The 2024 ARHFA World Championship Heeling Short Round is set with 25 handy horses and riders ready to make their bid at the World Championship—and these are the bloodlines that built them.
Woody Be Tuff has three offspring in the 2024 ARHFA short round, the most of any stallion. A Savanah Cat has two colts in it, and one of them—Cheyenne Red Cat—is also in the heading short round. Bet Hesa Cat has two offspring in the top 25 as well.
They will compete Friday, Oct. 18. The day kicks off with Intermediate Heading and Heeling, followed by the 3-and-4-year-old finals and finally, the Open Finals starting at 7 p.m.
In the heeling finals, they’ll run slow to fast time, with Jonezin For My Boss and Bet Hesa Shiner tied for the No. 24 position.
