Lisa Lockhart and An Oakie With Cash. (Kenneth Springer)

It is the fourth NFR round win for the team of Lockhart and Louie, whose rise to rodeo prominence began one year ago with a win in his first ever NFR run. Since that time, the buckskin gelding has earned a reputation as one of the toughest rodeo horses in barrel racing.

“I’m just thrilled to break the ice,” Lockhart said of their winning run. “I was so focused on trying to keep them standing.

“I knew [Louie] was a rock star in my eyes, but to be a rock star like he’s being, and he’s just gotten stronger throughout the year, I just feel so fortunate and very blessed.”

Lockhart was also touched that Louie had been named the WPRA’s Horse with the Most Heart this year, and award voted on by her peers.

“As an owner, you always think that of your horse,” she said, “but to voted that by your peers, it really meant something.”

Six riders hit barrels during the 2nd Go, including championship leader Brittany Pozzi. Eight of the 15 barrel racers have now hit a barrel.

Brittany Pozzi remains in the lead for the World Championship with $131,282.48 in 2011 earnings, still nearly $10,000 ahead of Lindsay Sears, who leads the race for the NFR Average title by one hundredth of a second over Sherry Cervi.
