Trevor Dare & Spat Toy Boy Gun

Trevor Dare came to the NRBC meaning business– repeatedly laying down high scores in the pen and setting the standard on the leaderboard. 

With a score of 223.5, Dare and Spat Toy Boy Gun claimed the championship of the Level 4 Open Classic Challenge. 

“He has got so much style,” said Dare. “It’s really natural for him. Whether he is being good or bad, if you’re standing at the back gate watching him, he always looks awesome.”

Spat Toy Boy Gun, affectionately called ‘Gino,’ is owned by Dana Wetherell. 

Of the stallion, she said, “He’s a once in a lifetime horse, and I don’t know what I did to deserve him.”

Gino, by Spat Split And White out of Snowy River Gunner, was bred by Chiara Pelosi. 

“I got in his way everywhere I could yesterday and got a 204,” said Wetherell. “For me to have shown him like that and him to turn around and do this, it’s a testament to his mind. He wasn’t what I was looking for, but God knew what I needed more than I did.” 

Dare thanked Dana and Wes Wetherell for letting him ride the stallion, his team for keeping things running smoothly, and his wife, Laura, for supporting and managing his business.
