BREED: Quarter Horse
AGE: 9
RACE HISTORY: Zeek's first race was in Red Lodge last year on a round track. He was strong and running hard and we were in the snow and out of the snow and all over the place on Saturday of the event. By Sunday we had some things figured out and ended up in the money with Lance Nelson.. This year we started at Bozeman, MT with first time skiers Aaron and Ryan Griffen. Zeek ran well and placed both days good enough to win the Sport Average and buckle. In Whitefish, MT he ran a nice race on the round track placing and on Sunday ran a fast time of the day on the straight track.. These two runs put us on top for the Average win in the Sport class. At the Jackson Hole Event Zeek ran fast time overall of the day on Saturday and we had to throttle down a bit on Sunday to keep our skier on the track and make a clean run. We finished second in the average and third for the day money.
