Summary

Along For The Ride, #11: Luca Fappani shares his super eventful first NRHA Non Pro Futurity with his dad, Andrea– together Andrea and Luca take you through the process of goal setting, preparing and training top level non pro futurity horses for OKC. Luca also lays out his personal roadmap to becoming the 2019 NRHA #1 Money Earning Non Pro. And lastly, Andrea breakdowns one of his best pre futurity seasons and concludes with what he deems as one of his worst NRHA Futurity performances ever.
