Donna Krening Passes Away
By Ann Bleiker
The WPRA sends their condolences to the family of Donna Krening who recently passed away on January 10.
Donna who called Eaton, Colorado home during her competition days qualified for the National Finals Rodeo three times, winning the average title in back-to-back years in 1980 and 1981. In 1980, at her first NFR, she tied with Sharon Camarillo turning in the fastest time recorded at that year’s event with a 16.25 second run.
The horse that carried Donna to the NFR was named Satch and he won the WPRA Horse With the Most Heart not once but twice in 1981 and again in 1983.
May She Rest in Peace.
