During
the 2001 American Quarter Horse Association World Show, Dell Hendricks
rode the flashy stallion, Broadmoor, to claim the AQHA Junior Reining
World Championship.
The title has been a goal for Hendricks and owner Imp Agr Cuogi of Vignola,
Italy. After the win, it was time to regroup and chart a new course for
Broadmoor.
By early January, a new goal had crystallized into a clearcut plan. Hendricks
not only knew the 2002 goal for Broadmoor, but had taken the first step
toward realizing it.
"We decided that Broadmoor should try for the National Reining Horse Association
Open World Championship," Hendricks said. "The plan is to show him at
the big open reinings here in the United States the first part of the
year, then send him overseas for the big open events in late summer in
Europe." By mid-January, a score of 147 at the 55-entry Fort Worth Stock
Show NRHA Open Class became their first step on the road to pursuing this
new goal. As an added bonus, they won the AQHA Junior Reining class, as
well.
Although he's convinced of Broadmoor's ability, Hendricks is quick to
caution that one win does not a season make. "An NRHA year-end title takes
a year-long effort and there are a lot of variables," Dell commented.

And the route to this title will be a globe-crossing journey, as his owner
and trainer give the Smart Chic Olena son out of Bar J Jackie an opportunity
to become the newest bi-continental NRHA World Champion.
"With the changing climate of the National Reining Horse Association and
the development of the big open purses in Europe, it only makes sense
to send him there. The total added money on four shows this fall is over
$110,000. Plus, since Cuogi is from Italy, that makes it even better!"
Hendricks commented.
