The following pictures are of Smart N Chexy, a 2000 AQHA mare by Bueno Chexinic out of Chelsea Lena.  She was the only mare to make the finals of the 2006 Worlds Greatest Horseman competition and ended up 8th.  "Smarty" was 3rd high score in the preliminary Steer Stopping competition.  Smarty was originally owned and trained by Darren, later purchased by Crystal Ward, Lincolnton, NC, and was returned to Darren for training after he went out on his own.  Going into the competition the mare had only 4 months of Cutting and Roping training and ended up 8th overall!  Thank you Crystal for the opportunity to show this nice mare!

The following pictures are of the 2002 mare KR A Special Tee by Tejons Peppy Doc out of Dox Mark Her Irish.  At the time the mare was owned by Pete and Tamera Kyle, Whitesboro, TX.  Darren trained "Special Tee" as a head and heel horse.  The mare, after just 4 months Roping training Won the Limited Open Heading at the 2006 National Rope Horse Futurity Association.  She tied the High Score for the Preliminary Heading run for the Open and won the preliminary run of the Limited Open.  She also went on to place in the top 5 of the Open Heeling with Shawn Darnell as the Heeler.

At right is a photo of Peponitas Little Gal, a 2001 mare by Peponitas Acre out of Lemacs Little Girl.  She is owned by Darren's son, Reed Lawley.  "Shortcake" was started as a 3 year old by Darren and did not enter the showpen until 2005.  In 2005 she was the Limited Open Hackamore Champion for the South Central Region of the NRHCA in just 3 shows.  In 2006 she earned the Reserve Champion title with only 2 shows.  In 2007 she was top 10 for the Limited Open Bridle and only shown once.  She and Darren had a great show at the 2008 Worlds Greatest Horseman competition, falling just short of making the finals because of a bad go in the cutting.  Photo of Peponitas Little Gal Copyright by Primo Morales Photograghy
