"He was a huge part of our family," says Emily Ross, who won the Congress and a World Champion with him. "He brought our family together. He touched our lives and a lot of people before me."
One of the great war horses, Seven S Majestic
(Juice), passed away earlier this week at the age
of 24. He was spending his retirement days at the
Ross Family Farm located in Greensboro, North
Carolina. Courtney, Emily, Will, and Alex Ross
have amazing memories of this beautiful black
gelding, and the family will be forever linked
through their love of this incredible animal.

Riley Smith and Mr Mystified were the 1996 AQHYA Reserve World Champions in the 3 Year-Old Geldings
Recently, I was watching a rerun marathon of the
drama Criminal Minds on
TNT. The actor caught my
attention because he looked familiar for some
reason. About halfway through the show, I realized
that it was Riley Smith, whose father is trainer
and AQHA judge Russ Smith of Whitesboro, Texas.
Riley is also a former AQHYA President (96-97) and
showed mainly in the pleasure and halter events
when he was a youth exhibitor. Seeing him on
television, made be wonder what he has been up to
all these years since he stopped showing
horses.

Dan and Carol McWhirter with their late, great producing mare, Miss Rebel Rita. Her offspring include two AQHA Leading Sires, Good Asset and Investment Asset, along with the Congress Non-Pro Three-Year-Old Champion Futurity mare, Assets.
What has two equal sides and a bottom twice as long as its top? Trick question. There are two answers. A trapezoid and a horse with perfectly balanced conformation. Those involved with evaluating horses recognize this ideal build as having a trapezoid shape. The horse’s underline is twice as long as the back, the top line should be level from the withers to the croup and the horse should have a sloping shoulder balanced with strong hind quarters. |

trying cases in his own style: with zealous
advocacy and personalized attention to clients.”
He has built his farm in Palmer,
Texas--WhistleStop Ranch will the same amount of
passion as he has built up his law practice. Check
