Sandy cow cutter takes perfect score into Oregon Finals Rodeo at Redmond by SCOTT NEWTON Kim Rasmussen, a 1962 SUHS graduate, found out this week she is first alternate for the American Junior Quarter Horse Association’s World Championship Show in Tulsa, having finished fifth in Oregon Quarter Horse Association competi tion. Right now, however, she has another important event on her mind. This weekend she’ll be com peting in the Oregon High School Rodeo Finals in Redmond. And, the pressure is on as Rasmussen takes the best score, a perfect 30, into the state competition. She’s competed in five rodeos this season, winning three of them, in girls cow cutting. A competitor’s top three scores are considered going in to the state rodeo finals, with Rasmussen’s first-place finishes each worth 10 points Her closest competitor has 27 points. Rasmussen is also the 1962 Oregon High School Rodeo Association’s girls cutting director. Other girls who compete in cow cutting voted her in at a state meeting. Last year she was high school reserve champion in girls cow cut ting, and qualified for the National Finals, though she didn’t go as her horse was sold. The National Finals High School Rodeo will be held in Douglas, Wyo., this year, with 1200 students from 36 states expected to compete. Rasmussen, who rides a mare named Dribble Chick, would like to compete in the National Finals this year She’d like to go as Oregon’s cham pion. It is a title that has been elusive so far She was reserve champion last year in Oregon Cutting Horse Association and Northwest Cutting Horse Association competition. " It was a reserve champion year,” Rasmussen said. It may have been, but not by much. She missed the championship in the Oregon and Nor- thwest Cutting Horse Association competitions by 81 (In high school rodeo one competes for points, in OCHA and NWCHA competition one competes for prize money). Rasmussen is currently first in the standings in both the youth and ladies classes in OCHA and NWCHA com petition. That season runs through October. She has been competing in cow cut ting for about five years. It all began, simply enough, when her father bought a cutting horse. Her father, Robert Rasmussen, owns Canadian Cedar Products, and when he’s not buying lumber, he and his wife, Diane, raise quarter horses. The terms quarter horse and cutting horse may be used interchangeably. It could perhaps be considered a hobby and an investment all rolled into one, with the business end of it a major consideration. They have two 3-year-oId studs that will hopefully do well this fall in cut ting futurities in Olympia, Prinville and Sacramento. Doing well in the futurities would of course increase the value of the horses as studs. Dribble Chick herself reportedly once earned her keep as a race horse. Dribble Chick will be taking a break soon, however. “ My m are’s bred to have a colt next year,” Rasmussen explained After that, though, Rasmussen plans to be com peting with Dribble Chick again. She has won consistently with Dribble Chick, a horse trained by Jim Col leary of the So-So Ranch in Eugene. Rasmussen was in partnership with Colleary on the ownership of Dribble Chick. As a graduation gift, Colleary gave Kim his half interest. As to the value of a horse in com petition, Rasmussen is hard to tie down. " I t ’s up to the horse, really, but you have to know how to back off," Rasmussen said. Last year she rode six different horses “They kept get ting sold," Rasmussen said In cow cutting one rides into a herd, drives out a cow, separates it from the herd and puts down the reins, letting the horse keep the cow from the herd. Four others are out there on horses, keeping the herd under control. The best scores occur when two cows are separated from the herd in the two and one-half minute time period. Separating more than two cows Is not an advantage. One gets marked down for “rein ing" the horse, or cuing it in any physical manner. Judges give scores from 60 to 80, with 70 being an average ride. The scoring of the judges has a lot to do with how good of a horse one has, but Rasmussen also points out it’s not as easy as sitting back and letting the horse take over. Another horse Rasmussen had went lame at a show at Oxbow Ranch in Prairie City, Ore., this summer, and so she had to borrow two dif ferent horses. On one she finished third in the ladies class and on the other she won the youth class. I t ’s sometimes easier to cut on a horse one isn’t fam iliar with, she said, because one doesn't know what bad habits that horse might have. About riding other horses, she add ed, “ I t ’s kind of fun. I t ’s better than if you just depend on one horse. You kind of get to know that horse and then that’s kind of easy. I think it’s better experience if you ride all dif ferent kinds of horses." Rasmussen currently works at the Rainbow Ridge Ranch for D r Chris H aug e, a p la s tic surgeon in Gresham. She’s not sure where she's going to go to college, but she plans to study veterinary medicine. Right now she’s just concerned with the state Rodeo Finals.
