Dallas is a two-time winner of the CPCA’s Bruce Bremner Memorial Award for Best Barreling Outfit, and a two time winner of the CPCA’s All-Around Championship. As an outrider, Dallas was the 1997 CPCA Top Rookie Outrider, and outrode for Rod Salmond’s championship outfit that captured the Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1998.
