Pro Limited divisions. We also saw a big, competitive Open and Limited Open Hackamore horse show class, and Million Dollar Rider Zane Davis is in the hot seat for another round of Million Dollar Questions. It’s all here in the latest edition of the Reno Wrap Up:
