Kelle Earnheart, Weatherford, TX, won the 2009 NCHA Futurity Non-Pro championship with
219 points on Badgers Perscription, by Reys Dual Badger.
F
or those who believe, Christmas is a time of miracles.
Christmas came early this
year for Kelle Earnheart, 24, whose
father, trainer Pat Earnheart, is
recovering from a lung transplant
that he received on October 15.
On Friday, Kelle, 24, gave her
father, watching on a monitor in
his RV, another gift — the NCHA
Futurity Non-Pro championship.
“He’s very happy, but I think
he wishes he had been helping
me,” said Kelle, who scored 219
points on Badgers Perscription, a
mare she purchased from trainer
Darren Simpkins in late October.
“She is a blessing,” said Earnheart of the Reys Dual Badger
daughter. “I didn’t have time to
train one and I waited and waited
before I found her. You usually
don’t find them like that unless
they cost an arm and a leg, but no
one really wanted her.”
At 15, Earnheart became the
youngest rider to claim an NCHA
Triple Crown title, when she won
the NCHA Derby Non-Pro division.
This was her fifth time to qualify

Earnheart lives in Weatherford and
works for an equine insurance agency.
Her father will make a brief, doctor
approved appearance on Sunday night,
when he is inducted into the NCHA
Members Hall of Fame.
Co-Amateur champions
Kim Ziegelgruber and Jamie Goertz each
scored 217 points to share the Amateur
championship title.
Goertz showed Desires Prissy Cat,
who colicked the night before the finals.
The mare was in top form for the finals,
however, thanks to the efforts of trainer
Eddie Flynn, who stayed up with her
until 4:00 a.m.
The High Brow Cat daughter was a
surprise Christmas present last year from
Jamie’s parents, Jo Goertz and Kenny
Hague. “They wrapped her picture up in
an eight-by-ten frame,” said Jamie, 27,
who was showing in the NCHA Futurity
for the first time.
Kim Ziegelgruber, a top-ranked
PRCA steer roper, gave all of the credit
for his title to his mount, Mates Special
Boy, who survived a near fatal systemic
infection last February only to founder
in both hind feet.
“That little horse is all heart. He was
supposed to be dead,” said Ziegelgruber,
who swapped a 4-year-old for the Smart
Mate gelding at two and trained him,
before the infection struck. It wasn’t until
last September that Ziegelgruber was able
to start riding the gelding again.
