My Other Toy’s a Car, the daughter of a horse
co-owned by two Clovis natives, finished ninth in
National Cutting Horse Associaton
Non-Professional Futurity finals.

The finals were held Sunday in Fort Worth.

The win netted approximately $47,365.
Co-owner Kip DeFoor hopes she can
earn $300,000 to $400,000 by next December.

The Futurity is for three-year-old horses
who have not competed before.

“There were about 700 horses she was up against,”
said Bruce DeFoor, an art teacher at
Eastern New Mexico University’s Ruidoso
campus and former art instructor at
Clovis Community College.
“She came in the top 10. To even make the finals
is a miracle in most people’s eyes.
To make the top 10 is just unheard of.”

A cutting horse is bred to be
a cowhorse on a working ranch.

The horse separates one cow from
the herd and keeps it at a distance.
In competition, a horse gets three minutes to
“cut” three different cows,
and five judges score the horse’s performance.
The highest and lowest scores are thrown out.

My Other Toy is a Car
is the daughter of Smart Lena Boon.
