Dunit For a Dream Wins at the Florida Reining Classic

Dunit For A Dream, owned by Vicki Scarpinato and ridden by Jorge Puente, knocked it out of the park this week at the Florida Reining Classic winning the Open Novice Horse Level 2 and Level 3 classes. 

Vicki purchased Jane in 2021 from Jorge.  Her daughter, Lindsey rode reining horses for ten years but took a ten-year hiatus to get married and have a family.  Lindsey, Jane, and Jorge returned to the show pen and had a great 2022.  They won the Non-Pro Derby put on by the South Florida Reining Association.  At the 2022 Appaloosa World Show Lindsey and Jane also won the Non-Pro Reining Derby.

If you are unfamiliar with the Florida Reining Classic, it is a spectacular show!  It is a full week of classes with a number of Derby classes and a 4 year old Futurity Class.  The show, held in Jacksonville, Florida, is very exhibitor friendly and a much anticipated yearly event. 

This year, Jorge and Dunit For a Dream scored a 148 in the Open Novice Horse Level 2 and Level 3 to top the two classes. 

Dunit For a Dream was one of very few Appaloosas on the grounds.  If you are on social media, you also saw a stunning picture of Justa Jersey Boss owned by Jennings Performance Horses who showed in the same classes as Dunit For a Dream, scoring a 141 and placing to 10 in the Novice Level 1 class. 

We are super excited to see more appaloosas showing in NRHA events.
