Ray Hunt Memorial

TributetoRayHunt



There will be a memorial tribute to horse trainer legend Ray Hunt who passed away recently. It will be held February 27-28, 2010 at the Will Rogers Memorial Center Watt Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

It has a very unique and wonderful format. From the event website: ” Each of the participants will be given forty-five minutes for their presentations – working with a young horse. Horses for the event are being provided by Carolyn Hunt, Candi Cowden and David Brown. This is not a competition; rather it is an opportunity to honor both the horse and Ray’s memory. The presentations will be critiqued not as to how much was accomplished, but more importantly, how it was accomplished and how the needs of each horse were met by the presenter. A panel of the participant’s peers will be critiquing the presentations, along with each audience member who will have the chance to vote for the presenter they see as most embodying the ideals Ray worked to instill in all of us. The presenter voted as giving the best demonstration will receive one of Ray’s personal Dale Harwood saddles. Each presenter will receive a piece of Ray’s personal tack in recognition of their skill, and as Ray would say their “try”.”

Guest speakers include Larry Mahan, Ty Murray and Joel Walters.
