ACTRA SoCal Finals Results
Saturday, September 6th couldn’t have been a more perfect day for the SC Fuels SoCal ACTRA Finals at the beautiful JPK Arena in Agua Dulce! The weather was perfect, the prizes were top notch, the tri-tip plates were scrumptious, Danny Leslie brought great cattle, Mac & Sadie Mullins were perfect secretaries and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day! Thank you to Ken Maler and Jerry Koopman for allowing us to share their arena for the day!
The big winners of the day were Kolby Hand (#2.5 & under high money winner) & Juan Jimenez (3 & over high money winner)! They were each awarded beautiful Scott Thomas saddles! Ethan Strassburger and Cole Naillon took home the breast collars as the reserve high money winners of the day. Rowley Naillon was our inaugural SoCal Finals dummy roping champion and took home a brand new money clip!
Congratulations to all of the winners!
