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.
