World Champion Tie-Down Ropers Meged and Hanchey showcase the best horses in the industry at the Royal Crown Guthrie.

Haven Meged /

The 2024 Royal Crown Guthrie Event is currently being held May 21-30. The week started with barrel racing action, which was followed by breakaway and tie-down roping. In order to compete in the Royal Crown events, horses must be sired by a Royal Crown stallion. Within the competition, there are many incentives and divisions that split the horses into their respectable classes.

In both the breakaway and tie-down roping competitions we saw Haven Meged dominate on his string of talented horses. The World Champion Tie-Down Roper and multiple-time NFR qualifier won on several horses throughout the event. In the 4 & Under Breakaway, he rode the 2020 stallion that they call the Super Black Eagle (GUNNATRASYA x JOLENE CASH). The pair came back again in the 4 & Under Tie-Down Roping to be second in the average. Haven also placed second and third in the 6 & Under Tie-Down Roping and second in the All-Ages Tie-Down Roping as well.

Cheyenne McCartney, a National Finals Breakaway Roping (NFBR) qualifier had much success as well. She and CR Tuff King won the 6 & Under Breakaway Roping. CR Tuff King is a 2019 gelding out of Woody Be Tuff by Calie Del Rey.

Shane Hanchey, also a World Champion Tie-Down Roper, brought a trailer full of horses to showcase for different owners in Guthrie. He placed third in the 4 & Under Tie-Down Roping and won both the 6 & Under and All-Ages. In the 6 & Under, he rode the 2019 gelding, Ohh Its a Boon (ONCE IN A BLUE BOON x OUR LITTLE NOEL), owned by Jeff Schieber. He also rode CK Playgirlbydesign in the All-Ages where he also came out on top. The 2017 mare out of Slick By Design by High Brown Playgirl is owned by Clint Morgan.
