ThisChicHasBigDreams Shines With a 224.5 at the NRBC Open Classic

ThisChicHasBigDreams scores a 224.5 at the National Reining Breeders Classic in the Open Classic with Craig Schmersal, delivering one of her strongest and most dynamic performances to date

The energy was electric at the National Reining Breeders Classic, and ThisChicHasBigDreams rose to the moment with one of the most memorable runs of the event. With Million Dollar trainer Craig Schmersal at the reins, Charlotte delivered a phenomenal performance in the Open Classic, earning an impressive 224.5.

Known for her heart, consistency, and remarkable foundation, Charlotte attacked every maneuver with precision and drive — from big, sweeping circles to her trademark sliding stop that brought the crowd to life.

As a daughter of Magnum Chic Dream and out of Slide By Shiner, Charlotte once again proved why her pedigree continues to produce excellence in the show pen. This NRBC run adds another highlight to her growing list of accomplishments and showcases the depth of talent she brings to both her performance career and her future as a producer.

“She felt incredible the whole way through,” Schmersal said. “She’s the kind of mare that gives you everything she has every time she walks in the pen. That 224.5 was everything we'd hoped for.”

With this powerful performance, ThisChicHasBigDreams reinforces her place among today’s most exciting and consistent reining mares — and all eyes are on what she’ll do next.
