The last—and only—person in National Reining Breeders Classic history to sweep all four levels of the Non Pro Classic was Shaunda Ruckman (now Blinzler) and her black stallion Rufanicki (Lil Ruf Peppy x Chexanicki), accomplishing the incredible feat in 2011. The pair’s impressive score of 224 was worth more than $60,000!
In 2022, at the 25th NRBC, an incredible seven Non Pro contestants have qualified to the Finals in all four levels, and will take their shot April 22 at making history again.
The competition was tough across the board in the prelims, with a score of 215.5 as the bubble for the Level 4 Finals. The top seven in the Level 1 all qualified for the Level 4 Finals as well, led by Monica (Hicks) Mathison’s 218.5 on Girlz On Fire (Inferno Sixty Six x Fabulous Guns), which also topped the Level 2 prelims.
The Level 1 Qualifiers also advancing to the Level 4 Finals are:
1) Monica Mathison, Girlz On Fire, 218.5
2) Veronica Williams, Humble And Kind, 217.5
