Congratulations to Shane Dowdy aboard Shez So Certain, the unanimous winner of the 2009 Hylton 3 Year Old & Over Maiden Western Pleasure at the Reichert Celebration.
This class was open to horses that have not been shown prior to the Reichert Celebration in any riding event. The three year old bay mare, owned by Jeffrey Thomas of McKinney, Texas (by Certain Potential and out of Just One Classy Lass by Just A Ladies Man) brought home a check for $50,000.
Twenty five horses showed on Wednesday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma to judges John Tuckey, Jan Hoskins, Murray Griggs and Dean Bogart. Two splits of 12 and 13 made up the prelims and 9 horses from each split came back to comprise a final round of 18 horses. The slot class cost $5,000 to enter.
