TULSA, Okla. — Rosewood Ranch’s third year competing in the National Snaffle Bit Association World Championship Show proved to be its toughest challenge of three appearances. Still, the riders persevered, taking home 14 top-10 finishes with two Rosewood riders recording top-3 finishes, which included Rosewood’s Jamie Crone winning reserve grand champion.Competing Aug. 15-16 at the Built Ford Tough Complex in Tulsa, Okla., Rosewood faced a larger field with stiffer competition this year. “I believe we had better performances as a group, but with the steep competition, it was much harder to break into the top five,” said Rosewood Ranch Manager Eric Hammond.
